Euro 2008 : Who will you support?
Posted by Martin in Arsenal, Czech Republic, EURO 2008, England, Switzerland | 4 June 2008
It’s now only a matter of days before the Euro’s kick-off in Basel, with Switzerland playing the Czech Republic. Yet the good old BEEB continually poses that question, in the hope that us Brits spend the whole of June glued to the T.V watching the tournament un-fold, where as a nation, we have no home interest!
So, over the past few days I been mulling over in my mind who I might support. However, what I keep getting drawn back to, is whether in reality it's possible to support a second team, when your own team is missing from the tournament. Had one of the home nations made it through, then I'd be backing one of them, but support them with the same passion as I'd support England? I don't think so.
For me it's a bit like being asked to support a team that's still in the FA Cup, when my own team, Arsenal, have been knocked out. I just wouldn't do it, it wouldn't enter my head to consider it, and so the same is true of the Euro's.
Had I parents that we're of differing nationalities, then that's a different situation, but that's not me.
So, I'm just going to sit back, enjoy watching some of the football, and when it gets to the final, I'll make my choice as to which team I'd prefer to see win!
If you’re supporting or backing a team and you fancy writing your views here, then feel free to get in touch.
