EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Anyone suffering withdrawal symptoms from the tournament?

I'm bad enough when the group stage goes down from three games a day to two games, let alone when its all over.

It's worse this time obviously as I've never followed us all the way to a Final before, but the defeat mixed with the tournament actually ending has left me with an empty feeling these last two days.

Ii keep looking at the UEFA website hoping they'll announce some more games   :-))))

    Had both jabs and tested positive this morning.

    Personally know of 9 people so far who have tested positive. 3 from my group, 2 from a group of friends we met up with and 4 from another group who we didn’t mix with on final day.

    Feeling pretty crap but hopefully nothing too serious. 11 days locked indoors is not appealing though.

    I know exactly what you mean. New season can’t come quick enough and fingers crossed an away trip to Budapest.

    Wife and I both received the NHS App ping on Tuesday evening telling us to isolate though strangely my wife was told for nine days and I only got four days!
    She took a home test yesterday and it was negative and both of us have had both jabs

    I found it a very disjointed tournament, great atmosphere at Budapest, Copenhagen, Wembley for latter games and a couple of Saint Petersburg games with Russia playing. The others were woeful, especially bad were Seville, Munich, Baku and Hampden. Some good matches though, frustrated by England not going for it and unleashing the attacking talent, echoes of Luzhniki. Do think Southgate lost the plot with his pens choice, 2 of the lads had less than a minute on the pitch, Saka has never taken one (Batty and Southgate himself all over again) and Pickford was 6th.
    And yes got the covid, mine is raging too, only had 1 jab so far, my son has it too. Suppose you catch it sooner or later and my town is riddled with it so no big deal, just see it out.

    Yes I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms. I've arrived back home in the US and started watching the CONCAAF gold cup. Last nights big game was Trinidad v El Salvador....I hope we take allocation of tickets to Hungry and Poland.

    Absolutely Peter. Don’t know what to do with myself this weekend. Doesn’t help that I’m floored after getting my second jab yesterday. Initially only managed to do the games in Glasgow due to locality, but got lucky in the UEFA sale for the final and that’s given me the tonic to rejoin the ESTC. I doubt I’ll get to every game, but having one or two to look forward to will make the rest of this pandemic that much more bareable. It was brilliant having the games to look forward to over the last month amidst the doom and gloom coming out of the news every day.

    I had no time for the format ever since it was announced. Having said that the last 16 months or so has been so appalling despite the format and the ongoing Covid issues that restricted crowds I still enjoyed it and it was about the only thing I've looked forward to in the last year or so.

    I miss watching all the games on TV and looking forward to going to Wembley.

    I had this feeling as well. I still watch highlights of the matches. It was a great tournament. One we can look back on with immense pride. Went to all the games except Czech Republic [lost in ballot] and Ukraine. Wouldn’t change it.

    I loved this tournament. Considering there was reduced attendances I thought it was a very entertaining tournament. I was fixated.

    Loved all the games. It’s only been since that I realised how fixated non attending fans were also. There was a lot of people who told me how jealous they were. The only game I didn’t enjoy was the final for obvious reasons, however, this tournament will live long in the memory.

    blogs: Ian Fenwick: England emerging for bright future

    I’m someone who is lucky enough work within the FA and the one thing I can say from my experience is that the future of English football is amazingly bright. Of course it’s not enough to always say that the things are going to be good in...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Belo Horizonte a fair setting for England’s new beginnings

    Last time the World Cup came to Brazil, England went to the city of Belo Horizonte to be humiliated; it is the scene of that notorious 1-0 defeat to the United States. Perhaps humiliation is too strong a word this time. After all, England’s 2014 World Cup campaign has been marked by single goal defeats to former world champions, whereas back in 1950 the pride of the old First Division went down to what essentially...

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: England can bounce back if they take a few risks

    After the disappointment of the last two games, it’s vital that England take risks against Costa Rica. We don’t need two holding midfielders, Roy Hodgson has to start Adam Lallana over Danny Welbeck and we should switch to three men at the back. There was a clear opportunity against Uruguay and Italy to go to a back three – it would have allowed us to put some of our inventive players into more creative...

    blogs: John Hemmingham: Let’s blow our own trumpet for once – come on England!

    I’m used to blowing my own trumpet but not when it comes to predictions – I think we’ll get a result against Uruguay, but I thought we’d beat Italy 4-0! You’ve got to be optimistic as an England fan, sometimes it’s blind optimism but if you do what we do you have to believe. I’ve been following England with the band for 18 years now and it has always been the same. Roy Hodgson...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Uruguay may raise their game away from Fortaleza furnace

    In the build-up to the World Cup a Uruguayan company launched an imaginative advertising campaign. Draped in a sky blue sheet, the colour of Uruguay’s shorts, the ghost of 1950 wandered around Rio frightening the locals – no one ever here needs reminding that the last time the World Cup was held in Brazil, Uruguay walked off with the trophy. So there was an element of Brazilian joy at Uruguay’s humiliating...
