Got a night in Lyon. Then heading down to Cassis and travelling for the day to Marseille for the England game.

[Para Handy]

Also in Lyon but for a week.

Got Ukraine v Northern Ireland

and

Romania v Albania

Tried for Croatia v the Czech Republic in St Denis whilst we are there but the UEFA Ticket site seems to be a shambles.

[Pepe the Horseman]

I've got Slovakia v Russia. Eurostar home leaves just as England v Wales kicks off.

Just a heads up that there are transport strikes planned in France for 26th May and 14th June. These are national strikes and cover the whole country.

Looking into that, it appears they want to strike every Wednesday and Thursday until further notice.

It sounds like it's not a total shutdown, but services will be heavily reduced.

I am planning to be in France beginning of July so am keeping an eye on the situation.
There was a 2 day strike this week which affected all transport. The French government have asked the unions not to strike during the Euros but doubt they will take any notice.

More worrying from there is that the one on the 14th isn't just a rail strike. It's planned as a full on general strike of pretty much every public sector worker in the country.

There's a similar one being held on Thursday, so we'll need to see the impact of that.

I'd guess most will just stay in Lille, which is just 45 minutes away by train, and take the train over nearer kick-off.

Hmm...perhaps Slovakia aren't going to be the group whipping boys that everyone is assuming. Currently beating Germany 2-1, in Germany. In truth, Germany dominated and Slovakia hit two late goals out of the blue, but I can see them shocking Wales, and us probably putting Wales out.

Only HT, and the 2nd half delayed due to a thunderstorm, and the pitch is looking a bit soggy now, to put it mildly.


Game restarted after an hour long half time, and now 3-1 to Slovakia. The German keeper not having a good night. Let a header through his hands for the 2nd, and has now just "done a Federici" and let a shot squirm through his legs for the third.

A lot of tickets currently up for sale. No England games, but 16 other group games up.

Lens Council rubbished the British media reports a couple of weeks back saying the only change is that they have banned drinking out on the streets. Booze will still be sold in the fanzone as well as pubs, cafe's etc but those places have been asked to take away any outdoor serving on match days.

Officially cannot wait. I remember how awesome the forum was during WC14 I hope we can top it now!
