    Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with that. But I've been both ecstatic & distraught at various points in what has been one our best seasons ever. I love watching Barnsley, I don't love watching England.

    Can’t wait personally, don’t understand football fans who aren’t excited at watching Europe’s best footballers playing in one tournament!

    Watching France in the friendlies oozing class, should only get better for the tournament.

    I have a greater interest in watching Michal Helik and hope he has a terrific Euro 2020.
    I'm probably not a real fan! :D:D

    I’m sure you’re assessment on the squad is spot on. My apathy is no reflection on them either way.

    If they get to the semi’s like the last World Cup I won’t be jumping on any bandwagon, as I didn’t then. I’ll watch more games in the latter stages for sure, but not bothered who wins, just hope for some entertaining footy (which won’t happen probably!)

    I’ll be watching the matches but there’s no way o can get excited for England which is sad, boring manager, boring tactics, and boring kits when you look at other nationalities

    What do you call a Scotsman at the knockout stage of a major football tournament?

    There’s nothing to get. Can’t people support who they want?

    Skybet offering 25/1 on a goal being scored in every game of the tournament including extra time. With third place teams being able to qualify it will give the worst two teams in a group a reason to go for it when they meet each other. Probably won't happen but it adds a bit of interest to games you wouldn't usually care for.

    Possibly . That’s the grand kids juice. They know Grandad’s juice comes in yellow tins.

    I don't understand people making posts about things they supposedly don't care about. I'm not a fan of cricket or baseball or those kind of sports but I don't need to make a post saying I don't care about it the day of a big game.

    Either way hopefully there's some really good games and maybe you change your mind, I don't know. Personally I'm looking forward to it, although as someone mentioned I'm not into them constantly adding more and more teams for this or especially the world cup.

    First gripe. The authorities efforts to wipe out traditional kits continues. Turkey play in white shirts red shorts a nd Italy blue shirts white shorts. Tonight....all red v all white.

    They've been doing it for years now Helen. It's getting to the point where they may as well just award one team an all blue kit and the other an all white one in every match similar to boxing.
