I don’t know if you are following the Euro2008, but it is one of the most exciting sports competitions.  A part of its greatness is that it is very unpredictable.  France has done a terrible job finishing with just one point, the previous winners Greece also did not do much,  and England did not even qualify, which allowed underdogs like Croatia and Russia to step it up and prove themselves.

For those who don’t know, after the group phase has finished the number one team in Group A plays against the number two team in Group B.  Consequently, the number one team in Group B plays the number two team in Group B.  It’s the same for Groups C and D.  The next games are Croatia-Turkey, Netherlands-Russia and Spain-Italy (those are all direct elimination).

Not so long ago, I remember that one of my friends was asked if people in Africa wear shoes when they play football.  What can I say, Television does wonders.
