Euro 2008 Kickoff
Footy fans, today is the day that Euro 2008 finally gets under way in Austria and Switzerland. It will be great to have some actual games to talk about instead of the usual discussion of injuries and non-stop transfer speculation (looking at you, Cristiano Ronaldo.) There should be some exciting match-ups and a few upsets along the way. Greece will be looking to defend their surprise title from four years ago, which would probably be even more shocking than their triumph in 2004. Depending on who you believe, the Greeks are looking at odds of between 25-1 and 30-1, which is better than the 100-1 odds put on them back in 2004. Regardless, a winning bet this year will buy you a lot of baklava at next year's Greek Festival. TWG thinks the final four will look like this: Germany, France, Italy, and Russia, with France beating Germany 3-2 in the final. Your thoughts?

hi, so your blog is about soccer? Is that a fun game for grown-ups? Do the people at the soccer games drink a lot of beer? I only like sports where the spectators get really drunk and beat each other up.
