IBSA Blind Football European Championships - thePoint4

[Deleted]

Anyone been to or going to any of the Blind Euros at Point4 this week? I was there for the opening ceremony and England's 7-0 thrashing of Poland yesterday afternoon.

The close ball control these guys have is superb, and they're absolutely fearless. Considering their impairment, they're amazing. IF you've never watched blind footbal previously then I highly recommend checking it out. It's much better than a lot of people probably would assume it to be. 

It's a fantastic set-up there. The fans village has stalls form Shack Revolution, Beefy Boys and more too, so you can make an afternoon/evening of it. Only a fiver for a 2 match session too. 

IF you're interested in what the match schedule is or want to buy tickets then take a look at this page: tickets.rncb.ac.uk/

Absolutely brilliant. I am in awe of the guys playing, and it was terrific entertainment. Yes it can be a little stop start at set pieces etc. but I thoroughly recommend a trip to watch the games. It was my first time and already bought tickets for the final because I realllŷ fancy England's chances of making it. If they do get to the finals they will qualify for Rio too.

4-0 by the way, beating Italy.

England play Russia this afternoon in the semi finals, and should fancy their chances after this record in the group stage:





Win or lose, England will also be playing tomorrow, either in the 3rd place playoff at 1pm, or the final at 3pm, against either Spain or Turkey. Reach the final and it's automatic entry to next year's paralympics in Rio.

There's still tickets left for both today's semis and tomorrow
