Fear not, football fans, for while Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Ireland and – say it ain’t so! – England are very much out of Euro 2008, YouTube is on hand to provide you with more than enough 11-a-side action to dull the pain.


Not only do we have direct lines into clubs like Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, thanks to the likes of The Daily Mirror, The Sun and ITN, you’ll never go short of professional punditry. But this being YouTube, we also have channels that add whole new dimensions to sports talk.


Exhibit A: Zoe The Hot Spur…






Exhibit B: The Gaffer, a football-mad Welshman based in Florida…






On top of all this Videosport offers YouTube UK users the ability watch highlights from the qualifying games of all the teams who actually made it to Euro 2008, so you can revisit your national failure over and over again. Don't say we never give you anything...


Finally, if we've neglected to mention your favourite football channel (or maybe you run one yourself), then send it our way. There’s nothing we enjoy more than hearing a fresh take on the Beautiful Game.


Have fun,
