Personally, I can't wait! Edited May 27 by Bully Wee Villa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Great threads, mate. I was about to do the same thing. It cannot start soon enough for me. I knew the three 90s tournaments, even though I was a kid. I didn't go into those tournaments with much hope. Even with Euro 2020, there wasn't just hope. This one is different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The nerves are kicking in. This has more of a feeling of France 98 than it did Euro 2020. Probably because we didn't play a football heavyweigh in Euro 2020. As opposed to France 98 when we had Brazil and Euro 2024 were we have Germany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The only annoying thing about our group is the kick off times. A 2pm or 5pm kick off time would have been perfect for a Friday or Sunday game. All of the games being at 8pm isnβt what I was after. Playing Germany in the opening game is great in terms of the sense of occasion. Will the Germans be slow starters? Canβt see it.Β Β 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less time to party after the game? I think it's better for those who have to work during the day and I like the feel and atmosphere of evening games much more than day games personally. International matches played during the day feel a bit like boozing before lunch, slightly wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytime drinking is the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I love the evening kick offs and spending the whole day building up to it. Daytime games always feel like the filler games before the big one in the evening. Serbia v Switzerland or Cameroon v Australia. That kind of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a tournament opening game, Iβd prefer the kick off to be around 4pm. What time was the kick off for the Scotland v Brazil game at the β98 World Cup? That should be the benchmark. From memory that was an afternoon kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'm pleased for the later kick-offs because temperatures will be lower, and we're not exactly familiar with central European summer temperatures while our opponents all are. My one gripe with the scheduling is that Switzerland and Hungary will already have played a match in those stadiums before we get there, which gives them a little more familiarity.Β 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 I think Friday night for the opener is great, a huge occasion but theΒ a whole weekend of football after it. I'm happy with the evening kick offs for the other two personally as I'll be in Germany so you get the full day build up (which will lead to a few casualties). Afternoon kick offs are for beer gardens in the sun to watch somebody like Czechia or Denmark. Games you're not too bothered about but hopefully they are great games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The cheeky b*****d! We have at least 7 good players - McGinn, McTominay, Robertson, Tierney, Christie, Hickey, Gilmour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
