They did look into moving but because most of the teams had already taken the best bases in Ukraine. It doesnt help that one of our games is the furthest away from the Poland border either.
Because they chose the hotel and training facilities before the games were announced and there was nowhere better in Ukraine because all the teams had chosen their places.
All the knockout games will be in Poland, except the final. I think.
Thats the important bit, the 'retired' group of Footballers who probably would all be in the squad had they not been so self centred!
Robinson and Carrick, to name 2, would both probably have made this squad easily.
Infact, I think you could probably make a pretty decent XI from players still...
To be honest, what were you really expecting?
You all know that at half time and after the final whistle the cues are long. This was baisically a 8 hour halftime with most people going to one or two areas and the vast majority of people who were there wanting to drink, unlike a matchday. I...
Recent as in the last few tourniments. Thousands of England fans in Germany singing anti German songs about the war and then causing havoc in Holland and Belgium. The zero arrests in SA is probably largly down to the distance and price to get there. I would imagine it was a similar scene in...

While I dont condone anything that was shown, I do think that you could make a similar video in England at certain Football matches.
Obviously the racist element wouldnt be there but at EVERY game this season (certainly the ones Ive been to) there has been homophobic chanting, which is just as...
Only for them to get dashed.

There is also a non-Football thing you will recognise aswell...
I agree with what he is saying but isnt that just letting them win?
What would be better is if everyone just carried on as normal. (very hard to I know)
Sure its all be said but the best things I learnt are:
Praise the bride
Get some childhood stories from family members
Dont take the piss out of him too much, what is funny with your mates down the pub isnt funny to her mum, dad, nan, auntie etc...
DONT drink too much before the speach
When you...
I don't know about anyone else but the more I see, hear and read about England the more I think we have a bright few years coming up.
I don't think we will win the Euros, or even get past the quarters, but I think the noises coming out of the camp are pointing towards Roy being the right man...
