I haven't been watching but I've been keeping up with the winners...
And RUSSIA WON AGAINST HOLLAND WOOHOO FOR THE MOTHERCOUNTRY!!
I'm very excited about that hahaha...and I think I'm going to start actually watching now.
Anyway..discuss.
I am such a sports buff and I have been watching Euro Cup 08 and goodness the outcome of these teams it is unbelieveable...you should NEVER count the underdogs out because they are the ones that have been doing well.
So for those of you who haven't watched it here is the laydown:
GERMANY BEAT PORTUGAL so PORTUGAL is out and GERMANY makes it to the Semi-finals!!
Next was CROACIA and TURKEY and boy was this a REALLY great game...eveyone thought that CROACIA had it because they were the favouriate to win but TURKEY came out on top in a shoot out. CROACIA scored in overtime but it doesn't work the same as hockey where if a team scores it is over they have to finish the time...anyways with 3 seconds left TURKEY tied the game and it had to go to shoot out!!! This was def a shocking game but so awesome to watch. Anyways....because TURKEY won they move to the semi-finals and face GERMANY!!
OF course you just mentioned that RUSSIA BEAT NETHERLANDS. Netherlands were the faviourate going in since they were unbeatable and surprise, surprise they got beaten...it was an AWESOME game to watch and really intense but RUSSIA came up on top and now is headed to the Semi-Finals. Now who will they play is the questions of tomorrows game of SPAIN and ITALY...SPAIN is the faviourate to win since they haven't lost a game but where you have one a few your time ends sooner or later but one never knows in soccer. So if ITALY or SPAIN wins they play RUSSIA and it is the final for times and whoever wins those games move on to the finals!!!
I am of course going for ITALY since I am Italian so I have to support my team. Either way I will be happy for them. This has been a really great EURO CUP so far and I have enjoyed EVERY MINUTE of it!!
Anyways...I think I put my two sense in!! hehehehe sorry I just love a ton of sports and when I talk about it I just can't stop!!
