Euro 2008. The reason for the lack of posting lately. The timetable for my body had taken a reverse during this period. I am sleeping when you guys are relaxing in front of the pc or tv. Wide awake when you guys are dreaming about me. Haha. That was a very bad joke.
Well, got to say that it had been quite a fascinating competition thus far. Not as much shock as the previous edition as most of the favourites got through to the quarter final. For those losers who vowed not to watch Euro 2008 due to England not being able to qualify for it, I think you guys don't know what you are missing out on. I think it is refreshing not to read all about the supposed "best team" in the world on The New Paper for a change. The teams that caught my eye thus far are Portugal, Croatia, Netherlands and Spain. In fact, these four teams are my tip for the semi final.
My personal favourite is definitely Netherlands follow by Portugal. I had always admired teams that play the game as it is supposed to be play. Attacking and trying to win the game instead of trying to bore the opposition into making a mistake and scoring a fluke or lucky goal. Teams like France, Italy and Greece come to mind. It is good riddance that France and Italy will likely be out after tonight as they are way too over hyped. These two teams are aging and it gave me great pleasure to see Netherlands giving them a good hiding. I had never really forgiven the Italy team of 2000 for denying Netherlands the final slot they so fully deserved. 2 missed penalties during regulation time and 2 more in the penalty shootout. It is poetic justice now if Netherlands were to send them out by losing to Romania. World Champions? Ha. Kiss my ass!!
My school term will begin in three weeks time. To be honest, the reality of me having to spend Tues and Thurs night at school for the future 3 months had not really sunk in yet. Here I am, still enjoying my leisure time reading, surfing the web and playing sports with all my friends. All these will have to take a back step when my school term starts. Well, no pain no gain. To be honest, I am looking forward to it as I really want to get that degree. The fact that I am working and paying for it all by myself makes me even more determined to get my hands on it.
Excuse me now as I try my very best to sleep so that I can wake up while you guys are dreaming about me . :)
