^%SO THEY WON(*

Thanks to Torres, who finally scored, Spain won Euro 2008 beating Germany. Spain deserved to win, they play well and energetic which makes it really fun to watch for us spectators.

^%VILLA WON'T PLAY&$

Sorry to say Jasmine, but David Villa won't play the final. Apparently he suffered a muscle strain. They should still be able to win though.

%^ESPAÑA CAMPEONES~#

So it was Spain against Russia last night and Spain won, as expected. Spain will meet Germany in the final and now all that has to happen is Spain has to win and then I'll be happy. They seem more than able to win this, so I hope they do. Hopefully David Villa will return for the final, well I'm sure he will, 'cause Torres is great, but last night he could have scored so many, but failed many times. And it would be nice for Jasmine, one of his biggest fans! :-)

!~RAFAEL VAN DER FART@^

My mother told me about this today after coming back from work so I looked it up on the internet. I didn't see it as it was during the match between The Netherlands and Romania and the match between Italy and Frnace seemed to be the one more interesting, so we watched that one at home. So we didn't see this clip that was shown during the match. It shows Dutch player Rafael van der Vaart on the bench with fellow Dutchies Wesley Sneijder, Joris Mathijsen en Nigel de Jong as he farts and the other guys tuck away in their shirts to escape the smell. Yuck! But oh well, it happens. We all do it. Look at the expression on van der Vaart's face though. Looks like a little kid being caught at doing something he isn't supposed to. Funny stuff. :)

*)CLOCKWORK ORANGE NO LONGER TICKS#$

So we both lost, The Netherlands and Italy. There goes our entire group. First Romania and France and now the other two. For the first time I was really supportive of our Dutch team, I guess I felt more connected to them in Canterbury then normally is the case. But on Saturday evening they reminded me once again why normally I'm not that supportive. Their game play was so slow. I wanted them to be dynamic and fresh like the Russians were, but apparently they didn't manage to bring back that fighting spirit that had brought them this far.



Yesterday Spain got through, which was very well deserved. Overall I liked watching the match as both teams really tried and especially the first half went by in no time. Lots of tears at the Italian's side. Well, they were world champions for a while. It's time for another team to shine. I think Spain has a pretty good chance to win Euro 2008 and I hope they do.
