Euro 2008 finally kicks off

June 10th, 2008 · Posted by Skuds in Life · No Comments · Life

OK, so it officially started at the weekend, but it hasn’t been terribly exciting before today. The Croatia result was good for those of us who drew them in the sweepstake ((having the boss get Austria was just the icing on the cake)) but it was hardly a game to remember. Today though: the Holland/Italy game was as brilliant as the France/Romania one was dull.

A few dodgy decisions – I thought the first goal was a mile offside. The Italians thought it was offside. Even the Dutch thought it was offside. The second goal was fantastic though, and it was good old-fashioned end-to-end stuff. The next time the Netherlands play I’ll make a point of seeing the whole thing and not just the highlights.

My twenty-five quid might be riding on Croatia, but my heart is with the Netherlands. Rooting for two teams just doubles my chances of supporting the winning side in a tournament for the first time in… well, ever really.
