potential disaster to be hosting an English national sports team as Krakow is a great party city. After the debacle of the rugby world cup showed it might have been better to set up camp in a small village with no clubs or bars. lol

i look forward to seeing the england team tossing Shaun Wright-Phillips in a midget tossing competition

I do like a nice bit o' tongue & groove

England tried the small village optiion at the world cup if you remember. And John Terry and co spent all tournament bleating that they were bored.

Says something about the stadium though

Says something about the stadium though

"This is one of the dugouts at England's training base in Krakow - about 180 miles from Warsaw, where a 56,000-capacity National Stadium will be constructed in time to host the opening match of the tournament"

Does that mean our (group) games are in Poland then? Surely it's yet to be determined until the draw?
