England squad for Euros is announced at 2pm (UK time) from the British Museum. There's apparently going to be a 'British' themed buffet. Suggestions anyone? And Smulie, gorrany issues with this? Hmmm? How many of the walking dead will be included?
Answer? All of them...well almost. So, here it is. England #Euro2013 squad: Karen Bardsley, Rachel Brown-Finnis, Siobhan Chamberlain, Laura Bassett, Gemma Bonner, Sophie Bradley, Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton, Alex Scott, Casey Stoney, Dunia Susi, Anita Asante, Karen Carney, Jess Clarke, Jade Moore, Jordan Nobbs, Jill Scott, Fara Williams, Rachel Yankey, Eniola Aluko, Toni Duggan, Kelly Smith, Ellen White.
I didn't go! I'm waiting for the important shit too. What theme did they use for the lighting? I know the girls were in trouser suits. There, my insight ends. I'm a failure. But I will feed you this info in the end. I will be at least a smidgen -worthy of your intrigue...
Ah, you've let us down, Jenson. I'm shocked to the core. What could be more important than a custard buffet surrounded by nicked stuff from the various corners of the (ex) Empire?
True - her head is a bit less square, and if her face took on that colour, she should probably be worried.
Sweden squad, announced, already Upstairs, but let's take a closer look at something: Meanwhile, a short jaunt across the North Sea, What a nice touch, to announce the squad from the British Museum, the Ultimate Resting Place of Ancient Antiquities. Are we sensing a trend here?
This thread was founded (or so it seems in retrospect) in Hope and Optimism, a Nostalgia for the inherent Joys of Youth: I have recently heard it suggested that a better title for the Euro 2013 thread would be this: Bring Out Your Dead! Or, as Tove there in the video might put it, ”It’s like releasing reindeer everywhere. Mangy, arthritic, knackered reindeer.”
The prize money dangling in front of each German player: - Quarter finals EUR 5,000 - Semifinals EUR 10,000 - Final EUR 15,000 - Championship EUR 22,500

Since we've got our very own Euros thread, let me move hotjam2's questions here: Germany = caution to the wind? We don't do that. (That said, Neid knows that her defense has its weak points and she may have to make up for it up front...) Netherlands = all out attacking formation? I don't think they even know what that is. She doesn't really have a more experienced one. *shrug* The only exception is Wensing --> Krahn, if the latter is fit.
One of the speakers of honour at the opening of the Gothenburg fan zone may not make it to her 17.15 scheduled speech. The humble ambassador was recently spotted trying to board the wrong plane in Stockholm. Oopsie.
