The European football championship started last week saturday in the host countries of Austria and Switzerland. I've been into the city and there is an incredible Fan Zone setup in the city of Vienna, I guess all the host cities will have one of these.
I thoroughly enjoyed the zone especially the life size version of table football, other attractions are the various food stalls, music and of course the many large screens for watching the action. More information on the Fan Zones here.
All this football is distracting me from cyberspace and I cannot get enough, the euro2008 website is full of all sorts of bits and bobs about the tournament which takes up even more of my time. I reckon it makes a huge difference living in a city that's hosting a football tournament especially as I have tickets to a few games as well, just walking around in the city is exciting because the electric atmosphere is infectious.
There have been some really good opening games, notably the Holland vs Italy and the Spain vs Russia games, however I think it's still too early to call a winner although I like the look of the Dutch team.
Maybe I'll do some work tomorrow.....
