Soccer - This is my first post about European Cup on this blog. I really like this cup and in my opinion it is the second best soccer tournament in the world. First one of course is world cup, and then this one. In fact if Brazil and Argentina could play in the European cup, then that tournament would be even better than the world cup because the best teams would be there playing.

Anyway,  I have been unable to follow this tournment as closely as I want becasue of my stupid supposdly part time contracting job that has turned into a full time nightmare.  But no worries this Friday June 20th is my last day there so I am out of there.

Back to European cup, I think this years favoirates are Holland, Portugal, and Spain. Both of them have won their first two games so far with great superirity and both of them I predict will be there in the final 4. I just don’t know who is going to be the 4th team. I was going to suggest it would be France but after getting crushed by Holland 4 -1 they are out I predict. Germany still has a chance if they manage to win their third game and possibly they will be the team up there.  Italy is in my opinion out too becasue they lost their first game and tied the second one.

Sweden is another team that have a chance. They won against Greece but lost against Spain so if they manage to beat Russia, they would have a great chance of being in top 4.

But let’s see who really wins it all. I think the winner will be either Spain or Holland but both of them have reputation of being the chokers often coming short at the very end.  But maybe this time is different? Who knows. Also don’t underestimate the Portuguess in particular Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco. They can create wonders.

Also, I really miss England. This tournament is not as hyped up as it should be mainly because England national team is not playing in this Euro cup since they could not qualify.
