Morning Scummers
Enjoyed last night - Andrea Bocelli can come sing Nessun Dorma for me any time he wants. Italy look a proper team and not having to accommodate a superstar seems to be working for them at last. Great energy, great movement and Turkey are decent - not that they were allowed to be yesterday.
Today's fixture should be much closer. Switzerland are a few places higher than Wales in the FIFA rankings but lack a Gareth Bale which is a big trump card in Wales' hand. It will be balls-achingly hot in Azerbaijan and fitness will be an issue. At full strength Wales have some canny older players who can help their nippers through this. Always have a soft spot for Switzerland who are, like Italy, a decent team and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. In my mind Gareth remains an Honary Scummer so I'm hoping he can display the form he found for the NLY in the past couple of months.
Out early today again.

Early start today.
Dog walked for an hour, just heading to the beach to set up pre season. Double session today, 2 hours on the beach lunch then 2 hours of ballwork this afternoon.
Was very impressed with Italy last night. Such a high intensity and workrate, Bonucci and Chiellini bossing it at the back with a combined age of 70.

Morning
Feeling positive about things again for the first time in ages, which is ironic as the pandemic seems to have taken a sudden swerve upwards. Still, having had zero enthusiasm for the Euros up until now, suddenly I am full of optimism and looking forward to following it all. I have a website to bash into shape as well...
The sun is shining, it's boiling hot already and I have grass to cut next. The dog stayed with us overnight and he is not impressed with the heat and is staying indoors in the coolest part of the house.

Hopefully that they started resuscitation very quickly is positive, but survival rates of our of hospital cardiac arrest (if that is what it was, I've not actually seen it happen, but the collapse seems to tie in with my experience, so I'm told) are around 10%. |

Danish FA tweeted that he is awake in Hospital and undergoing "tests". |
