Football forever

[Smoz]

I don't normally take a huge amount of interest in international tournaments, I normally prefer club football (specifically Crystal Palace), but I'm looking forward to Euro 2016. I noticed that I have some time off work which coincides with the latter stages of the tournament and thinking that most of France is easy to get to by train or cheap flight from London I decided to go into the draw for tickets. I managed to get tickets for two of the quarter finals and both the semis.

Very tough draw for Ireland (Belgium, Italy, Sweden)

And all the best for Wales to beat the english

Well I knew it was going to happen, maybe its time for another fluke to match the rugby World Cup! Well we live in hope here in the Valleys.
By the way Smoz Welsh goalie Hennessay played a stormer for Palace last week.

Now we need some holding to account. Both for the unlawful actions on the day and for the subsequent cover-up.

Fantastic achievement

Well done Leicester a lovely story which will go down in sporting history. Also rather pleased that Swansea got a nice win over the weekend, it guarantees Premiership football in West Wales next season, now maybe Leicester's example can be followed by the rest of us in the lower end of the league next year. Well we can dream! ps what odds would I have on Wales winning Euro 2016...??? another fairy-tale? Who knows. LOL
