Euro 2016 – My Highlights and best bits
It has been far from a spectacular tournament, and I was totally disappointed with the final winners being a team who had only won one game in 90 minutes, and had finished third in their group, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t enjoyed Euro 2016. I’ve loved it! From Giroud opening the tournament with a cracking goal, to Eder’s final flourish, there has been a lot to enjoy for football fans this summer. Here are some of my favourite moments from a Summer of Football.

Football Style – The Euros, Soccer Aid and Arsenal and Duchamp
If you are not a fan of the beautiful game, now might just be the time to take a holiday somewhere remote, without TV, because in just 3 days from now, Euro 2016 will be beginning in style, with host nation and favourites France taking on Romania. A summer of football, flags, klaxons and seriously hot men will begin. And hallelujah to that! As a football fan I can honestly say I am so excited about this, and looking forward to Joe enjoying his first tournament since he became football crazy. My heart is hoping for an England win, my head is telling me it will be France, and I’m…
