GERMANY AND SCOTLAND are to face off in the first match of the 2024 men’s UEFA Euro championship, at 8 pm our time.
There’s a big weekend of soccer ahead as Hungary and Switzerland will play in the next group stages match on Saturday at 2 pm, with two more matches that evening, and the England team is amongst those making their start in the competition on Sunday.
Ireland has failed to qualify for the tournament for the fourth time in a row, unfortunately.
There will still be plenty of good soccer to see though, so, we want to know, will you be watching the Euros?

What do you call an English man in the knockout stages of the Euros ….
The referee.
@larry smith: I can’t seem to find out when Ireland are playing their first match…..
@Paul: We have a bye to the final!!!
@larry smith: They’ve reached the knockout stages in the last three Euro tournaments (the final in 2021).
@larry smith: ‘Experienced in it’ ‘?
@Ollie Fitzpatrick: We’ll be saying bye bye to that!
@Paul: Oh saucy
@larry smith: what do you call a girl with no legs?
Noeleen
See Scotland have been nominated with the ‘shur aren’t the fans great’ mantle we enjoyed in ’12 and ’16.
@Setanta O’Toole: It’s the Celtic blood!!!
Have the beers ready! Looking forward to Serbia beating England on and off the pitch on Sunday.
@James Rowan: I hope our dear neighbours go the whole way, just to annoy the hell out of people like you. Actually really looking forward to this, the Premiership is over, GAH is a borefest, so four weeks of wall to wall football is just what the doctor ordered
@The Firestarter: why would any Irish person support England. People from Liverpool don’t even support England. Baffling.
@The Firestarter: The League of Ireland runs through the summer, every summer. You should give it a go, you’ll enjoy it.
@James Rowan: not true , I know plenty of Liverpool folk who support England.
@Michael O’Brien: you know absolutely nothing then if you think Scousers support England.
@The Firestarter: Gaelic football is a borefest. Definitely not hurling.
We all secretly love England
@James Rowan: Same as you’d never see a scouser play for or captain England! ohh hang on…
@biggybald: plenty of Basque and Catalan players have Captained Spain, what’s your point?
@Exhausted Jim: go back to bed jim.
Yes, while looking forward to our super Athletes going for Gold in the Olympics.
With the cost of living being so high, I always watch my euros, and even more so when I’ll be in the pub looking at the football over the next few weeks…
Living in Berlin, would be rude not to.
Soccer is very chavy
@John D Doe: Not so much since Barcelona sacked him.
Well if your waiting for Ireland to qualify for a tournament, you,ll never watch a football match again for a long long time!!!
More importantly…Will we be watching Enoch Burke get some sense and move on.
Even as a Liverpudlian I’ll be supporting anyone but England and it’s not about the team, it’s the whole jingoism and nasty following they have. We don’t care in Liverpool even if TAA pulls on a shirt for us it’s Liverpool first, then Ireland, Scotland, Wales and then maybe Croatia/Serbia or even Holland (Virgil/Kobe and Gravenbach)
@Marcus Maher – Triskellion Films: well said. Unreal that Irish people would support England. Barstool fans obviously!
I would like to see England win but that manager Southgate is really not capable. I cannot understand how he is in the job.
@Sean Money: He’s their most successful manager in more than 50 years.
@Brendan O’Brien: doesn’t mean he’s good enough to win a competition, i’d give them a good chance for semi’s but i dunno, he’s a bit too conservative to get over the line i think.
@Setanta O’Toole: I tend to agree: can’t see them winning.
@Brendan O’Brien: he has wasted their chances of glory so he has but still in the job.
Can’t wait what you reckon the score(anyone)
@aeX06eDn: Can’t see Scotland progressing too far….. They don’t have an out and out scorer of any note to progress them much further. There again what would I know?
@aeX06eDn: Germany to win 3:0
@Ollie Fitzpatrick: A long 45min for you!
This is a no contest Germany all over them.
I’ll be watching UL where failure earns you a gold medal, far more interesting!
Only sport worth watching in the summer is the Hurling.
I’ll think about it.
Definitely finally more soccer getting sick of gaa games. Pity Ireland not in it. Think france or spain will win it
Its coming home, it’s coming home
have your say
