Watching Jordan Rhodes and Karamoko Dembele in action for Blackpool there. Dembele missed a great chance to win it in stoppage time.

Cheers 👍

I tried a dummy booking from Munich to Dusseldorf on the 16th but it won't let you book for a group of more than 5 people. You might need to do two separate bookings.

Booked all of our train tickets from DB using Virgin broadband, so not everyone's affected.

Who misses out for them? We can only take 20 outfield players. PS - I'm excited about Conway, looks a real prospect 👍

According to the Mr Bates programme anyway, the extra cash paid by the postmasters went into a holding account for a couple of years while any investigations were carried out (if at all) and then the money was quietly absorbed into Post Office profits.

Indeed, heard this guy's story the other day. Ostracised by his community and died a broken man, an absolute travesty 😡 https://www.stornowaygazette.co.uk/business/post-office-scandal-uist-case-to-feature-in-inquiry-4475495

First 9 darter on TV... For what it's worth ther first 147 on telly was 2 years earlier.

Köszönöm! I worked in Budapest 20 years ago, but am a bit out of touch with the old labdarugas. The Hungarian fans I knew seemed to be struggling to come to terms with the fact their glory years were over. A bit like us TBH 😀

Can't advise you on travel but what are the Hungarians thoughts on our group?

So the story goes, if there was a choice to be made Jock Stein would always sign a protestant ahead of a catholic, because he knew Rangers would never sign the other guy.

I think you'd need to give the person your login details. Not ideal unless it's someone you know well.

Pretty sure it's to and from Germany and then within the country. The validity of the ticket is only during the tournament as well. If you're wanting to nip in and out of other countries it might be you have to get an actual inter-rail pass, although I don't know how much more expensive that would be... If you’re coming to Germany from abroad, the Interrail Pass EURO 2024 is just right for you. With this special offer, match ticket holders are entitled to a 25% discount on specific Interrail Passes.

Kevin De Bruyne, decent sub to bring on 😮

I do agree with this, although IMO there should a couple of additional slots for European teams, even if it's into the inter confederation playoffs.

There are going to be six CONCACAF teams guaranteed at 2026. Canada, Mexico & USA qualify automatically as hosts. Three more teams make it through via the groups. Two CONCACAF teams will also enter the inter confederation tournament for the final two spots (all continents outside of Europe participate).

Great story how he grew up an 1860 Munich fan and was set to sign for them, when one of their players smacked him in the face during an under 14s game. Which prompted him to sign for the city's lesser team Bayern instead, with obvious long term consequences! Die Ohrfeige "The Slap" is this regarded as a significant moment in German football history. Ironically the chap who hit the Kaiser was called King (Gerhard König).

BST yes. Saturday teatime.

RIP Annie 🙁

Assuming they win their group, Dusseldorf on 6th July.

I'll temper this optimism by saying we are currently bookies' favourites to finish bottom of the group 🫣 (Admittedly the odds are tight between, Switzerland, Hungary and us).

From that table the most likely outcome (5 possible permutations) is that if we qualify in 3rd place we will play 1F (probably Portugal) in Frankfurt.

I agree the 16 team Euros was a better format but much harder to qualify for. With 24 teams you could have a format where the best 4 group winners get a bye to the quarter finals, that would encourage teams to rack up the goals. The remaining 2 group winners and 6 runners up would play the 2nd round fixtures. Means a lot of sitting about for some teams though.
