Anyone know why the group matches are scattered all across France rather than in one base per group? England's group matches are in Lens, St Etienne and Toulouse, so hundreds of miles apart.

A mighty fine question Kingstonian, I am going (with Wales not England) and just for the three group games it is circa 2.5k of miles, down to Bordeaux, back up to Lens and then back down to Toulouse.

I don't think the French have quite got the hang of geographical grouping or maybe the motorways are struggling and need an injection of people's toll money and speeding fines.

Well the next European Championships are spread across the entire continent so they are just getting you ready for that.

A very good point, I think i'll do a Giggs and retire from international football after this tournament!

Oh lighten up for goodness sake.

Was merely a semi humorous comment over that still of their expressions; after the refreshing attacking display of the 2nd half Woy's reported desire to include Wilshere in squad if at all possible, and Capn Wayne's place by 'right' rather than form look increasingly odd.

Defence looked distinctly average; Woy has viable options in attack but Smalling in partic played at times like a poor Sunday leaguer.

Let's hope Woy continues to test new and better formations vs the Dutch, rather than reverting to the predictable names.

I've been trying to lighten up since February and I'm still bouncing around the same weight despite 10 hours a week on my bike!

:shock:
