Game Day 2: an unexpected leader

Andrea Bocelli treated us ahead of kick-off with Nessun Dorma, then the Italian Football team gave fans a demonstration of clever, patient, beautiful football to push aside the Turks (3-0) and the traumas of the past 18 months. International football is back and what a way to kick of Euro 2020. Day 2, and the Welsh scrambled themselves to a draw (1-1), Finland upset Denmark in a game overshadowed by the collapse of Christian Eriksen, and the world's number one ranked side comfortably swept off a determined but rather ordinary Russian side.

In our competition, Angelique, making her debut, picked two out of three game day 2 scores (Draw and Lukaku) to find herself leading early on.
