Its Thursday lunchtime and I am sat on the Eurostar heading to Lille. In a couple of hours I will be watching the classification matches and one of the semi final matches at Eurobasket 2015.

I’ve never been to Eurobasket before so I’m not sure what to expect. I watched the qualifying rounds (admittedly not every game) and while some seemed to have packed stadiums and loud fans others did not. This is the final stages, and I believe that tickets sold out, so the venue should be packed and loud.
Update:Iit is now past midnight but I have only just managed to get Wi-fi access. Will post an update on today’s games later.
