The General Euro 2016 thread

Jesus I got tickets to some fucking awful game. It literally couldn't have gone any worse other than the top one!

Ukraine v Northern Ireland

Might see you there at this match!

 

[blademan89]

4 Cevlar vests wouldn't go a miss for that one! Not looking to sell them mate, looking to exchange as we have booked our flights already.

What price tickets you got? The northern ireland one will be worth £250 for a cat 4. Id sell if you cant exchange it for 1 you want.

 

[CFC91]

Looks like i've got lucky in the England fans ballot. Tickets to every game and now £450 lighter!

 

[Madglover]

You must have a lot of caps already then? If you got Wales

I assume i got Russia, slovakia and quarters as thats all i applied for

Around £280 quid down had to go for cat 2 either way

10 caps mate

Got all 3 group games and the Final. Only one I applied for and missed out on was Round of 16. Got bumped up to Cat 2 for Wales and Cat 3 for Russia Slovakia and Final. Well chuffed

 

[Tomm]

Too many teams and too many games.

 

[Tomm]

Why we need to watch Hungary- Albania match. This match must be in qualification rounds.

 

[GodsGift]

No one's forcing you to watch it.

 

[Tomm]

This means, that they only watch this game. But this is great tournament and there must be quality. Uninteresting games devaluate games of group.

 

[AnkleBiter]

Hungary and Albania aren't even in the same group? I can't wait for these Euros, new teams, passionate fans not used to the occasion and a great venue.

I'm still waiting for application results for Norn Iron-Germany and the first knockout stage game for the winners of England's group (it'd probably end up being Wales...). Driving me mad!

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Come the summer, football deprived sad gits like me will be salivating at the prospect of (fixtures like) Hungary v Albania. I mean - the beast Lorik Cana, who wouldn't want to catch him on action?

 

[mnb089mnb]

Hungary vs Albania is the final we all want to see.

I've got a Follow My Team ticket to watch Wales all the way to the final. Seems mad to have purchased a potential European Championships Final ticket for Wales, but there you go.

£1200 on my credit card!

 

[mistermagic]

FFS stop talking about Hungary/Albania, as mouth-watering a prospect as it is, it ain't gonna happen!

I'm also very much looking forward as to whether I got tickets or not. Booked all Paris games and the 3 England games.

 

[blademan89]

Long shot but anyone know of any spare Wales tickets. I've got spare Slovakia and Russia ones.

I think France are trying not to have a repeat of 2010 here

 

[Super_horns]

I know he was suspended pending an equiry into his involvement in a blackmailing case so maybe they have just felt it's not worth the hassle picking him - with all the extra attention it might bring?

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Reportedly their 'camp' was split into two factions, one pro Benzema and one anti Benzema / pro Valbuena. If that is true, it makes sense to pick neither and do away with the fictionalising. Plus they have so much talent going forward... Griezmann, Lacazette, Girod, Payet, Martial, etc. I'm sure they'll cope!

 

[mossypne]

My mates squad that he wants for EURO 2016.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Long shot but anyone know of any spare Wales tickets. I've got spare Slovakia and Russia ones.

I'm looking for two for the Russia game.

 

[blademan89]

I'm looking for two for the Russia game.

I can get Russia tickets need Wales though

Nah. Benzema is a chav who was brought up in the slums of Lyon. He kept his good mates who somehow acquired a video of Valbeuna boning some chick. There's not much more to it. Team cohesion is good and much better without Benzema. Bit like Nasri, boy's world-class but his attitude with the France kit on his shoulders stinks. Go and play for Algeria, Karim. You have my blessing.

Thing is this puts Valbuena in a poor position. He didn't do anything wrong (apart from, y'know, recording his sexual exploits, not my thing really) but he may not go because of that. I don't think he's firestarter à la Nasri, Benzema and his attitude for France is possibly the best we've had since Zidane. I'd take him and force Benzema to retire personnally but that probably won't happen.

 

[mistermagic]

Alright lads so who's going to which games?

I've got England/Russia on the 11th, Belgium/Ireland on the 18th, then 2 KO games which will certainly feature France (unless we finish 3rd which I'm hoping we won't) on the weekend of 25-26th of June. A mate of mine may have spot for me for a quarter-final at the Stade de France as well.

 

[GodsGift]

I'm going to Romania v Switzerland at Parc des Princes, then off to the fan zone in Lens for England v Wales.

 

[mistermagic]

Got a spare?

 

[silkyman]

Kompany out for Belgium...

 

[Super_horns]

Probably does them a favour being ruled out given his injury record because he wouldn't stay fit during the tournament..

 

[Nilsson]

Probably does them a favour being ruled out given his injury record because he wouldn't stay fit during the tournament..

Agreed. Alderweireld-Vertonghen is the way to go for them anyway, they just need some good full backs.

 

[Madglover]

England vs Russia and England vs Slovakia

I have a potential ticket to Italy vs Sweden that I've been offered but I might not take it up as I think I will be back in England for a few days between the two games

 

[blademan89]

I've got all 3 England games. Bought tickets for both potential venues wether we come 1st or 2nd.(if we come 3rd I'm going home in disgust). Got tickets for the quarter final in lille which if we win the group and the last 16 were in. Got final tickets too. Didn't bother buying any semi final ones. Also have a ticket to the runner up of A vs the runner up of C
