There was some incredible on the spot reporting on today's episode of The Euros Racket. Conor Neville was off duty today but still took time to take a call from us from the streets of Paris where the Irish fans were just starting to get a little rowdy ahead of tonight's game.
Like all of the best news hound reporters, Conor was deep in the trenches, reporting live, as the big news story of the day broke out - an Irish fan stripping naked on top of a van.
The setlist of the Irish fans, the scandalous price of drink in Paris are also on the agenda today, as well as reflections on the first weekend, which though unspectacular, at least included a lost less monochrome kits than the last major tournament two years ago.
Ladbrokes Bet of the Day:
After a great start on Friday, when our France half time/full time pick was never in doubt, our Ladbrokes Bet of the Day pot is looking pretty healthy right now. After a starting point of €50, we've already amassed €187.50 after just one bet. We'll be frankly amazed if we don't finish with 50 grand by the end of the tournament.
And so, it's with all the momentum of a runaway freight train that we approach tonight's match. With supreme confidence, we're throwing another 50 quid on the most obvious score of them all. After much debate, we settled on the traditional Irish football result as a way to make money. It might not be the most positive way to look at things, but we do love a 1-1 draw in this country, especially with tasty 5/1 odds.
Look, hopefully we'll win, but if we don't, you can take solace in a nice few quid and we'll still be well in the group.
