Don't know about anyone else but the euros are so disappointing and sad to see how teams are now just defend for a score.

There is a lack of world class players.

Watching Portugal and Croatia play for 105 minutes without a shot on goal is really painful. On paper there are both classy teams but the set ups are so defensive minded.

Dull as dishwater. Wales and NI was almost as bad. It's a dull tournament that requires far too much dull football against mediocre opposition for two years of group stages just to get into it. They need to rethink the whole thing. How I don't know. If my wife asked me to go shopping for kitchenware I'd probably jump at the opportunity. (Note: I'm safe there, because I do all the cooking)

It was awful, which player has looked at the level of a zidane?
Italy ireland match was a good game but not due to the standard of players . Brady played well tho.

If you want to put people off football I'm not sure which would be worse, a DVD of our past 3 seasons or one of these Championships.
The most annoying thing is that football is getting so boring at the top level and it really doesn't need to be. Maybe time to rethink the points system, something that drastic needs to happen (3 goals or more = bonus point) . In knock-out stages, if 0-0 after extra time the winner on pens starts the next game -1 goal. Anything to get teams attacking again rather than the footballing equivalent of Scrooge McDuck!
Too much money and attention in the game, the safest bet is to try and hold what you have. It's like the Cold War at the minute.

I blame all the frankly ridiculous money in the game these days. It has taken the fun out of football because nobody is willing to take a chance for fear of making a mistake. The coaches are thinking of their cvs the players are thinking about the next club or contract plus with the advent of social media you cannot live down a mistake as quickly as before.
