SPORT: MATCH OF THE DAY LIVE: EURO 2008

Story Image


Saturday June 7,2008

By BBC1, 4.30pm

Here we go, then. It's the top football tournament the nation has been waiting for. That nation, of course, being Austria.

Or possibly its co-host, Switzerland.

As for our own lot, as if you need reminding, none of the home sides qualified, so as Gary Linekar brings us this opening encounter - the Swiss facing the Czechs - he can perhaps be excused for being less than his usual chirpy self.

Me, mind you, I'm quite relieved to be spared the ridiculous burden of expectation that traditionally accompanies England in particular - and happy just to settle back and enjoy some top-class football, occasionally dreaming of what might have been (might, but let's be honest, probably wouldn't have).

ITV's coverage starts at 7.15pm with Portugal v Turkey.
