Euro2008

Didnt really know that i can be soccer frantic till recently.... think partially is for the fun of it and partially trying to earn some milk powder money haha but in the end, i didnt make any as the dark horses win for most of the times.

Stayed up late for the Italy vs Romania with BE's friends drinking at home and tot Italy will win but they got a draw instead. There shld be one additional goal for Italy just before the half time but somehow or another the referee think otherwise and said it is an offside. haizzzz super irritating.... Anyway I got a laugh out of this match as the players in the same team bump onto each other with their head and caused one to be sent out due to his injuries and the other one to have a big plaster on his forehead. haha

The very first thing i will do each morning is to switch on teletext to check out the scores... I tot Portugal will win Germany but in the end, Germany defeated Portugal with 3-2. What happened? No more Christiano Ronaldo who earns GBP 20,000 per week with abt SGD 1000 per hour if i got the figures correct.

Next is the Croatia vs Turkey match... in terms of skills and the scores from previous matches, the former is so much better but think they are simply unlucky as most of the "expected" goals either hit the pole or got saved by the goal keeper. This match is the most exciting one which i have seen as they score a goal each at the very last minute of extra time and leads to penalty kickoff with turkey going into semis. I managed to watch the exciting last bit as i was awoken by BE who tried to cover me with blanket.

So from now on, only "pure" watching....
