I prefer going to the pub to watch tournament games but some like to get the beers in and watch in the comfort of their home. What's best ?

Home for me. Not a massive drinker so trying to watch with a load of pissed up fellas shouting isn't for me.

If we were to get to the semi's I might be tempted out.

Yeah, maybe the final for me. Might be tempted to the pub then.

Usually go to the pub but there are a reducing amount of decent pubs so will probably watch Saturday's game at home. Rather have a clear head to go on the bike on Sunday morning

Years ago it would have been the pub all of the time but not as enjoyable now with loads of pissed up 18 year olds! Happy to watch it at home or go round a mates with a few cans!

I loved the Rocket pub but that's now gone but had some good times in there watching England. Not many decent places is there ?

Home for me too. Although, I do wish we could turn the commentators off so I can hear the fans singing etc. I find them completely pointless. I can see what's happening...I don't need an audio description.

The Wallace is probably the best pub in Cov to watch games in.

Wherever you watch it enjoy the games and for us England fans let's hope we have a good tournament.

I live near the Welsh border so will be heading to a Welsh owned pub for the England - Wales game. That should be a good atmosphere. But I thought that when I did the same for the recent rugby world cup and that certainly didn't go according to plan!

Pub Pub Pub.

Bristol isn't full of racist skinheads so you can get a good atmosphere without any tension

What's it like being in a pub with loads of Taffy's ? When I've been in Wales when they knew I was English they started talking in Welsh !

Usually a laugh to be fair, although they went a little OTT celebrating when Uruguay beat us at the last World Cup. I lived in Mid Wales for about 15 years and probably only met a couple of people who could speak Welsh even though we were all taught it in school!

The rocket on Warwick rd? Used to drink there in mid/late 70s.
Tonight I will watch at home with a couple of drinks and the wife and son.
England games probably with couple mates as well

Yes that's the one. Can't believe its gone as I would have gone there and watched some games. When me and my mate came back from Wembley in 87 the atmosphere in the pub was great, and had some good times in the Rocket over the years.

Back when they had the old tiled front bar before they did it up...used to love the old soaks in there. Some great characters. And then often having away fans in there if they skipped the train home the police wanted them on.

Nice place Bristol. Used to enjoy away days there. Often comes near the top of 'best places to live in the UK' and such like polls.
