European Championship 2016
The 2016 UEFA European Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2016 or simply Euro 2016, will be the 15th edition of the tournament. It is scheduled to be held in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016.
Spain are two-time defending champions.
For the first time, the European Championship final tournament will be contested by 24 teams, having been expanded from the 16-team format used since 1996.
France was chosen as the host nation. The matches will be played in ten stadia in ten cities: Bordeaux, Lens, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Paris, Saint-Denis, Saint-Γtienne, and Toulouse. It will be the third time that France hosts the tournament, after the inaugural tournament in 1960 and the 1984 finals. The French team have won the European Championship twice: in 1984 and 2000.

Re: European Championship 2016
I think france will win it, they have a very good team and to be honest the french are just crazy in general, I think all the trouble that has happened in paris and now belgium will activate their good kind of mad french circuits and they will pull it off.

Thanks for this. If not for you I wouldn't have known about this tournament
Re: European Championship 2016
You are welcome. I did not want you to miss it with your busy schedule trainspotting.
I started the thread after the brilliant victory against Germany. Undefeated in the group stages and beating the world champions shows that we can go far this time. More than any other time.
We are going to find a way. Find a way to get a way to get right.

I prefer "3 Lions". Lyrics included "30 years of hurt" . That could be re-released now as "50 years of hurt!!" ππππ
It's not even April and the false hope has started. Smh.
Who you got Italy?

Obviously I'd love us to win, it's a big ask, but do-able. Better chance than England though. I'll be going over for at least one of the games.
But if you put a gun to my head, I would say France followed by Germany.
Don't be fooled by the other night. If there was a "friendly World Cup", England would win it every time.

We are rubbish and have no chance. :(

unless they play the netherlands in the final :S
Amazing that the dutch didn't make it to euro 2016.
Re: European Championship 2016
Over the years all expectation has been drilled out of me.
We are capable of getting to the semis after which anything can happen but we're capable of going out at the group stages just the same - whatever happens I bet we need a win n our final group game. We always do
Re: European Championship 2016
Actually just checked the format of the competition - the four best third place teams go through even.
Even we'll get through that group !

4-1 against German, I would be embarrassed.

Yep, it was awful. But they'll be better at the tournament . At least half of that side won't start in France. Just to put it in perspective, that is the first time Germany have beaten us in 21 years, and they have NEVER Beaten us in a competitive game.
