The bomb shelter thread.

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Yes, the wackiness levels will be cranked right up to 11 during the Euros.

Prepare to hunker down and man the sniper turrets to take down any stray drunkard replete with St George's flag face paint (singing three lions, of course) who makes it through the shelter minefield perimeter.

And don't even mention the inflatable windmills, clogs, cheeses and whatever else those clowns carry with them, or wear on their heads.

I used to love international tournaments but rarely pay any attention now. So many teams full of unlikeable characters.

Hope Scotland pump England and make cocaine bloaters in beer gardens cry and get angry and smash small town centres.

I might be alone in noticing this, but did anyone else see during the CL final yesterday a shot of distraught female Man City fan who, realising she was on camera, perked up instantly and waved?

I forgot TV companies do this, especially for larger tournaments. Make it stop, shelter, make it stop.

They should concentrate on seeking out attractive women in the crowd with nice chests.

Euro 96 was the last one I got excited about.

That was a magical tournament, turbo boosted by the fact that it ran with the relaxation of the licensing laws.

The city centre was just one big party every time Ingerland played.

I have a love (more don't really mind)- hate relationship with the National team. For this tournament is definitely the latter. As you say, far too many unlikely characters in Wijnaldum, Depay, Promes, the coach and VvD (in spirit at least). Can't bring myself to support them. Hope the orange madness ends with the group stages.

They do that for the first seventy minutes of a match.

Then cut to nervous fans of team that is leading, one will grab the arm of the other and point to the in stadium big screen, but director moves on before they can wave properly.

Find attractive or blonde female fan looking pensive, solo shot, wait for them to notice camera and instantly forget score and wave moronically at camera.

Cut back to player still laying on the floor while referee attempts awkward first date style small talk with favourite player.

Overhead blimp shot of stadium.

Do you work for ITV?

I started following England since moving 1000 miles from its national newspapers. Prior to emigrating I actively wanted the England team to lose, preferably to a well drilled, plucky and patronised Scandinavian side.

Following the Czech team is incredible though, because it's like an end of season tv special when they bring back more popular characters who went on to do different things. "Is that Patrik Schick? Where is he playing now? Oooh, Tomas Pekhart, he's still alive?"

It's the only fun part about the entire experience.

Not yet. Hoping someone from there spots this.

I love a lingering slow motion replay of star player reacting to his side conceding though. Ronaldo is the obvious choice, but don't discount de Bruyne in this category.

 

[Terrarian]

I am not as invested in international football now, the so called golden generation and putting their club rivalries first did it for me but I think England have some exciting young players now, so whilst I won't be donning the shirt and flag and face paint, I'll probably be watching hoping we smash the Scottish.

Move over England, you're not the kopites of Europe anymore.

Code C. Code C. Potential news that Carlo may be off. Even the Carlo haters will be heading towards a melt down.
