General Euros chatter

[Rita_Poon]

On the cusp of the Tournament, thought an area for general shenanigans would be best, for crowd* news, and travel and such.

What a nice distraction for a few weeks. If Germany win it, what an extended Octoberfest they'll have.

England fans will get absolutely battered by the first non cheese eating country’s fans they face.

I've heard that a few Scottish fans will be wearing kilts, having the odd glass of lager, and listening to the caterwauling of out of tune bagpipes. Will keep you posted.

The land of pilsner lagers, they'll never see daylight. Andreas Brunner (Augustiner), Rainer Kansy (Hacker-Pschorr), Rolf Dummert (Hofbräu), Bernd Kräußel (Löwenbräu), Christian Dahncke (Paulaner) and Friedrich Geiger (Spaten) will see to that.

Surely one for the universe thread, with foresight like that Nostradamus will be calling?

I forgot dressing up as a nun whilst playing the bagpipes.

Germany will do well to win their group.

I live in Germany. My partner is German. My son is half-German. I'd love to see Germany win it - but then I look at their squad and know they'll do tremendously well to reach the semi-finals.

This isn't West Germany or even Germany circa 2006-2016. This is a team that lost a World Cup qualifier to North Macedonia. So did Italy, and nobody is talking them up as winners...

Home advantage can't be ignored though and it counts for a lot. I think they have a chance you know and worse German teams than this have got to a final.

Great technique.

Great technique.

You know what they say about nuns.

Was planning in stopping at the Irish bar to watch Scotland, how predictable are we?
