The center of football - public screening at the European Football Championship in Selfoss
Last night we were in the new town center of Selfoss to watch the final of the men's European Football Championship live.
Two years ago we went to the public screening of the women's European Championship final between Germany and England on Brúartorg, the "bridge square" in Selfoss, and not only saw the football game live, but also a violent earthquake near Grindavík on July 31, 2022 . Luckily there was no big earthquake this time...
Yesterday we met a friend in Selfoss, got something to eat and then made ourselves comfortable on a bench in the square. Markus had his non-alcoholic Bóndi beer with him.
Like two years ago - it wasn't terribly crowded at the public viewing yesterday, but it was reasonably well attended. The good seats quickly disappeared, but you could still get a seat on the steps.

The fact that the weather here wasn't that summery definitely played a role, but with 12°, no rain and hardly any wind, we were able to enjoy the broadcast outdoors with a jacket.
The first half was - for my taste - relatively boring, in the second half it became more exciting, first it was 1-0 for Spain, then the equalizer for England, then the second goal for Spain four minutes before the end of regular time and At the end it got really exciting again when the English headed three times at the Spaniards' goal in the 90th minute, but the first two attempts were saved and the third attempt then went over the goal... phew!
