EURO 2024

[Duque de Bragança]

Less than a month now!
So, as an appetiser, the location of the base camps for each squad. Most countries bordering Germany seem to stay away from their border, except for the Swiss in Stuttgart:



So no Denmark in Flensborg Flensburg but Czechs up North in Norderstedt, and so on.

Not to mention Austria not in outer Bavaria, but deep in Piefkeland, in Berlin! No less.

Please avoid using the word "camps".

[Josquius]

It totally doesn't feel like this is happening. Not much fuss to be felt about it at all.
I suppose covid is heavily to blame with it feeling like we've had a world/euro cup every year lately.

England has a good strategic position there. Sole ownership of one province. Another unclaimed to the east. hmm.

[Duque de Bragança]

Please avoid using the word "camps".

Only to be used with concentration or extermination? 
If it triggers you, I may use Lager. Not just during the games. 

[Duque de Bragança]

Eastern Länder (old GDR) do not seem popular for some reason.
Saarland not having any base camp as well, but I don't think it's for the same reasons.

My first thought was they made sure to isolate the English. 

Nice to have 3 countries to cheer for. Except any Hungarian success will be very bittersweet. Football is Orban's pet project plus the stadium-going fanbase have become very fascistoid in the last several years with the uniform black t-shirts and whatnot, they are going to sour the whole thing.

P.S. Hungary should have been put to Augsburg.

More into bear(s) as the animal lover you are?

Norderstedt 

[Duque de Bragança]

Norderstedt 

Kontext, bitte!

You're from Holstein, so local grudges and/or knowledge certainly play a part but we demand need details. 
Not just that it would have been better for Danes, I'm sure.

[Syt]

It's more that Norderstedt is one of those soulless working class periphery towns around Hamburg that are basically glorified sleep towns for people working in Hamburg. The only more beige town I can think of in S-H is Neumünster.

France is Paderborn? Is this the beginning of an attempt to reform Asatru?

[Duque de Bragança]

Tickets for the games arrived! 
On smartphones that is, forget paper tickets.
I feel old.

Its sad.
When its just a little £10 concert then fair enough.
But when its a big £100+ special event then I want the ticket as a souvenir.

[Duque de Bragança]

Ditto.

I got €60 tickets but I think it still applies. I don't know it was for the previous EURO and VIP Lounge tickets might be different  (I only won them once through a SNCF competition).
