One of the best things about the European Football Championship, which began on Saturday in Austria and Switzerland, is that none of the home nations are in it. I thought initally that I wouldn’t be interested in the games. Surprisingly, I was wrong.
Yesterday, after I finished work, I managed to rush home to catch the last moments of Germany versus Poland on TV. It’s great that one can watch a game and actually enjoy it. It’s great that the local police don’t have to worry about the presence of the English team and fans ruining the tournament. It’s great that TV commentators have to be objective and to concentrate more on the other teams, rather than just mention England all the bloody time. It’s great that the pubs remained mostly peaceful, even on a warm, Summer weekend.
Long may it last.
