Euro 2008

Another month of beer and football. In the absence of any home nations, I'll be supporting the Czech Republic - one year in Liberec beats six months in Sicily, and they do have a (soon to be ex-) Newcastle player in defence. Watch them stumble through the group stages, then go and lose to the Germans on penalties in their first big game. Nothing much changes there, then - except Plasil and Jankulovski are infinitely more likeable than Stevie G and Cashley Cole.

The Czechs might be in it for longer too, if the Italians keep playing like that...!

But then, isn't it always a shame to see Italy struggling?

Awful!

It will be character building for the Italians and French to see their teams ‘underachieve’, and experience the pain and disappointment of what it’s like to be an England fan. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. :~)
