Damn. I thought it was Sunday the Euros kicked off!
But never mind. If the Azzurris had lost to Turkey, I'd have been surprised. But a slight financial loss, since I fancy the Azzurris.

On last night's form, so do I, but it'll be hard for them to maintain that level of performance throughout the tournament. I think Switzerland will give them the hardest test in the group (although I hope I'm wrong and instead it will come from Wales), as indeed are the Swiss my tips for dark horses because they have some great players throughout their team.Damn. I thought it was Sunday the Euros kicked off!
But never mind. If the Azzurris had lost to Turkey, I'd have been surprised. But a slight financial loss, since I fancy the Azzurris.
I was rather disappointed in Turkey, but they were simply rendered as unable to play their game, due to the sheer intensity of pressing from Italy and their ability to hold the ball. Turkey will be smarting for sure, so I just hope they don't take it out of Wales in the next game!
Looking forward not just to Wales kicking off their tournament today against the Swiss, but in particular tomorrow to England vs Croatia. That'll provide an inkling as to where England are 'at'.
They're a quality side, and I like Southgate, both as a manager and a person. He's a good guy. For me, those two will finish occupying the two top positions in Group D, as I think Scotland will do well to finish third - more on that later, though

I know...and they could've scored 5 or 6, had they taken their chances, which is just unheard of!
I'll be watching some of Wales vs. Switzerland before we head out

Not a bad effort from Wales, maybe they might get past the group stage.

Christian Eliksen collapsed with what seems like a heart attack in the Denmark/Finland game.(now obviously cancelled) After what seems like an age, he has been transferred to hospital and is stable.
I hope he is ok.

Grant

Seems to be awake thankfully. It looked dreadful when it happened.
I wondered if it was the heat rather than his heart although they were clearly doing CPR on the pitch. All speculation until we hear officially.
If it was heatstroke though, it does not bode well for Qatar next year!

I am trying to recover from what I saw tonight. That the Finnish/Danish players resumed the game amazes me.
The result means nothing, IMO.
But got 6-1 on the Azzurri. (Italy)
