No idea why they are doing it that way. Is it perhaps to give an extra day for the league games at the end of the following week (as we are playing two games with the second the following Tuesday)?

It wouldn't take much given that the most exciting thing to happen in last year's World Cup was the vuvuzela.
But I agree. In some ways Euros are even harder to win than the World Cup because although there is one less knockout stage there are no joker teams like New Zealand or North Korea in your group. Apart from Brazil and Argentina all the best football teams are from Europe anyway.

TOPLESS activists are threatening to target English footie fans attracted by Ukraine’s sex industry during Euro 2012.
Inna Shevchenko, 21, and her radical feminist comrades in women’s rights group Femen claim lusty lads heading over for the tournament could make "a bordello out of Ukraine".
They have vowed to head them off by attacking EVERY match.
Inna warned: “English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we will try to mess with them.
“The sex industry exploits women who are so poor and often uneducated.
“That is why we are going to try to attack every match.”
With our players history, they are going to be for the taking with that distraction.
