I unexpectedly ended up watching the Euro 2024 final with my son on Sunday. Because it was a school night we hadn't planned on letting it happen but somehow he was up until the late hours watching Spain win their 4th European title which was their third in the last five attempts. It wasn't the first final we had watched together, but the first that late at night.
I'll happily watch England play football but they aren't a side I would say I support. I was rooting for the the Netherlands and watched as a neutral in the final.
My son was behind the England team and was excited when they equalised. Thankfully he wasn't too sad at the end, I think it was clear to see that Spain were the better team so it's not like you could feel hard done by anyway.
It was the first evening game we've watched together and he did sit there and watch it all! If Liverpool make good progress through the European competitions this season, then hopefully we get to see another late game together in the next 12 months.
My Euros final gripe
Why put a game of this magnitude on at 8pm BST (9PM CET) on a Sunday? The Saturday would have been better if it has to be at that time or earlier in the day to get as many eyes on the game as possible.
