Very disappointed at today's results - obviously gutted about Scotland's defeat but also genuinely disappointed for England as well as I support all the home nations.

Just wondering what everyone thinks... will the Euros still be a seen as a major tournament in Britian, with lots of interest, or will the lack of a home nation mean that it is massively watered down?

Watered down. The papers won't care a hoot without England.

It'll be absolutely depressing. I love all the blinkered media hype, flags on cars, rushing to get back from work to go down the pub, truly believing England are gonna win the thing. All down the drain next year.

I'll still watch but it'll be a pale reflection.

Even more so in my case i reckon. The whole "omg we're gonna win it this time innit" shizzle that we get from the players, media and a lot of fans before every major tournament does my box in.

world Cup 94 is my favourite international tournament so for me yeah.

Obviously won't be the same feeling though.

retired_hurtleftvirtue

In your UK-centered world ... USA 94 is as if never happened right?

nah, love the build up the days in the pub etc and the drama of the matches, might watch a few games but if england arent there i couldnt give a f***

bet landlords will be absolutely gutted they are gonna lose out on loads of money because of this

retired_ohioprettygurl

Well it was played in the middle of the night so yeah... :p

Well I love it every year when england build themselves up to be knocked down, but It will still be the same from me, N.Ireland are very rarely in any major tournaments anyway.
