You could hear the explosions during the game. A lot of countries are not going to want to play there.

In German tv they also said French players heard the bombings were supposed to be inside Stade de France but the terrorists failed to enter the stadium.

Yeah, lets go all of us and hide under a rug and cry and moan until we die out of starvation.

Be serious.

You cant let terrorists interfer with your everyday life or you are allowing them to win.

Euro will be played in France and you wont be safer anywhere else in the world as you will be in the cities where it is being Played.

Yesterdays horror just caught them off guard, wont happen again.

France is a major city and they didnt see it coming. Other countries would be hesitant to play over there. They actually attacked outside the stadium and a few died. Not sure why they didnt make it in, but I wouldnt feel very safe over there right now.

With the Charlie Hebdo thing, or the guy shooting in a train from Amsterdam to Paris and now yesterdays events it is hard to believe it wont happen again.

Its basically impossible it wont happen again. It will and it might become even worse than what we saw yesterday.

Lets not fly to New York , just in case it happens again...
Lets not go to Madrid in case it happens again.
Lets not go to London in case it happens again.

Seriously...............

I visited the damm Egypt a week after the coup de etat in 2013, nothing happened to me.
You arent 100% sure in any place in the world but if have the measures to avoid things happening and you are aware of potential problems you can be 99% sure in any place.

One of the Paris attackers tried to enter the Stade de France during Friday's friendly between France and Germany but was turned away when his explosive vest was discovered, a security guard and a police officer have told the Wall Street Journal.

The man had a ticket and tried to enter the game about 15 minutes after it had started, but security officers found the device when they frisked him at the gate.

He then detonated the vest while attempting to get away from security officials, according to a guard who was stationed elsewhere in the stadium and briefed on the incident.

A police officer told the Wall Street Journal the attacker had planned to detonate the vest inside the stadium.

The blast was soon followed by a second explosion outside the stadium, with a third happening at a nearby McDonald's.

The newspaper said one civilian had died in the attacks, while French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet earlier told TVInfosport+ that "three people have been killed and several injured after a bomb explosion in front of stadium door number J."

Sounds like security guards did a good job then.
Luckily, the that assailant chose a poor point in time to get in. I would guess the chance to get through security is much higher in a mass crowd than alone a couple minutes after the game started. Plus, even if he didn't make it through while the mass was getting in he could've still done a lot of damage.

Hungary qualified. Seems like the end of days is near.

Glad to see that the Republic of Ireland qualified! That leaves England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all in Euro 2016. It's good to see football in other parts of the UK/Ireland flourishing. Just makes England's backwards trajectory all the more vexing.

Wow Turkey hasn't lost a single game in 2015. 7 win 3 draw.

You and I don't agree about much, but I'm with you 100% here. Don't let these **** influence your life in any tangible way. There is danger everywhere. Of course it will happen again, but it can happen anywhere.
