How superb is Euro 2024 in Germany going to be?
Hopefully COVID a thing in the past, all the games in one country, easy to travel around, great cities, great stadia, great beer and people free to be who they want to be. A summer of love. 🇩🇪

Thoughts about RB Leipzig aside, I feel like it's not talked about enough that it's pretty cool that Leipzig's Red Bull Arena was built literally in the middle of the shell of the old 120,000 capacity Zentralstadion.
Can't think of many other examples of this.

Just to show how smoothly this works. Back in September my Day 2 PCR Test:
1) Cost £48
2) Didn't arrive
3) When I messaged the company, they said it had arrived
4) Nobody contacted me when I didn't/couldn't do it
It's a con, a swindle to line the pockets of their Tory chums.
All fully vaccinated arrivals to the UK are required to self-isolate when they arrive, take a PCR test on or before day 2, and continue to self-isolate until they receive a negative result. (2/4)

Just researching some stadiums for

They have three stadiums. A modern arena, a second team pitch with insane floodlights & then a HUGE DOME. All in the poorest country in Europe.

Hopefully the pictures show you how steep the old stadium's terraces were, and also the fact you climb up the old steps/entrance to get into the ground too!

We are (rightly) critical of UEFA in many areas, but the introduction of the Europa Conference League has been a boon to many of Europe's lesser nations & by proxy given us a very high standard Europa League too.

Too many thoughts to share.
I've been to almost all Austria home games since 2019 & some away. Turgid stuff (Foda) & scintillating (Rangnick).
Hopeful

is the beginning of an Austria who becomes a genuine KO stage force in future.
A missed chance, but more to come.

High on the list of lesser known, awesome football stadiums - well, to me anyway!
Chorzów's 55,211 seat Silesian Stadium is a corker. Reopened in 2018, it's Poland's second biggest stadium and a UEFA Category 4 ground. Only an hour drive from Krakow.
A must visit 🇵🇱🏟️

Another underwhelming night for Austria, but a 3-1 win vs. Faroe Islands. They're in the midst of maybe the most uninspired eight-game unbeaten run you've ever seen.

The Dirty Dozen attempted a coup on England, Spain and Italy's national sport. Huge parts of our shared cultural identities.
Huge points deductions, European bans, financial penalties, even relegation - the book should be thrown at them by everyone.

Final night in the UK after 21 days!
3 COVID tests, 10 day quarantine, flight bans, cancellations, Tier 2 to Tier 4, Brexit - not ideal.
Spent quality time with my parents, so the positives outweigh the negatives hugely. Buzzing for 10 more days quarantine in Vienna 😐🙌

What a joy that was, although my main takeaways...
1) No one wore a mask
2) End behind the goal was over capacity & in Puskas Arena you can walk anywhere on any tier
3) Atmosphere was electric
4) Beer was cheap
5) The Hungarians around me were super nice & got me a beer!
