For me, the only reason the tournaments are bearable are because they make the gap between football seasons go a little quicker.Just ruin two weeks of your life waiting for the league games to return. Hate international football apart from the actual tournaments.

Yeah, I particularly enjoyed 2002 because of the time the games were on. Worked for myself; woke up, watched a game at 7am, then went to the pub and watched another late morning. Really enjoyed that tournament and, like you , I was much better disposed towards England back then.Remember the good old days of the big tournaments when it meant spending best part of 6 weeks in a boozer getting lashed.
And we actually used to believe we had a realistic chance of doing well, most of the time.
