So England aren't there, sad face, but there's some good games to be watched and after everyone's played their first game I thought I'd let you know my thoughts about the competition in general. I originally tipped Germany to win, and I still think they will, but I had tipped Italy for the runners up spot and after Holland had them comfortably beat I withdraw that tip and place either Holland or Spain in the runners up spot. It's good to see Robben (previously with Chelsea, and now with Real Madrid) is fit to play France because I had previously tipped him to be the player of the championships. The holders of the cup, Greece were absolutely terrible and kept passing the ball between their three centre backs and not going anywhere so they deserved to lose. Co-hosts Switzerland are out after losing to Turkey on a pitch that would have better being called a swimming pool and as I type this Germany have just kicked off with Croatia, my tip for the underdogs. Keep an eye on the Croatians, with Manchester City's Corluka in defence, Niko Kranjcar in midfield, and Budan and Olic up front the're a team not to be underestimated, and I've drawn them in the sweep so they better do well, lol. There's only really been about three or four good matches so far so fingers crossed the tournament picks up and the goals come flooding in, and not the rain like in the Switzerland and Turkey game. One good thing though is I can't remember anyone being sent off. Here's to a fair tournament. I'll report back when I've got something more interesting to say.
