We get used to see those nice games from the Euro cup . This day of rest seems strange, we get home from work and there's no football . I will have to play poker or see a movie or perhaps go out and get drunk . What will you do tonight ?

Yeah, this is weird... weeks with 1-2 daily games, and now... nothing! Luckily there's no need to get social just yet, there are still 3 games left before it's time to get back to human interaction.

Well, the football ended for me last night, It's not the same when watching two teams play without actually caring who will win, though mob betting might have made it a little more exciting.
Regardless, I'm no way near a TV for the final, so even if we made it I had no way to watch, kayaking and camping in no mans land when its played, though if we did, i'm sure we would have found a pub.

I agree with B1gFoot..... the tourney has now taken on a totally different perspective...to the point that I got my wife to predict the mob score games cos I couldnt be bothered now the all mighty world conquering, Empire Building, English are out!

It's great to see you all take your sports so serious. It's weird to sense your feelings by reading your posts. I guess we (Americans) don't acknowledge how much you all endear and the phenomenom of futball to all of you is as it is for football to us here in America, although they are two different types. It's great to understand this and I know how you feel when it's over. It's just like I feel when our last game of the year is over (The Superbowl for us). Cheers to you all

Nope.
Then is the start of the Tour de France, and after that we have the Olympics. Life is good.

And Wimbledon . Thank God we always have good sport moments during the year . Nevertheless, today we have another day without football . I'm going to play basketball with some friends to fill the time, but we are so lucky that we have almost 40 degrees today. tomorrow everything will change, and when we (PORTUGAL) defeat Spain, there will be party all night long.

Not even kidding, I've managed to watch all the games so far bar one - my girlfriend has gone demented...
I don't know what has been happening in the world..
