UEFA EURO 2024

Very very weak showing of Scotland. Not so sure the Germans are as strong as the result says, but of course can't criticise them for winning 5-1.

I'm supporting England until they get knocked out on penalties in the round of 16. 

I usually support the team with the most Leicester City players in it... which these days are fewer than used to be the case..

If this was a joke, it is not funny. Not in an offensive way, but really uninteresting type of joke for me. 

If you're serious, I didn't mean such a thing as the context here has nothing to do with eartquakes. 

Forecasting earthquakes is all beyond me, by the way. 

Netherlands were pretty good. England and Italy got the job done. Both can probably show more than what we've seen yet. Not really sure about the Germans yet, Scotland were too weak (Albania, Serbia, Poland were much stronger). Spain are a contender for sure.

Ohhhh I'm sorry if you took it as a snark or a joke, man! Heck, I unironically thought that the reason Turkey was voted out to be the host of Euro 2024 was the difficult geographical conditions. :( I'm so sorry. How fricking foolish of me. Wow. That's another level of embarrassment. :_:

So, can you explain to my ignorant mind, what you meant by "not in an ideal condition/situation"? :) And perhaps shed some light on to why Turkey was eventually decided not to be the UEFA Euro 2024 host?

I wasn't offended actually. So no apology is needed. 

I just couldn't see the connection. When I said "we", I meant the Turkish national football team. You know, "We won the game." means "The Turkish national team won the game." in such a context. So you can guess know what I meant when I said "We are not in an ideal condition/situation." 

Our sh*tty economy, obnoxious politics, or the earthquakes are totally different things. Otherwise, my statement would be an understatement and I would have said: "We are in a horrendious condition." 

I frankly don't know about or forgot about our hosting/non-hosting the UEFA Euro 2024. Yet, we are used to witness such things in here. So much things are going on in my country and one of the "unacceptable" ones could have caused it. 

Romania leads 2-0 against Ukraine, with two spectacular goals! Yayyyy!!!

And...

Here comes the 3rd Romania goal while I'm writing this! 

You can certainly change your location to the UK via a VPN and watch the UK feed.

Haha. I know what you're talking about 'cause Turkish conservative politicians have often been compared to their Polish counterpart, on the grounds on how obnoxious they can be. I guess you gotta grin and bear it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can only imagine how much of a PITA those earthquakes are, though.
