Euro Shockers

Wow, I did not see this coming!  Today, Netherlands beat Italy 3-0 and Romania tied France 0-0.

Netherlands vs. Italy(3-0)

This is a complete shocker to me.  Not that I don’t respect the Netherlands’ side, as they have a lot of talent, I just thought that Italy would win.  This changes things and may even make my predictions look stupid.  However, we are only one game in, nothing to worry.  Maybe losing their team captain has made things uneasy.

Romania vs. France(0-0) 

I really didn’t see this coming.  Romania did not win however, this should be taken as a loss for France and their supporters.  This should not have happened.  When everyone says that this group is the “group of death” they did not mean that Romania would be a killer.  As a matter of fact, they were written off–completely.

 My predictions for the death group:

  • Italy versus France will be a nice game to watch as both teams will be putting everything they have into it.  They need to to make a rebound however only one will.
  • Romania will be playing the Netherlands on their next game…they will lose.  Then they will move on to an already mad Italian team…they will lose.
  • Netherlands: My prediction was wrong and they will pass.  They will win against Romania which will put them with 6 points.  Now that this has occurred, I’m thinking that they will take Group C Champion honors.

Coming Up:

  1. Greece versus Sweden
  2. Spain versus Russia

Quick Hits

  • Man U has reported Real and does not like them pursuing Ronaldo.
  • Man City has offered Ronaldinho 200,000 pounds a week…roughly $400,000.  That’s a lot of 0′s.

Euro 2008: Group A Update

Today’s matches or should I say yesterday’s matches have faired quite well in terms of my predictions. Both the Czech Republic and Portugal won their games today.

Game 1: Czech Republic v. Switzerland

Sub Sverkos scored the lone goal of the match for the Czech side to win the game. It seemed like a pretty solid match. We all got to see the game get a little physical with the Swiss side in the books with 3 yellows.

Game 2: Portugal v. Turkey

Pepe and Raul Meireles both had goals in a Portugal shutout over Turkey. The Portugal side was superb in its win and Turkey seemed to also like the Refs book. The Turks like the Swiss also had 3 yellows.

Next Up:

Austria versus Croatia, and Germany versus Poland is next up on the Euro 2008 agenda. A little Group B action coming your way.

 Side Notes:

  • Arjen Robben will miss the opening game for the Netherlands.
  • Barcelona has signed right back Daniel Alves from Sevilla, an official announcement is due Monday.
  • Ronaldinho the current Man City target is also garnering interest from Chelsea and AC Milan…this will get interesting.

Poor Wayne. He worked hard but didn't have any service. Shocked that United went out, but its all they deserved.

hey jason, nice article, and definitely something to think about. It is true that there is a huge gulf between say club soccer, high school soccer, and college level soccer. You know that I want to play at the NCAA level, but I do understand that, realistically, I'm just not
