This must be a special tournament – my favourites are really doing well! Germany really lived up to their reputation as cup favourites. Sweeter fact was that they beat Portugal, who were generally expected to sweep aside Germany. They were propelled by none other than Michael Ballack, the only Chelsea player left in the Euro 2008 now. (more…)
So it’s Big Phil then. Luiz Felipe Scolari would take charge at Chelsea from 1st July. Allright it’s a great news but was he the best choice available to take Chelsea forward? See I’m absolutely delighted with Scolari’s appointment (after Grant I’d be delighted with anyone’s appointment) but don’t have answers for all my questions!

There were no freebies. All four matches so far have been reasonably well contested. Portugal and Germany had better scorelines but they were made to sweat. The hosts Switzerland and Austria surely deserved something from their matches but were unlucky.
You know that I’m supporting Germany this Euro 2008. While I’m kind of confident that Germany will win the trophy, I’ll tell you how exactly they would achieve it. Here is the tournament map on who progresses, and who gets eliminated, and who goes how far. It makes sense to go by each group.
God bless Euro championships. But for the Euro there would be no football this month. I just can’t imagine a footieless month. Of course the transfer rumours are quite spicy and keep you interested even if there is no action on the pitch. There is no substitute for watching football. Roll on Euro. So who am I supporting this Euro? And what is the rationale?
