Not Completely OT: Euro 2012

[Raellus]

Those of you following the tournament are aware that all of the games are being played in either Poland or Ukraine. I like football (soccer) anyway but I feel that this year's Euros are a bit special because I've spent so much time -in my imagination, that is- in Poland. I've learned so much about Polish history and culture over the past five years, nearly all because of my interest in T2K. I really enjoy seeing what I can of the country on the telly.

For example, today's Spain vs. Ireland game was played in Gdansk. For the past three or four years, I've played in a PbP set in Gdansk. During the mandatory aerial shots, I kept looking for landmarks that I might recognize from the game. It was almost surreal. I nearly told my wife "I've been there before" before I fully realized what I was about to say.

Anyway, I figured that some of you might want to chat about the tournament so I figured I would start a thread for that purpose.
