So, what are you up to this summer? Going to Germany, right? I mean, with both England and Scotland having qualified for the Uefa 2024 Euros (and with Wales still in with a chance via the play-offs) 14 June to 14 July is surely blocked off in your diary? It certainly is in mine. And with four matches being played in Munich, I know exactly where I plan to be when it comes to kick-off: in Italy’s northernmost city.
I did have something of a Where Eagles Dare moment, trying to blend in as I drank my fill and listened to the oompah band
Oh, do keep up! That’s what locals and regular visitors call Munich. It’s a fabulous city and, yes, rather Italianate with its cafes, bars, parks and open spaces for promenading. And it’s where hotshot former Hotspur, Harry Kane, the England captain, is now plying his trade to excellent effect, having netted 24 goals in his first 21 games for Bayern Munich.
