With Euro 2016 now just days rather than weeks away, it’s fair to say excitement is at a tepid level. Maybe that’s just me having witnessed England’s less than convincing recent displays, but this is the biggest Euros ever!
CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER : CAN CM01/02 END FIFTY YEARS OF HURT?
So, who’s excited for Euro 2016? As the tournament is expanded to 24 teams we’ve essentially got a mini-World Cup on our hands, with rare tournament appearances for the likes of Wales, Northern Ireland and Albania, there’s the added underdog ingredient to add making it a fairly unique tournament.
