Couldn’t see a thread, apologies if there already is one. Please feel free to merge.
Kicks off in just over a month, I will be watching. Struggle to keep up with the regular season on top of PL and ‘life’, but I always enjoy the big tournaments.
Anyway I’ve made my obligatory planner/wallchart/whatever you want to do with it. You can download it here, if you like. It’s in Switzerland so I went…Swiss.
Going to the quarter finals in Basel and Bern, fulfilling a lifelong ambition to watch a game at the famous Wankdorf Stadium. Only 2 international grounds I’m particularly arsed about (unless we count Scotland as international) and that’s one of them.
What’s the Scottish one, @HannahIngramMoore
Claggan Park, Fort William - top of my groundhopping bucket list 
Do Fort William even still exist? Thought they went out of business after that historically bad season (not that it would stop going to the ground)
No they’re still pottering away in step 6! They’ve finally found their level and tend to finish about 4th.
Ahah! I’d take you up on that tbf, its a beautiful place
I’m finally gonna do it this summer… assuming they have a home game on a weekend where Tonbridge are away and that isn’t my friend’s wedding 
Going to two quarters and a semi. Basel, Geneva and Zurich. Looking forward to it.
You can never have too many wallcharts IMO
Glad this got bumped before I created a separate thread. Here’s a bit of a preview I wrote for it, anyway
This starts tomorrow! Can England defend the title with a refreshed squad? Will Spain march on and complete the World Cup-Euros double? Or will Germany build on their Olympics win?
Opening games tomorrow in the Nordic group A:
1700 Iceland vs Finland
2000 Switzerland vs Norway
Norway have Ada Hegerberg at full fitness, could that be the key for them getting out of the group stage for the first time since 2013, when they were runners-up? You’d think the hosts have a good chance of progressing.
Group B is all about Spain at the peak of their powers. Luis Rubiales and Jorge Vilda have gone, but the new coach, Montse Tome, is stained by her association with Vilda and relative lack of success at the Olympics. Jenni Hermoso isn’t in the squad but they have no major injury absentees. Italy are slight favourites for second but Belgium or Portugal have a good chance of sneaking it.
Group C’s favourites are Germany. Alexandra Pöpp and Svenja Huth have retired, but the new generation could be about to take Germany back to the very top. Poland are major tournament debutants, lead by star forward Ewa Pajor, who now plays for Barcelona after having lots of success in Germany. She’s much more in her prime than Lewandowski is, though, so there’s still hope she can lead them to something special. Denmark are rather distracted by whether Andrée Jeglertz is going to be the next Manchester City manager. It seems set up for a disappointing tournament followed by an underwhelming appointment. Sweden have a lot of familiar London based faces. Can Stina Blackstenius surprisingly deliver again? Lots of focus on whether Fridolina Rolfö will be fit enough.
Wales make their international tournament debut, with caps and goals record holder Jess Fishlock in the squad, almost 20 years after she made her debut. Unfortunately, they’re in the group of death alongside England, France and the Netherlands. As is tradition, France are in pre-tournament meltdown. Captain Wendie Renard, vice captain Eugénie Le Sommer and Kenza Dali have been dropped from the squad. The Netherlands look decent as always, and will have the best support, as always, but will need to get a result against France or England.
As for the defending champions, hopefully Earps’ and Kirby’s decisions don’t have consequences of them being needed and missed. I really wouldn’t be confident about throwing Kheating into a high pressure situation after the season she’s just had. The starting lineup looks very strong, especially if Lauren James gets up to speed quickly after her recent injury.
Heading to Switzerland for quarters and a semi. Getting excited now.
Had tickets to a fair few games in the last Euros, including the final. Got very swept up in being able to go to international tournament matches, but without that option I’ve drifted away from women’s international fixtures the same way I have the men’s. Some proper belters to drag me back in would go down well.
Got tickets for France vs Netherlands next weekend. Hoping it’s a meaningful decider rather than a waste of time.
More importantly: I was sorting out my hipster football stickers last night.
I mean it’s great. Bastard.
And in my own thread.
Don’t think much of Norway’s chances then?
Oops! Edited.
The weather conditions could be a twelfth man for the home team.
Dinger klaxon!
