Euro 2024 is the worst quality Euros or World Cup in my lifetime

All the big teams except Spain & Germany have been unwatchable

Where’s the superstars, attackers, dribblers, patterns of play?

Football has declined massively last 20 years

Players (robots) are fitter, that’s it

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@DaleBMusic Summed his performance up unfortunately.

New era for the sports industry

It's time for folks to really start looking at how spatial computing will change sports for ever.

What used to cost millions and take weeks, can now happen in real-time and cost close to nothing.

@BenQualtrough @jonerfootball It's part of the exercise. Scanning for defenders as she's receiving the ball

@mark_oc @Plugsurfing We've just had exactly the same issue. 79p/kWh is already too much via @MotorFuelGroup and using this card we got charged £1.04/kWh.

What's the point of it?

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@KonceptKitz @BBC Yeah, it's so boring. Getting way too excited over things that weren't even that good.

And it's still going now!

@nattychick27 @AskPlayStation @PlayStation I'm going through the exact same thing. Did you get anywhere with it? It's so so bad

[Ryan Draper @hippacrocapig19]

Son just asked can he have @EASPORTSFIFA FIFA 23.

I said sure £40 enough?

No dad, it's on discount £80 if you sign up to EA Play.

£83.49 in total.

Every year, it's getting beyond a joke. Why so expensive

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@AldiUK And there would still only be 1 checkout open, with 8 people waiting and no self service tills.

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@DaleBMusic Juventus?

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@AliAbdaal first choice would be based on number 40 - "Time Flies:" etc because it works in multiple ways, but the first one is good too.

Yes. Read these with my eldest. Will read these with my youngest when he's ready.

Possibly a bit too "American" for some Brits (generalising of course), but get over it - great set of books. https://t.co/jJ74YRK6lh

Sebastian Vettel does not believe Germany can be considered the favourites against England when the old rivals face each other in the last 16 of Euro 2020.

[KonceptKitz @KonceptKitz]

Wanted to warm up for the match today in style, so we've gone for an abstract England long-sleeve GK shirt, inspired by shirt worn by @thedavidseaman at Euro96. It's colourful, if nothing else! #ENG #ENGGER #ComeOnEngland

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@KonceptKitz they should have given you a call I think. https://t.co/Rwspk877fW

@YourSSE Hi Nathan, I persisted and was able to talk to the most helpful person (sorry didn't catch her name) and she sorted everything for me.

[Martin Smithson @MSmithson87]

@YourSSE been on the phone to one of your team and they went away to do some quick calcs but haven't come back. Still on hold 20-mins later - have they gone to lunch or something?
