EURO2008 :- Victorious Spain
Much to the surprise of most people, Spain defeated favorites Germany by the one single goal early this morning. In all honesty nobody expected them to loose and I am sure there are many fans that are in mourning (Sorry Gallivanter). Not having won a major title in many a year, the spanyards looked promising early in the competition but nobody [...]
EURO2008 : End of Turkish Delight
It actually saddens me that Germany defeated Turkey early this morning. I have been known at times to be a German fan, especially when the Oranje are defeated, but this EURO something inside me wanted to support the Underdogs, and the Turks were underdogs in every definition I could think off. It was trilling that they scored the first goal at the [...]
EURO2008 : Goodbye Italy, Hello SemiFinals
And then there were 4. As I predicted, Spain defeat Italy in penalty shoot-outs. Its not the best way to advance, but advance the Russians have, leaving the Italians where they belong, out of the SemiFinals, hehe. I do think though besides the German fans in Malaysia, most Malaysians are out of teams to support, as I don't have any friends who [...]
EURO2008 : Death of Oranje
Oh no! I totally did not expect that! I wanted the Oranje to win this euro! sigh, now I can't wear any of my many Oranje jerseys for at least 2 years. Sigh. What happend to Total Football? I think the Russians showed how much they really want to win this, and it looks like they may go all the way. Sigh, the EURO journey seems so empty now.
EURO2008 : The Turks won!
Last night I had a change of heart and I thought the Turks might win, though I didn't think it was through penalties, but I didn't update my predictions either as I thought that was just wishful thinking, but lo and behold, they didn't play half bad, and managed to bring the end of the game to 1-1 from an early deficit. When it comes to Penalty [...]
EURO2008 : Achtung Baby!
As predicted by muah, the Germans defeated the Portuguese in style, though it was not walk in the park. Goals scored by Schweinsteiger (22nd minute) and Klose (26th minute) gave the Germans an early lead. It was not until the 40th minute did Portugal score its first goal, via Nuno Gomes. Micheal "Kayu" Ballack then incremented the lead at the 61 [...]
EURO2008 : And then there were 8
As Spain defeated Greece 2-1, and even then I think Spain let them have 1 goal, just to make sure they were not the only team in this years EURO which failed to score a goal, most people were interested to know who will Holland face in the quarterfinals. I predicted a Swedish victory, but I was rather surprised to see the Russians defeat them [...]
