Why's this in the UK forum?

DeTaipa · October 30th, 2008, 03:05 PM

Because british people love football (like portuguese)...

Euro 96 was better.

DeTaipa · October 31st, 2008, 02:12 PM

In your opinion... by UEFA not... but euro96 was great also

Euro 96 has been the best championships so far, in 2004 the games were dissapointing and never lived up to expectations although the stadiums were quite nice. Can't imagine UEFA praising England for anything, so it's no suprise they didn't (rightly) name 96 the best so far. I thought Euro 2008 was better than '04, games are what make the championships and there were a lot of great games.

Anyway this shouldn't be on this section of the forum, can admin delete please?

The games were dissapointing why? And I never went to the expectations why? Explain yourself.

Euro2008 had some superb matches. I can barely remember any from Euro2004, apart from the England ones.

I went over there Euro 2004 was absolutely brilliant. Beautiful cities and stadiums, lovely weather and a really nice and well-organised tournament.

Definately the best european championship I've been to.
