Euro 2016

Germany leading one - nil - but Ukraine certainly look like a team that might unsettle the Germans and nick one

They'll ban all beer sales near the grounds. This should help sell more of their French wine.

BUT IT IS STILL ALCOHOL!!

Germany may be 1-0 up but Ukraine still look like they can turn the game around.

Just reading that apparently the tournament organisers were advising english fans to do their pre-game drinking on tuesday thursday ( ) in Lille, because of the drinks ban in Lens. Only problem with that is that Russia play their next game in Lille on wednesday!
Shows how clueless the organisers are about organised footie violence.


A couple of good articles by Ian Herbert in The Independant regarding the violence in and around the stadium, here's a link to one :

Do the organisers want a football tournament or do they really want to run a sideshow competition called the 2016 football hooligan European Championship where the champions are the hooligans who win the most fights ands cause the most damage?
Looks like it will be Russia V England round 2 then!! and we all know what will happen if that happens!!

Ukraine certainly seem to be matching them at the moment...

I thought the ban was just to stop them getting cheap booze from the super markets. The impression I got was that they could still go to pubs and resteraunts if they were willing to pay 8 euros each for less than a pint.

Ukraine can certainly be pleased with their performance against the world champions tonight, they might have lost only 1-0, but they certainly have made Germany work hard for that win
