- Liverpool face Dortmund battle over Mario Gotze? Transfer news and gossip from Wednesday’s papers Why would Dortmund want him back and same for Klopp? Besides Gotze supposedly wants CL.
- Toni Kroos for PSG Manchester United is offering silly money for him, but Manchester United need to rebuild, tbh. No just spunk money on the hottest thing going. That hasn't worked out with Schweinsteiger or Depay or De Maria...
- Euro 2016 matches 'could be played behind closed doors... we can't exclude terrorism', says UEFA chief following Brussels attacks UGH if it's true. I had maps for potential fan zones. :/'

Euro 2016: stadia hosting the matches
I should be staying around Marsielles, that's where one of England's matches will be
Nation Teams: details in the comments
England NT
England goalies. Tom Heaton (Burnley goalie!) got called due to Joe Hart's injury. Make hay whilst the sun shines, lads
Forster in goal
Danny Drinkwater got a call up. Mark Noble got overlooked. Ouch. Well, there's always Ireland? But seriously, the next football manager... I hope he's not so tied to 'big' teams. Saying that Wilshire has a space if he gets fit in time (and overlooking Noble) is silly
France NT
I like the French NT training gear. That blue is gorgeous.
But still, Nike is lazy. I wish they'd kept the 2014 WC kit
Wales NT
Coleman and the Welsh FA aren't in this together: they're at odds with contract talks
Gareth Bale had another child. Hopefully she takes after her sister.
Babies, babies, everywhere. But if you can afford 'em, why not?
The Welsh players are going a song with Manic Street Preachers
Yes, this is Joe Allen. Yes, this is a real magazine cover. Supposedly, he's big on animal welfare, and is rumoured to have gone vegan at the start of the current season. Had to tweak his diet for the rigours of football, but no meat/animal products at all
Reactions to Belgium
If anyone should know... it's the French. England had 7/7 years ago. The consensus is that we're due for one again! I do remember the time of 'The Troubles' and this seems more sinister
The Belgian Devils didn't train yesterday. Footballers sent regrets and sympathy
When did Kün get that cute avatar?

reactions from across the football world.
OP; done! Cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback, you know the drill!
