Turkey were absolutely flying going into the last Euros. Was looking forward to seeing them cause a few upsets and they completely flopped.

Are Turkey and Greece one of these stupid rules where they can't get each other in qualifying like Spain and Gibraltar?

I don't recall them being kept apart but could be wrong.

That 49€ ticket is an annual ticket paid monthly so you would need to remember to cancel it.
Also it doesn't cover ICE trains (fast intercity )

Tickets got today for 3 second round games. Portal is only open for 24 hours. Lucky I randomly checked yesterday. I would have missed it otherwise

Managed to get 3 matches - France v Austria (in Dusseldorf), Turkey v Play-off winner (Dortmund) and Spain v Italy (Gelsenkirchen). 

Tried to get Scotland v Switzerland (in Cologne) but couldn't cart it. I'm sure there'll be more chances in the next few months.

There was a chinese buffet that we went to one night but as well as the usual precooked stuff under heat lamps there was a fresh ingredients aisle that you chose your own ingredients and gave them to a chef in front of a hot plate who cooked it for you  - Top 3 away meals of all time  

You could take up 6 oysters and he would steam them for you  - always suspected it was a money laundering front as the cost was about  30 euro a head including a beer 

Rest of the town is a dump though  and outside the stadium was lethal for lack of lights

Hopefully Greece qualify as Turkey v Greece in Dortmund's stadium will be quality. Great game to go to.

Got lost in the dark there heading back for the tram in 2014 and ended up wandering into the old Parkstadion building site where we played the Dutch in '88.

I remember Gelsenkirchen was a dump from my 1st Ireland away trip there in 2014 (fck me, was that really 10 years ago!?) so I'm basing myself in Dusseldorf.

Even without Greece, that'll probably still feel like I've somehow arrived in Istanbul with the largeTurkish population in Germany.

I've always wanted to go to a game at that stadium so even San Marino v Faroes would be a great day out. Enjoy!

Thank you Thumbs Up

I was there in December 2019 for a fantastic Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig which finished 3-3. Fantastic atmosphere to go with it and the Yellow Wall seemed much bigger than what you see on tv. Clap

a lot of pubs along the river with huge screens that show football, alt stadt is a fun place and the local "alt' beer is delicious. McLaughlins at the top of the alt stadt is the best of the Irish pubs. There is a german cinema museum which is well worth a visit if you're into films.

By no means 100% but in general UEFA assign the end on the left looking from the main stand to the "home" fans.  Turkey are the "home" side v Playoff and v Portugal meaning they should get the yellow wall end.  If it works out that way it will be some sight. I'm also going to both games in Dortmund.

Demand for tickets this time appears to be insane.  All games sold yesterday unlike say France where quite a few games were always on sale in the higher categories.  I'm shocked that 400 euro tickets for Slovakia v Playoff Winner sold so easily.  

There will be other chances but so far every ticket offered to the general public is being snapped up.
