Euro 2008

[Louis VI the Fat]

Zenit provides the quality.

Yeah I was wondering about that all tournament. I followed Zeniths brilliant performances earlier, and was wondering what became of all those players. Those Russian names don't stick in my mind, so I was never sure whether Hiddink was playing them or not. Until I saw Russia play tonight. What a delight!

Hiddink - Holland...hmmm. Should be good. Spain will collapse against Italy. Not a chance. Part of the reason why Spain always bottles tournaments is their mental inability to beat their fierce rivals France or Italy. They haven't won from Italy since before WWII. And have never won from France at all. Something in their minds about these games. An inferiority complex maybe?

Portugal I think will reach the final. Turkey - Croatia can go either way, could be a real winner, this game.

I needed Henrik's header to sneak under the bar for my points.
Ah well, the boy Arshavin did me proud.
