I have tickets to 3 group games (Marseille, Lyon and Lille) and the semifinal in Marseille...yet to sort anything else out.

Might need to sell a kidney or something over the next few months to finance this.

 

[GDeep™]

Think this might be a poor tournament in terms of quality.

Would love to attend a tournament but I'm lazy and picky about which countries I'm willing to visit.

 

[SuperGoon]

Good chance England get either the Republic, North or Wales.

Here's hoping.

 

[GDeep™]

England are ****.

I would employ Brendan Rodgers in the summer after the Championships.

 

[GDeep™]

Listening to Auclair, sounds unlikely Benzema will feature for France.

Keep me posted on the kidney.......

 

[GDeep™]

India do cheap kidneys.

He won't. He's been indefinitely suspended until he faces the charge and is acquitted.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Really hope Kos' has a huge tournament for France - about time he gets some global recognition.

 

[haha_arsenal]

I live 1 hour from Lyon and I couldn't get a ticket

 

[albakos]

Not really. I hope he doesn't because Real will be circling around with a bid and this will distract Koscielny from getting prepared to play with us on Community Shield and European Super Cup in August 2016.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Would be happy with England, Hungary and Northern Ireland.

That aside, I think we'll have a good chance to progress, regardless of the opposition.

 

[Charity10k]

My ideal group is England, Italy, Poland, Rep. of Ireland.

We won't win the tournament and that would be the group that will add the most spice for an Irish fan.

[BBF]

Wales and England in the same group

 

[A_G]

England and Wales

Rex will love that.

 

[GDeep™]

Where you at Rex?

Going to get what you wanted, Lions v Sheep showdown.

 

[Furious]

France again for us, beat them home and drew away in the two friendlies we had with them. Routine win.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Pot 2 now.....
