Hectorsdad Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 England win again beating Holland 2-1 in normal time. The final against Spain should be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherbanana Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Surely, the Euro is a currency?đ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Yes, but if you were going to be pedant the title of the thread is Euros plural. From wiki: The euro (plural euros) is the official currency of the European Union. Euros may also refer to Euros (moth) UEFA European Championship, football tournament informally known as the Euros Eurus or Euros, one of the Anemoi (the Greek deities representing wind)  ( I've obviously got too much time on my hands đ )  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Preferred the British GP at the weekend. That was excitingâŠ..for once. It was really entertaining. Well done Lewis. FootballâŠâŠI last about 5 minutes watching it and then end up sticking needles in my eyes for entertainment.

anotherbanana Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Has the word âpedantâ not been banned as discriminatory, particularly against older people, likely to cause confusion with other words beginning with âpedâ, and implying an educated user which is now definitely infra dig. It has been replaced by âduhâ!đ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Now that, my dear menthy one is a pure and proper sport, played only by true sportsmen with proper spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Bringing this back to FranceâŠâŠI do love watching and playing PĂ©tanque. It is up there with the coolest sports in history. Fantastic sport. I really really love it. It is like snooker on gravel. Watching grandpaâs doing their stuff. And the younger generation. It used to be on TVâŠ.not sure it is now. So yeah, I would rather watch a PĂ©tanque match than a load of diving cheating overpaid idiots kicking a ball about. You canât cheat in pĂ©tanque, it is what it is.   Edited July 11 by alittlebitfrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Oh yes you can cheat; make a noise when someone is about to throw, for eg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le martin-pĂȘcheur Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The joke of all this football nonsense is that.............do a quick wage comparison on Google if you like............... between footballers, brain or heart surgeons, doctors, airline pilots, air traffic controllers - the list is endless of all those people who do a lot more than kick a ball around a field, or dare I say it, whack a small green ball across a net to each other for hours on end. Of course Nike do not sponsor surgeons, pilots etc. do they?đ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lehaut Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 If you did not have people who like watching sports with their reasonably paid stars, this woman would not be happy. I think there are more mugs off the field than on it. Denise Coates, CEO of Bet365, paid herself £221 million in 2023. While she is not a FTSE 100 CEO, we have to give a special mention to Coates, who has ranked as the highest-paid Chief Executive in the UK for several years. Coates has now earned £1.4 billion in four years â which is almost equal to the total GDP of the Caribbean island, Antigua and Barbuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
