My mum told me she cheated on her diet this week by having a chippy while watching the Scotland Englabd match also that she was yelling at the TV

astray ay-ay-ay
I happened to be in St. Petersburg when some of the first matches kicked off. When I was only planning my trip, I had zero ideas about the championship taking place at the same time, so, to my astonishment, I found the city jam-packed with local fans and tourists from other countries. Friends and I had to manouvre to make our way through the main street, Nevsky Prospect, wondering if the pandemic was even a thing, lol. When we were in our favourite pub, of course, another match was being broadcast live, so if we had come a tiny bit earlier or a tiny tad later, we wouldn't have missed the opportunity to listen to some good old rock songs from around half of my life ago.
Verdict? I don't care about football as much as it seems

Portugal Vs Germany has been unreal craic to watch
I have no interest whatsoever in football, but I will say the atmosphere in Scotland is pretty electric because the team qualified lmao. Someone I know explained it to me: "we know we're going to lose nearly every match, but we get to PLAY".
Like I have seen A LOT of flags on people's houses and cars. That's a rarity up here. It's nice to see some positivity about

Holy hell that penalty shootout was tense
It's SO exciting here right now: the streets are full of cars honking their horns in that time-honoured football rhythm!
Now England just needs to do the business tomorrow.

So that's what happened, lol. Knowing nothing of football, I happened to see the England/Scotland game, and I laughed at the stereotypical result of a 0-0 tie, and then saw Scotland losing it's collective mind and was thoroughly confused.
Still weird that you can qualify without actually winning, or indeed even scoring

Bummed that I couldn't catch today's matches after a weekend of watching as much as I can.
I don't have a favorite team, but I'm now hoping Switzerland goes all the way.

So... England might face Switzerland at some point??
Hmm, England v Switzerland doesn't look like a very likely final, does it?
Not likely no, however people keep saying this might be the underdog's year, so. Worth a cheer!
Also re: boring, I think the game was pretty good. Not a lot of shots on goal, but there was stuff happening constantly. Doesn't have to be goal opportunities to be exciting/ interesting imo.

Ukraine v Sweden was like an emergency room with the amount of injuries getting treated.
Gutted for the Swedes, thought the red card was unlucky, no malice in the tackle but a rule's a rule says I.
Fair play to Ukraine though, nice to see smaller teams getting through
