It was more to do with us never qualifying and me pretending I hate them. I take your point though, but we have the novelty of not having our arse handed to us in one since 98.Euros always used to be miles better, 8 of the best teams in europe where as the world

Used to get so exited by world cups and Olympics and now can't be arsed with either. My first world cup was 82 and it was brilliant but they have become tedious and this one will be the worst.
Dull group, dull manager, dull football, held at the wrong time in a country that shouldn't be hosting it.

Yeah, I used to watch every fuckin' ball of a test match, and every ball batted over a net at Wimbers, but there's so much razzamatazz, hullabaloo, pre- and post-match that they have become the perfect recipe for pissing people off. And the canutes who do the presenting? Jeeeeeesuuuuuuuuuuuus preserve us! I switched on two mins before kick off for the Norway game last night, knowing that the programme had started probably 48hours earlier, and there was Yappy Yorath doing he Milan catwalk impersonation, and dressed up like a dog's dinner, that every self-respecting dog would turn up its nose! Aided and abetted by a gaggle of ex-pros who are desperate for a media gig!Used to get so exited by world cups and Olympics and now can't be arsed with either.

Who's going to lift the cup?
Emerging talents?
Side most underrated by bookies?
Will England finally lift the trophy?
How far will Italy go?
Injuries/upsets?
England to win it.
Cole Palmer!
Germany
Yes!
Not further than Italy.
Will be a few surprises with it coming mid-season I'm sure. The biggest will be that England look fit.

Sport is an afterthought now, sporting occasions are like outings for people who want to say they've been there and many don't even care about what they are watching.
Take the London Olympics, people were bidding on tickets for events they didn't even know they were bidding for, they were in effect bidding for an Olympic ticket so they could Instagram or poke it on Facebook.
I don't even believe I am being cynical when I say that this Womens Euro thing will slump back to mediocre WSL attendances because the attended wanted to go to the particular event rather than support the sport in general.
