FOOTBALL: EURO2008 COMING SOON!

The EURO2008 starts on 7 June 2008. Somehow, it feels like it is too soon. I mean I was expecting it to start at least mid or end of June 2008. Some huge names already out of it are Cannavaro, Babel as well as most likely Altintop, Van Persie and Vieira.

Some nice matches to watch for me in the group stages are:
8 June 2008 19:45UK Germany VS. Poland
9 June 2008 19:45UK Netherlands VS. Italy
10 June 2008 17:00UK Spain VS. Russia
11 June 2008 17:00UK Czech Republic VS. Portugal
12 June 2008 17:00UK Croatia VS. Germany
13 June 2008 19:45UK Netherlands VS. France
14 June 2008 17:00UK Sweden VS. Spain
16 June 2008 17:00UK Austria VS. Germany
17 June 2008 19:45UK France VS. Italy

Of course, the strongest on paper are still Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Germany. Upsets may happen and we don't need to go very far to assure this when Greece won it during EURO2004 with a 1-0 win over Portugal.
