and then the car turned in to fire
Hello fuckers, today is the opening day of the tournament where we see tournament favorites France play against tournament also-rans Romania. Though most of the news today has been focused around Spain and their sex scandal the real entertainment is yet to start. The opening match is at 2100 CET, with Im sure some bullshit opening ceremonies before that. In the USA it will be televised on one of the ESPN channels.

Interested in tactics/players/drama for each team?
France thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3778230
Romania thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3779419

The game today will be played in Saint-Denis at the Stade De France, France's national stadium:



It holds a lot of people and will certainly be sold out. Lets hope for a non-poo poo game!


THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL
