No free-kick goals in the Euros; Konsa finds the funny side of Gordon’s bike injury
With election day looming in Britain, did Euro 2024 take a back seat during Wednesday’s TV debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, especially when England weren’t even playing that night? Well, the peak audience for the debate on the BBC was three million ... compared to 6.4m for Georgia v Portugal on ITV.
This disinterest appears to be mirrored in the England camp over in Germany. While not wanting to seem, cough, presumptuous, the English FA offered its players guidance on voting by proxy or by post in next Thursday’s election, but: “Politics talk? Eh ... none at all.

“The French are much more chauvinistic than we are,” Youro Casier told Politico. “We know from experience that after a French victory they like to provoke ‘les petits Belges’ and tease them with their cars,” he said, recalling, with no little pain, that 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat. “They come driving around here, honking and getting out to dance in the streets. We want to avoid triggering people in to doing stupid things.
The bridge will, then, be blocked with concrete slabs from kick-off time on Monday to six the following morning, although pedestrians and cyclists will still be allowed use it. But, Casier warned, “they cannot honk”.“I’m happy that the Mbappé soap opera is over because we lived it every week.
