European Championship

Post by Gullscorer »

England currently lead their group by a wide margin and Wayne Rooney says other nations should be frightened of the team. That means we're going to walk away with the trophy, right? Ha ha...

Wales are away to Israel today in their group, and are in with a good chance. But what the hell is Israel, a middle eastern country, doing in a European tournament? For that matter, why are they always in the Eurovision song contest? OK, we know it's all to do with politics, and politics has a way of poking its nose into everything.

But if Israel always finds it awkward to play against their neighbours in middle eastern tournaments, so what? That has nothing to do with football and everything to do with politics. If Israel were required to play in the middle east rather than in Europe, perhaps its politicians might give a little more thought, and make a little more effort, towards resolving their political conflicts there..
