Future Sights: Euro 2008

Shortly after the Champions League final ended, I began thinking what was next for me. There is always the standard Saturday game to watch: Argentinian League on Telemundo and Mexican League on Univision. However, I began wondering what would get me excited.

Euro 2008 does!

I am excited to see this. Its like watching a pre- World Cup to see who is the best in Europe. Although I can’t see some of my favorite Latin American teams: Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and many others. It still is fun to see a true show of power and skill.

Who I am going to love watching?:

England: The power of England is unexplainable and they are very talented. I think something of note is the first international tourney for new coach Fabio Capello. Another interesting thing to watch is the relationship between him and David Beckham if the former selects the latter to the Euro Roster. JUST KIDDING!

Italy: The defending World Cup Champions will be tested to see if they still have their 06 form and play. However, not much has changed since then. The roster will be pretty much the same as 2006 with some exceptions. Angelo Perruzzi, Buffon’s back-up retired after the World Cup, leaving the 2nd string position open. Aside from that, we shall see who is selected to the roster.

Spain: I like Spain, from the club powers to the international side. Maybe its the caliber of their defensive anchor, Carlos Puyol, or superb keeper in Iker Casillas. All I know is that, I also enjoy watching them.
