Euro 2008 Team of the tournament (revised)

June 29, 2008

GK – Casillas (SP)

The Spanish captain, only just 27, played very well in the opening stages and then kept his team in the game, after a point blank save with his foot. He then proceeded to make 2 very good penalty saves to elevate Spain to their first Semi-finals for a long time.

June 28, 2008

Vienna tomorrow night, hopefully without a storm cutting out the power.

At last the Final is here and I’m gutted about it. I want this tournament to go on forever but on Monday morning, I’m going to be down in the doldrums on the way to work as if I’ve just been dumped by Cheryl Cole for a womanizing Chelsea defender. This Euros has been t [...]

Outplayed and outclassed by a Turkish B team, a team with no chance of winning Euro 2008, average at best, the worst Ubermenschen for a long time, yet the Germans have some how managed to reach yet another final. Are they lucky or are they quite simply a tournament machine? These stats suggest the latter. [...]

Friday 20th June

As there is a delay in my writing of these blogs by a couple of days it’s now Saturday and I’m sat on an Easyjet flight back to England. I really don’t feel like writing much as I’m so depressed over Friday nights events, so, if you don’t mind readers we’ll skip Thursday and move straight to Friday.

Supporting Croatia? It’s just like supporting England

June 23, 2008

Saturday 21st June

I’m writing this article sat, post shower, in the room of our hotel by Vienna Airport. I still cannot comprehend how we’ve lost a game we dominated and scored in the final minute of. It does not make sense. It must be wrong, it is surely us in the semi final against Germany. Isn’t it? [...]

Diary of a Croatian fan at Euro 2008, part 7

June 19, 2008

Tuesday 17th June

The day started slowly as we hadn’t actually get to bed until 4-30am. Thankfully we don’t need to get to the media centre until 1-30pm for the press conference so we can have a bit of a lie in. The first surprise of the day comes just as I return from the shower, I knock on the door of potting shed number one and instead of hea [...]

Sell, sign or stick…?

June 19, 2008

Who do you admire? Love? Hate? Who would you sell, sign, or stick?

Now, first things first… We don’t mean “stick” as in keep hold of. Oh no. We mean “stick” as in stick two, long, knuckle-bearing fingers up at, as if to say, “Do one”.

Looking at teams selectively, where better to start than the “Big Three”? (Liverpool fans – “Ca [...]
