Not sure if football is allowed off the Football Focus thread but so what


I'm looking forward to this a lot without the emotional involvement of England. I think there maybe some great betting opportunities too. Any thoughts picks? At the moment I have to (reluctantly) go for Germany given their group, proximity to home and Ballacks form.

Did you see quids, that west ham had the highest Englishness in the Permiership this season (average 6.6 players per game), whilst Arsenal were lowest averaging just 0.3.


Just an aside.


I hope so too Sean.

My sympathy also goes with Croatia who are a decent dark horse punt I reckon, difficult to breakdown and beaten a lot of big teams, Argentina, England....


My suspicion is the ever dependable Germans however.

I never actually enjoy England's games as such (well, not since we twatted the Dutch 4-1), so I can actually sit back, relax and enjoy good football this time round.

I fully support Spain, but for some reason I don't get quite the same knotted tension as watching England, despite their Englandlike ability to get themselves stupidly knocked out of tournaments.

I won't have the stress and strain of watching another damp squib performance by England and the bunch of overrated under-performing timewasters who play for them.


I won't have to endure another round of Wag photos and gossip splashed all over the tabloids.


I won't have to sit through the total saturation on telly by advertisers who jump on the bandwagon of Team England.


I won't have to squirm whilst watching all the yobs and louts, who travel to these tournaments supporting England, kicking off in some otherwise tranquil European town centre.


I won't have to put up with all the chavs and divs wearing their replica England shirts and spouting their uninformed xenophobic rubbish in every pub the length and breadth of the country.


I can't wait for the tournament to start!

I agree about enjoying it without the potential of embarrassment from England on a few fronts - I really enjoyed USA 1994 for the same reason.


For those interested, current Betfair prices to win


Germany 5.2

Spain 7

Italy 8.2

Holland 8.8

France 10

Portugal 14.5

Croatia 16


Money on France, Germany and Italy looks like a decent shout (although France and Italy are in the same group)

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
