[...] Pitch Invasion: Rückblick über die vergangenen Europameisterschaften – Frankreich 1960 We hail the European Championships as a major tournament these days, but that hasn’t always been the case. In this series, we’ll look at each tournament held since it began in 1960, covering one roughly every two weeks until we get to Euro 2008 next June. As usual on Pitch Invasion, we’ll look at events off the field as well as on it, with politics and hooliganism intervening all too often. But we’ll also encounter some fantastic football and remember some great moments. (via) [...]

Thanks Daryl. Wouldn’t we all love to see that game? I’ve been trying to find video of it, but with no success. If anyone knows how to get hold of it, let us know.

Thanks John — glad you enjoyed it. Maybe doing this series will help me decide who to support in England’s absence, I still haven’t quite decided.

Hi Thomas,

I think this is a great idea to recap some of the finer moments in the history of European competitions and then build-up the anticipation to Euro 08. If you build up enough, the hosts will be thanking you for filling the void left by England’s absence.

Great start, I will be dropping by more often as well as linking to some of your posts in future.
