Online sticker book collection update. MY album is 37% complete and has been boosted by the realisation that I can get more free packs each day if I scan in Coca-Cola labels; and I've discovered this can be done via google searching images of said products. Yes, middle-aged man, searching the internet for coke labels, getting a separate device and scanning the labels displayed on the screen of the first, then getting virtual stickers and sticking them into a virtual book. There we go, I said it.
Tonight I have overcompensated for missing games last week. I was sat down in time for the 5pm kickoff - frantically searching the BBC and ITV channels for the match, to no avail - on;y to realise the 8pm KOs are the only games today. Now that's a flat feeling. So here I am, beer in hand, updating the blog instead.
The tournament continues to be gathering pace. I watched Russia vs Denmark last night and it was bonkers. Beer was flying EVERYWHERE as the Danes turned in a really spirited performance and catapulted past the hapless Russia and the inert Finland. In the process of doing so, they guaranteed England's passage to the last 16, which is some relief. Maybe the fact we are through will give Southgate license to actually try out Grealish properly; and then the clamour for him to retain his place will be un-ignorably strong, he will stay in the team and we will romp to glory.
Belgium continue to look capable, even in second gear also. The game of choice tonight really should be Scotland vs Croatia, with both teams needing a win to progress, and anything less not being enough. Multi-screen will definitely be out in full effect! Unfortunately for the Scots - I think Croatia will pull through.
All good fun. The group stages will complete tomorrow night and then a 2 day break before the real business of the last 16 begins. Certainly I think we will reap the benefit of the new tournament format once we get that extra round of pure knockout - the absolute best bit.
