EUROZONE

Hotel hikes
Apparently, there will only be a handful of England fans at the Euros. Why? Simple. Most can’t afford the mad prices Ukrainian hotels are charging. A room at the Agat Hotel in Donetsk – where England play France on 11 June – normally costs £84 a night. On the night of the England game, it’s £984. Don’t they know there’s a recession on?

Dirty protest
Ukrainian Yulia Kovpachik, 23, showed her concerns about a potential increase in sex tourism during Euro 2012 by going topless and trying to grab the trophy when it was on public display in Kiev. Getting semi-naked seems like a weird way of making her point, but whatever works for her…

SAV'S SCOUTING REPORT

MY GOLDEN BOOT TIPS

3rd: Fernando Llorente
Llorente
has been outstanding for Athletic Bilbao this season, so should be in top form for Spain, too.

2nd: Mario Gomez
The big German will play a key role for his nation and, alongside teammate Lukas Podolski, will be a handful.

1st: Robin van Persie
We see week in, week out what he can do in the Prem, so it’s hard to bet against him in a Dutch shirt.

HOST WITH THE MOST...

EUROVISION

POLAND!
The Poles have opted out of it this year. Which seems a bit miserable…

Ukraine!
…But that’s a better option than the crap Europop served up by “Gaitana”.
