It’s a game of two halves, it’s a funny old game, it’s not a matter of life and death - it’s more important than that.

Yes, it’s Euro 2008 and I would be quaking in my size nine boots if England’s disjointed misanthropes had somehow squeaked into the final. They haven’t, which means I get to watch the tournament for its beauty, pizazz, style and theatrics, and raise a nonchalant wise old eyebrow as I watch my European amis get themselves all in a tizz. I may even attempt to muster support for Romania - my wife’s team - but I probably won’t manage - after seeing them defeat England twice in the recent past. The hurt lingers on. (Plus, wife never lets me forget).

One thing I will not be short of this Euro 2008 is organisation - not because I have overnight developed the efficiencies and time keeping skills I have always yearned for, but because I have at my fingertips a complete guide to the event - where to go, when to go, who to see, and which players to look out for. And, this is the good part, you do to - because we are publishing The Euro 2008 Guide right here, right now.

You will find everything you need to know about the event - the event calendar, details about the stadium, ‘golden players’ to watch out for - plus scores on the door as we progress through the tournament.

If you have any comments about the event, our guide, or just the quality of the football as we progress through the tournament - we would love to get your comments.
