Not many stand out games. Tonight obvs, Spain Croatia, a couple of others. Enjoyed it a lot but wouldn't say it's been brilliant every night. Last weekend was interminable, was almost bored of football
Can't think of any better tournaments though as my memory is shit. Needs more vuvuzelas. |

Euro 2000 for me, best tournament in my lifetime, some absurdly deep squads that year with world class players at or near their prime. Look at France ffs, Vieria, Lizarazu, Pires, Barthez, Desailly, Petit, Anelka, Henry, Djorkaeff, Thuram, Karambeu, Trezeguet, Deschamps, Zidane.
Italy had Del Piero, Totti, Cannavaro, Nesta, Maldini, Inzaghi, Albertini. The Dutch had a great squad, Portugal were a threat with Rui Costa and Figo, even England despite a shit tournament had a very talented group. We do not have that now, feels like we are between generations with the older stars past their best years and a dearth behind them. |

this tournament has been a bit shit, tbh. a couple of open games and obvs the wales and iceland "stories" (wales marginally more attractive to watch than greece), but all the big players look knackered, as usual. international football is shite, though, so expectations are low. all the johnny big %@#$&!s can't be arsed. bale doesn't even look good playing for wales.
missing the dutch infighting too. and the danes. soz. can't remember many tournaments that weren't better. all the older ones had star players. |
