As you may know, the Euro 2012 tournament has finally begun. Groups A, B, and C have had their first games, and tonight Group D, with England playing France, starts off.
The major upset so far has been Holland's loss to Denmark. Germany won, as most people expected, and, last night, Italy and Spain drew. Russia played very well in their first match.
I have been very busy, and I don't want to be sleepy at work, so so far I haven't watched any matches. And from Tuesday I'm going to America on business, so I probably won't be able to see any matches then. But I do hope to watch tonight's match!
England has had very bad preparation for the tournament. The coach, Fabio Capello, resigned a few months ago, and then it took a long time to find a new coach. The new coach is Roy Hodgson, and he has had only about a month to get ready for the tournament. Many of England's best players got injured shortly before the tournament, and Wayne Rooney is suspended for the first two matches. England's goal tonight will be not to lose, rather than winning.
