Euro 2016 – Harder to get knocked out than progress

Another draw for England, failing to be positive, decisive, clinical and have some kind of cutting edge to beat Slovakia. Still unbeaten though, plenty of possession and maybe playing against a decent side we’d have more space and play a more attacking, pacier game (or get stuffed against a decent attack).

What was Woy thinking about making changes? A lot of despair after the game, a few thoughts about not bothering with the Round of 16 even – all corrected by the morning though over croissants in the sunshine…

Plenty of strange results though and what looks like an unbalanced draw with this format seeing all the home nations progress (except Scotland) to the round of 16 and now the thousands of England fans have to make their way down to Nice to play Iceland rather than Paris – where unbelievably if they progress we’d go next, followed by all the way back South to Marseille then back up to Paris! No one will complain if we’re in the final of course… Ha!

Plenty of La Tania regulars and workers in St Etienne (and Lyon the day before) – see who you can spot on the pics. Great pre-match in St Etienne with plenty of music and outside bars – organisation lacking again though in road delays before the game and massive delays on the trains after the game with fans trying to get back to Lyon etc.

Anyway – onwards and upwards hopefully, back to Nice, Ma Nolans, Waynes Bar, Le Meridian roof top terrace, the best Kebabs and THAT ice cream parlour…
