So what will you be watching?
Potentially an excellent game tonight, Italy a good attacking side now, and Turkey as the dark horses with some very good players.With the group games kicking off at 8pm, 11pm and 2am (my time), I shall be picking and choosing.....will try and make the 2.00am England games but other than those, not much interest in killing myself for Italy v Turkey for example.
I went on a Punt in Cambridge last weekEvery game with little punts on.
I've met a few punts in Cambridge.I went on a Punt in Cambridge last week

When didn't it make political statements?Whilst football continues to make political statements it becomes unwatchable. Have actually saved a fortune since the knee nonsense started with no sky sports or any kind of football purchases. There’s actually a life to be had instead of watching egotistical pansies chasing a ball on a patch of grass!
You must have really been interested in football if players kneeling down for 5 seconds before the game has ruined the whole experience.Whilst football continues to make political statements it becomes unwatchable.

You've certainly done your research One. As you say, winning the group means a tie against the runners-up in the group of death. Then again, who tries to support a team to come third!?If England win Group D...
Tuesday, June 29 - vs Group F runners-up (Portugal, France, Germany, Hungary); kick-off 5pm (London)
If England finish second in Group D...
Monday, June 28 - vs Group E runners-up (Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia); kick-off 5pm (Copenhagen)
If England finish as one of four best third-place teams...
One of:
Sunday, June 27 - vs Group C winners (Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia); kick-off 5pm (Budapest)
Sunday, June 27 - vs Group B winners (Denmark, Finland, Belgium and Russia); kick-off 8pm (Seville)
Tuesday, June 29: vs Group E winners (Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia); kick-off 8pm (Glasgow)
If England win the group I think we will go out in next round.
If we qualify without winning we may go all the way, but my money is on France.

Completely emphathise with this. A combination of knee taking and VAR has put me right off.Whilst football continues to make political statements it becomes unwatchable.

I think most England fans just want to see performances that indicate that the players have met each other before with a bit of attacking flair thrown in.Watching the home games: Wales & Scotland trying their best and (hopefully) getting to the last 16. England fans expecting nothing but a championship win, followed by an angst-filled review of why they didn't...again.

And yes I was really interested in it before, just hate what it’s trying to become
Every country is a political entity. That is not the point. The point is to enjoy the football (I agree your VAR point) and hope that your team wins. Politics will always be in sport whilst it's a competition between nations.Completely emphathise with this. A combination of knee taking and VAR has put me right off.

Nothing wrong with me pal, I’m allowed a view. I don’t want to go to a sporting event, and before a ball has been kicked I’m having someone else’s political agenda rammed down my throat. Does it happen at the cinema, the supermarket, a music gig? Course not.I think this is utterly pathetic, to be honest. What's wrong with you?
