Euro 2008

Portugal 2 - 1 Germany

I hope it's the other way around but I can't see it happening.

I'm almost pleased that sweden went. Perhaps now my country's team will sack Lagerbäck and get someone who values and emphesizes real football. As was brilliantly illustrated by the russian team the key is to have a good offence. Defence is a requirement yes, but that wont put the ball in the other goal, and to base the entire game startegy on it is just plain shameful. Out with the old and in with the new, and with luck I will never have to once again hear how the national football team got ready for a match by drinking tea and eating cookies.

As for what went wrong with this match, I shouldn't even have to state the obvious. Considering the hype in sweden regarding this team this is truly a good wake up call. That ridiculous commercial with lagerbäck in Gladiator only shows that they have no focus on the challenge up ahead. All the best to Russia, a good team which understands the key to victory even though they'll most likely get beat by the invinsible Holland.
