JKD Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 As an all round sports fan, as in I don't follow any particular teams/person etc, what a superb summer of sports we are having !? Today is the Formula I British Grand Prix, with 3 British drivers leading out the pack π Obviously the football Euros is ongoing, with England "finding a way" to get to the semi finals,,,, hoorah ππ€£ The Tour de France has 2 more weeks of racing, with Cavendish 'going out in style' !!! πππ This leads into, and crosses paths with, the Paris Olympics π I personally absolutely love the Olympics ,,,, athletes and sports people at the top of their game π So I for one will be glued to the TV and recording things while I'm at work ! Anyone else enjoying this sporty [wetπ] summer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 If anything there is far to much tennis being televised , cricket , no thanks , football , look forward to the three lions playing but that's more or less it , these nice nights on slowly on the way out so make the most of them and to me they take priority over the t v sport coverage .Β Β MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
