Fantastic to see a world class player connected with West Ham in the opener of the Euros last night. But that's enough about Romania's Razvan Rat (and credit to West Ham for tweeting a picture of him in his WHU onesie as a tribute). Dimitri Payet had a pretty decent game too. He's one of those players you can't take your eyes off because every touch can produce a piece of magic; and what a sumptuous finish for the winner. Good to see what it meant to him when he went off in tears too. Just hope Barcelona and Real Madrid weren't watching… Another plus for West Ham was Slaven Bilic managing to let slip the 'f' word at half time. Truly a rock'n'roll gaffer.
Today we have the Ginger Pele playing for Wales while Angelo Ogbonna is in the Italian squad and Darren Randolph could start with Ireland. Among the ex-WHU players coming up there's 38-year old Roy Carroll with Northern Ireland, double agent Robbie Keane for the Republic of Ireland and Valon Behrami with Switzerland. Let's hope for a great tournament.

Will we see a better performance and goal in these championships? Is Dimi now truly world class? He certainly played better than Pogba, who is considered in the top 10 in the world...
Yes Dimi was outstanding throughout. I'm still amazed that we have him at WHU. Thought Rat looked ok going forward too - never was clear why Big Sam got rid of him so quickly.
