THIS IS THE EUROZZZZZZ

Oversized tournament a bore

UEFA didn't hold back on the eve of Euro 2024.

Struggling to contain themselves, European football's governing body said it was "impossible not to feel the enthusiasm and excitement that such a spectacular football festival brings."

But the tournament has been about as thrilling as a harvest festival. Even the German fans are reluctant to be jovial, let alone throw their pints in the air.

For weeks on end drab games have taken place, with some affronts to football.

England have made a huge contribution to the cause, it has to be said. Four games and four performances like something from the dark ages.
