Euro 2004: begins in Portugal on Saturday. The bookies have France as favourites but the competition looks fairly tight with Italy and England(!) not far behind. Fantasy football is back on the tv, England fans are being allowed to smoke dope and there's a small matter of the England v. France game on Sunday. Are Germany really as bad as they look? Are Greece going to suprise everyone? Are France going to bestride the competition like a colossus? Whatever happens, I just can't wait for it to start.
This is going to be a superb weekend of sport. Starting with the rugby at 8.30 tomorrow, moving onto the cricket mid-morning and onto Euro 2004 for the afternoon and evening. Sunday more of the same, followed by England v. France. Does it get any better than this?

ENGLAND! ENGLAND! Screw Euro 2004 though this weekend. I'll catch the England game, but it's the Le Mans 24 Hour race this weekend! Bring it on!
