The Euros 2024 on IBO including Semi-Finals

[channonite]

So, the core of the IBO coverage of [a href="https://www..net/WorldCupsEuros/euros/euros2024/"]Euro 2024 is up and running here[/a]

I am going to leave this pinned at the top and just have a look around. spot51 has got the ball rolling by penning a short preview of the four countries in Group A, which he will be keeping an eye on.

England could be so good but aren't.

Bellingham is incredible.... best player in the world? I think so

After a concentrated effort this evening, I have managed to get up to date with the various previews and reports that have been submitted so far

Have a browse and a read of the various contributions on the IBO Euro 2024 website here

As usual, I have been entertained by all the different styles and facts, including the fact that the German star of the minute - Musiala - was on the books of Saints Acadamy for a short while. Another one to slip through the net...

Brilliant - the 'beeb' would certainly not do this today!!

Forgot it in my report but that kid Duah who played up front for the Swiss before Embolo came on was another born in London. Amazing how many UK born kids up end up playing for other nations.

I'll need to know what teams I'm reporting on next to get my research started...

Just a memory jog about IBO’s coverage of the Euros.

We have almost completed the reports for the Last Sixteen (Yes, my match is one of the two missing ones. ), and we are now at the sharp end of the competition.

So go on, have a look!

I need to pull my finger out too but I’m not well at the moment.

The first two of the Quarter Finals are up on the IBO site now, with the fourth one just about ready to go. Hopefully, the England match report will follow along shortly after

Just read the other 3 reports. Love it when you get different people with individual ways of reporting. Great reads!

I agree. It's been a pleasure reading all the reports.

[channonite]

All four quarter-final reports are now up on the IBO website here

Two things struck me: firstly, how many of the substitutes were booked, some not even managing to get on the pitch! The other thing was that only one player on each side was booked in the England v Switzerland match. Not sure what, if anything, that proves!

[channonite]

So, the two Semi-Finals are now up on the IBO Euro 24 site here, with reports from OneBeat on the Spain v France game and jickster on the Netherlands v England.

Surprisingly, neither match required Extra Time or penalties. This was a refreshing change from the dread of penalty shootouts that have come to seem the norm.

Both reports told me things that I had missed, even though I watched both games from beginning to end. Two cracking reports and completely different to each other in style.

Thanks guys!
