Think the format doesn't help. 24 teams down to just 16 means avoiding a heavy defeat gives you a chance of finishing third and qualifying in the group if you manage 3 points. Turkey looked happy to lose 1-0, and get their win in the next couple of games.


You say 4 third placed team qualifying is an easy route to the knock-out stage, but have you seen the format for this years Copa America?

2 groups of 5. Top 4 in both groups qualify for the Quarter-Finals. 20 groups matches to eliminate 2 teams.

I think the Euros should be expanded to 32 teams (8 groups of 4 with the top 2 qualifying for the Round of 16).

Would only involve 12 additional matches. I think there’s enough quality in European football now that it wouldn’t adversely dilute the quality.

Oh and Italy should host Euro 2028. Nessum
Dorma had me reminiscing about watching Italia ‘90 as a 9-year-old and falling even more in love with football than I already had by that point.

Would give Italy a chance and a reason to rebuild all their shitty old crumbling stadiums too.

Yes I saw the opening sequence as well. Very moving . Bono and Andrea Bocelli performance were quality. By the way you remember this . Official  song of the Italia 1990 world cup. Really like this one  .

You don’t get starting credits to TV coverage of football tournaments like this anymore…

That's beautiful and also the  ITV one. Haven't heard that one in ages. Thanks for the share. I miss Desmond  Lynam though. For me a very good presenter. Suave and professional . Interesting to note as well if your not aware that  Luciano Pavarotti and Nessun Dorma  helped increase the like for opera music at the time. Similarly  I know the BBC have often used classical music for the opening football tournaments before  eg Euro 1996 and world cup 1998. I think Desmond Lynam summed it up as well:

"Classical music reflects the beautiful game .It captures both the glories and disappointments from the winning goal in the 90th minute to the missed penalty".


One life,one love .

I don’t think (being English) you can reminisce too much about USA ‘94 given that we were only represented there by half the Ireland squad, but both BBC & ITV had memorable starting credits…

Fantastic. You don’t get starting credits that build you up for the match as soon as they start anymore.

I don’t recall any post-1998. I have vague memories that BBC’s 2002 one was decent but I can remember all 6 from 1990, 1994 and 1998 vividly.

Turkey are a very good side. As good as their 2002 if not better. Could get very far in the competition.


That got old quickly.
