I like many sports.
But I cannot stand the spirit around Soccer, the violence of both the players and the supporters, the cheating, the comedy....

Women Soccer is wonderful though.

can't be all that bad.

"Soccer as I said can be one big party.
I can feel the fever rising in my (rather small) home town.
National flags everywhere.
Ultra big screen in the center.
People gathering.
All colours, all differences united.
Even the Dutch (not qualified) supporting our team..."

If I told you the conditions some of the women had to play under you may not think it so wonderful. (my daughter is a senior team player for a CFU country)

Idiots supporters exist all over the world. It's just magnified by the magnitude if the even. Several days ago, way before EURO started European news was already showing English Hooligans starting to create havoc in Marseille. It's not Soccer that create havoc but idiotic extreme minorities.

Actually, don't even know why I am trying to defend Soccer or the Euro, if some don't like it, don't watch it!
I'll be cheering for my favorite team - Allez Les Bleus! Appreciate the effort of those that lose and applaud the winner no matter which country wins

You are right.
The violence is always among supporters. Never on the play field.
Lol.
