I think its highly telling the 4 semi finalists all played their group games at home.

Try being a supporter that has to do the following.

Win the group and its one destination.
Runner up and its another destination.
Third in the group and it could've been 4 different destinations.

All in normal times would need flights and hotels booked well in advance

There's an answer to that; watch it on the telly! Big Grin

Although some people did lose connection due to the thunderstorms! Confused

Yeah,but I think those teams benefitted from being able to ease themselves into the competition.

Although it would be funny if you won it and the only team you didnt beat was Scotland Laugh

Only sometimes Snoots? This is UEFA we're talking about. Very debatable if Baku is in Europe anyway. If they must send teams that far send them to Tenerife for crying out loud.

Now what a great away day(week that would be).

Although Baku is on the list of places to visit.

At least the teams have direct flights where as the poor old supporters have to almost always go via some obscure outpost

England always get knocked out when we're on ITV.

Tomorrow night's match is on ITV. Whistle

We'll if we do manage to beat Denmark, we'll pump either of these two. Whistle

I haven't seen anything to fear so far?? Maybe they are cancelling each other out but they have both created so little and defensively both look suspect. Happy they are playing extra time as well!!

Aye, but let's worry about Denmark first.
