Website of the Day: Thursday June 17th
Last Friday on the Eve of Euro 2004 I featured the tournament's official site, the BBC's Mini Motty download and a couple of other football-friendly sites.
>> Miles’ previous Euro 2004 recommendations
We also asked you to email me with your suggestions for the best Euro 2004 sites. With just minutes to go until the kick-off between England and Switzerland, here are a few of your suggestions:
>> SportingLife.com Fantasy League
Nominated bv Ian Spencer. You can compete in the main big prize league, and also create your own mini league for friends and colleagues.
>> Svensation
Nominated by Jonathan Lawton who optimistically describes this reworded cover of Heaven 17's Tempatation as “the best unofficial euro 2004 anthem”
>> Games by Mail: Tough at the Top
Recommended by listener Nathan Spong as the premier Play By Mail football game on the market. Tough at the Top is described as “a top class management simulation based on real-life football that is played through the post. You don’t need any special equipment such as a computer or games console to play this game; just a pen, some stamps, some envelopes and a great sense of enjoyment and escapism.”
>> Give Me Football
Jerry Werrett recommends this site from The Professional Footballers Association
The Pride.Passion.Belief poject asks fans to send their own Euro 2004 stories and experiences - The best will be selected and published in an official “by the fans for the fans” publication.
>> Play For Your Club
This online free kick game comes recommended by Gavin Williams – who said that “it started out as a little bit of lunchtime entertainment and has turned into a fulltime mission to save Wycombe from Relegation from the 3rd division of the volley league!”
You choose your team (in this case England) and your scores in the online game influence the result in a virtual cup. Hence we can rewrite history and get an altogether more satisfactory result for last Sunday’s England- France game!
