Malt 379 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 We've two good stadiums anyway, Croagh Park (if the GAA would see their way to allowing it) and the Aviva stadium. Other stadia I am not so sure whether they'd meet requirements or not. Depends on the minimum capacity for each stadium I suppose John. Add the Millenium stadium, Celtic park, ibrox, Hampden, Murrayfield and maybe the City ground and Liberty stadiums and you've got 9 modern stadia over 20,000 with good transport links to them.

baw 4,360 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Germany are looking favourites to me. Start the tournament slowly and peak at the right time. No real shocks so far really, holland are a huffy lot, their camp is never happy, bit like englands Anyhow c'mon England 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
