EURO 2008.

The event that kept me wide awake at night. Gives me a reason to wake up later than usual and sleep in the day like a pig too. At least I wun be rambling about how bored I am at night. June hols are coming to an end, wonder if I could keep this up till end of the season. I better do. I subscribed to his wretched Channel 30 for a season pass and it costs me $10.70. Dang.

Some highlights....

Most BORING match: France vs Croatia.
Everyone expected France to pull this. Not only this match ended up goal-less, but there was not enough excitement. This is the first match I fell asleep halfway, woke up and saw the 0-0 on lefthand corner of the screen, dozed off, then, woke up, still seeing the players somewhere in the midfield, playing 'monkey in the middle' with each other... zzzzzz. Anw, Henry wasn't playing.

Most SURPRISING match: Netherlands vs Italy.
Yup, Netherlands whacked once champions and giants Italy. 3-0. Whoa. Who would've expect that? I didn't. Honestly, with alot of Dutch players injured, eg van Persie, I thought it would be the Italians' game. I mean, the Italians have Del Piero and Materrazzi. Van Baston is one happy dude for his last competition.

Most EXCITING match: Spain vs Russia.
Yeah! I'm a supporter of Spain since last Euro and the World Cup. So naturally, I was rooting for them. Russia got England out of Euro during the qualifiers, so I thought it will be really exciting. Russia gave Spain a hell of a time. Guess they were just unlucky. This game kept me at the edge of my seat. Spain's speedy counter-attacks were phenominal! David Villa's first hat-trick in an International game and Fabregas' first Internatonal goal! 4-1! Darling rooted for Russia (he likes to root for the underdogs - last Euro was Greece and Greece won it), so I kinda got f at by him during 2nd half (now he hated the Spaniards). Guess he wun be speaking to me for a while. Poor me. Ah well, I couldn't hide my elation anw. Serves me right. Hehe.

I'm rooting for Portugal as well. Yeah!

Ok, next match is Sweden and Greece. That's a chance for me to drool all over my fav Calvin Klein underwear model, Ljungberg!!!! Heheh....
