Rat Luv Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 It's nearly that time again, when SL residents rez their prim TVs to watch the Euro football championship in world ⚽ Sweden didn't get through this year, so Orwar has said he's supporting Scotland 😮 And LL said they are bringing in more Moles to moderate the forum during the Dutch matches, in case Sid, Alwin, Dorientje and Archangel become rowdy 🛂 Will you be watching Euro 24 in world, and who are you supporting? Will Americans and Canadians be adopting a team? I think Scylla might support Ukraine? We'll let Ayashe sit in the England fan camp if she likes, because she liked onion bhajis when she went to London Should we have a forum sweepstake (within TOS)? Also, this is a thread for any Euro 24-related events in world ⚽🏆 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this is a thread for any Euro 24-related events in world ⚽🏆 Will this be a success under the current forum rules? And no, I very seldom watch TV in Second Life. And certainly no sports. I have a nice big flat screen for that in my living room in RL. The Netherlands can only put up a very average team at the moment, that most likely will go under before the quarter finals, maybe even in the first round, so nothing to get really excited about. I'll handpick a few interesting games and for the rest.... I keep an eye on the results in the (digital) papers. I'm more excited for the Olympics and The Tour De France this summer. Those two sport events I will watch way more closely. Edited May 29 by Sid Nagy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that word is only used in the title of the Eurovision Song Contest that dates already from that time. (European Freak Show would be a better description these days). Our lion made a mistake by picking the wrong word, I'm afraid. Edited May 29 by Sid Nagy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Sadly I can't watch any of it live, even in SL, because I don't have a TV license (a license is mandatory for watching live TV in the UK). Edited May 30 by Phil Deakins 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet together with VPN are your friends. There are so many live streams out there, to be accessed when the VPN signal comes from the right country. For instance, I can watch and use several Belgium or German services and streams on Internet, by just setting VPN to the according country. PDC Darts is on a pay tv channel in NL, in Belgium it is not. So guess where I watch that? Edited May 29 by Sid Nagy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromFranzic Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I was hoping some site in SL would be hosting a Eurovision event in world. Not a super huge fan (I am in the US) but it's neat to see a few clips on YouTube. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalificent Corvinus Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Ah televised sport. Most sports are too boring to watch live and in person, putting them on TV doesn't improve them. More drek to ignore. Thankfully, I have Steam, and my library of computer games to fill my screen with anti-sport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Nova Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I don't want to hear of football (aka HooliganBall, or as only North Americans call it, Soccer) or Euro24, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read in the paper that because of your and Zali's take on football, the UEFA has canceled the tournament. The scheduled games will be replaced by reruns of episodes of Upstairs Downstairs and Downton Abbey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 20 hours ago, Rat Luv said: I think Scylla might support Ukraine? Hmmm, maybe? I'm not really much of a sportsball girl (except for baseball, which I do love), but in the past I've followed both the Euro Cup and the World Cup a bit, almost entirely because of the forums. Not a big fan of the canary yellow Ukrainian uniforms though. 😬 Canada generally calls this "soccer," btw, because we have this incredibly dull game called "Canadian football" that is somewhat like American football. Happily, though, here in Toronto, it's usually "football" because of our huge immigrant population. And we have a football team, Toronto FC, that is quite popular. The city generally goes nuts during these tournaments. I live on the outskirts of Little Portugal, which is actually also Little Brazil, and if Portugal or Brazil win a game, the entire neighbourhood for about 8 city blocks square gets shut down as the party moves out of the sports bars onto the street. And when ANY team wins, you can expect cars honking the horns and sporting flags to be parading through the city. It's kind of cool. I like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
