Re: Euro 21
Speaking to friends in the Czech Republic and Germany, we appear to have got a bad press over the laser pen incident and that few Italians will be at the final. They said most people are supporting Italy and that England is not popular.

I think Brexit has something to do with it aswell Mark.

The laser pen incident was terrible and at a critical moment. Denmark were the most popular with neutrals.

Re: Euro 21
Could well be yes. The Czechs have suddenly made it a bit difficult for Brits to stay on a permanent basis, so I wouldn't be too surprised. My friend said they were supporting Denmark even though they had been knocked out by them, which I thought was a bit strange.

Lets hope Tim S and Nick F are allowed in the country to play in their Chess tournaments.MJMcCready wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 1:24 amCould well be yes.

I've noticed you are just 80 posts behind Professor Robertson. I've posted about 1280 since joining last year and have made major inroads on the first page.

Re: Euro 21
As long as they don't stay for more than 180 days, I think they will be just fine. The biggest danger of the Czech Republic, I think, is coming to terms with the fact that they are exceptionally good at making beer, and offer it up at a very reasonable price.
I'm not sure who this Professor Robertson is, is he really a Professor?

He's now retired. He was a Professor of Public Policy at Liverpool John Moores University. Organized some very prestigious chess tournaments in Liverpool in 2006-2008.

Indeed, and had some rather entertaining arguments with the arbiters.

Re: Euro 21
I thought it was a UK entry for Eurovision. But I suppose that could change to England in the future.
I can understand why Israel is allowed to enter but not Australia.

Re: Euro 21
Australia did take part a few years ago, I'm sure?
As for Israel, they have been a member of the main European broadcasting organisation since at least the 1960s - that why they started entering.

Re: Euro 21
From what I read in non English press, reaching the final thanks to a highly debatable penalty awarded to the home team did not make England particularly popular.MJMcCready wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 1:15 amSpeaking to friends in the Czech Republic and Germany, we appear to have got a bad press over the laser pen incident and that few Italians will be at the final.
