Sky Sports News producer Gemma Davies has been based with the England squad during Euro 2016 and in the final instalment of her blog she looks back on her time in France and ahead to a well-earned rest. Wholesale Golden Knights Jerseys . As Euro 2016 comes to an end, so too does Sky Sports News HQs time in France.Little did Team England realise when we watched Roy Hodgsons side beat Portugal 1-0 at Wembley on June 2, we would be watching two teams who would go on to under-perform in the tournament group stages, but one that would go on to be crowned champions of Europe. Id like to think the Sky teams at the Euros were reflective of Frances run in the tournament (excluding defeat in the biggest game of all). Consistent, got the job done, crowd pleasing on occasion, great team spirit, and with the ability to make changes when things werent going to plan.Just like Didier Deschamps had to shake things up when his side went 1-0 down to the Republic of Ireland in the last 16, Team Skys plans had to change when England made their early exit, and also when Wales reached their first ever semi-final.I was based with Nick Collins as Englands producer, but had been on loan to Team Northern Ireland for a couple of days when they faced Wales in Paris. Once Englands exit was confirmed with defeat to Iceland in Nice, SSNHQ did some reshuffling and we relocated to Bordeaux to join up with our German and Italian colleagues for their quarter-final. Road trip from Dinard to Lyon with Team Wales However, as Wales quarter-final approached, the realisation set in that a Home Nation could be in the semi-finals and more resources would be needed. So a back-up plan was executed for us to leave Bordeaux to join up with Team Wales should Chris Colemans side beat Belgium.I will confess that as Wales firstly equalised against Belgium, and then took the lead, a tiny part of me thought about the logistical issues that victory would cause.The win meant we left Bordeaux at lunchtime the next day and embarked on a cross-country tour of France. We got the train from Bordeaux to Paris, a car back to our base in Chantilly and packed up all of our things and stayed one more night in Englands Euro 2016 home, before driving the six hours to the Welsh base in Dinard in Brittany the next morning.We kept ourselves entertained on the car journey with a Wales playlist we put together including Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia and Stereophonics. Nick Collins talks with SSNHQs German colleagues before the quarter final between Germany and Italy in Bordeaux My travelling wasnt done as I was packed off on loan again, this time to the Welsh team of Geraint Hughes and cameraman Gagey. An eight-hour journey from Dinard to Lyon was filled with singalongs, podcasts, service station sandwiches and catching up on my soaps on my iPad. Dont let anyone tell you life on the road is glamorous.We had to do the same journey in reverse after Wales were knocked out by Portugal, except the singalongs didnt have the same cheery optimism about them as on the way down. It was when I returned to be reunited with Nick and cameraman Ben that they pointed out that I was the curse of the Home Nations. When working with England, Northern Ireland and Wales I had seen them all being knocked out of the competition as soon as I worked with them in the knockout stages…perhaps I was also the curse of the hosts in the final too! Sky Sports News HQ crew outside Stade de France ahead of Euro 2016 final Ive been away from home for just over five weeks, and whilst there are things I am excited to come home to, this tournament has given us all lots of memories and great experiences. I nicknamed our crew my France Family when we got here, and thats exactly the relationship you have with people you spend this time with. Even if that does mean the occasional cross word like siblings would have!Id say my Euro 2016 experience was summarised perfectly by a French waiter serving us lunch before we started our matchday lives on the day of the final. Ive become accustomed to a baguette (or two), and no meal would be complete without a serving of du pain. This was acknowledged by the waiter, who observed: Its unusual to see an English lady eat so much bread. I think thats my cue to go on a detox now Im home… Golden Knights Jerseys 2020 .J. — John Elway says Peyton Manning cannot stamp himself as the greatest quarterback in NFL history even if he wins the Super Bowl on Sunday. Cheap Golden Knights Jerseys.Kessy tried to show what he can do playing left wing for the Oilers in 5-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday in pre-season action.MONTREAL — Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard says she had no problem with a controversial question she fielded at last months Australian Open, moments after the biggest win of her career. The 19-year-old from Westmount, Que., had just become the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in 30 years when she was asked by an on-court female interviewer who she would like to date, if she could choose anyone in the world. Many observers quickly deemed the question sexist, with some asking whether a similar query would ever be put to a male athlete. The exchange attracted even more attention because Bouchard, apparently caught off guard by the question, blurted out an unexpected response on live TV: „Um, Justin Bieber?“ Her reference to the Canadian pop star seemed to be tongue-in-cheek. Bouchard, who will represent Canada at this weekends Federation Cup in Montreal, said Wednesday she thought the question was all in good fun and she was happy to play along. „I think it was a fine question, you know, I think its entertainment for the fans,“ Bouchard said when asked at a Fed Cup news conference if she thought the Australian Open question was sexist. „It was actually a fan question, so at the end of the day, its for the fans and, if thats what theyre curious about, well thats fine by me.“ The No. 19-ranked Bouchard said she might like to know more herself about who, for example, a certain soccer player would want to date. Sometimes, she added, it can be fun to handle questions about something other than tennis because the answers might interest a broader audience. When asked if she thought a male athlete might receive a similar question, Bouchard didnt directly respond, saying the fact shes a younger player might explain why she got such a query. &qquot;You know, they wouldnt ask Roger Federer that question — obviously, hes married and has kids,“ she said, referring to the 32-year-old Swiss tennis legend. Vegas Golden Knights Gear. . „But I dont know, maybe, I think they should (ask) other single tennis players. Why not?“ The question came after Bouchard, who was the 30th seed at the Australian Open, completed a stunning 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 upset of former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic. The victory made her the first Canadian to reach the semis at a Grand Slam since Carling Bassett-Seguso at the 1984 U.S. Open. Bouchards impressive run in Melbourne came to an end a couple of days later when she lost 6-2, 6-4 to fourth-seeded Li Na of China in the semifinal. But her accomplishments caught the attention of tennis fans in Canada and abroad, including a group of a dozen or so raucous Aussies who became her unofficial cheering section at every match. The group, which dubbed itself the „Genie Army,“ wore T-shirts that spelled her name, belted out cheers composed just for her and tossed stuffed animals to her on the court following each of her appearances. Bouchard was asked Wednesday about how much things have changed since her emergence at the Australian Open, where some commentators called her next big thing in womens tennis and a potential future Grand Slam tournament champion. „For sure theres been more attention and I think it comes with the job,“ said Bouchard, who added that more people now recognize her on the street. „It just shows, you know, if you have success on court, youll get attention off the court. But my first priority is tennis and I focus on that and make sure I get everything I need to do done. „And then if theres other attention off the court, well, thats a good thing.“ ‚ ‚ ‚
