Ah, just 3 days away and it is going to start! The European Championship! 16 countries from all over Europe have qualified and are going to decide who is the best. I know this is a bit painful for our friends from England, for they are not present at the tournement. A shame, for they have a great amount of great players. Terry, Beckham, Ferdinand, Rooney.....They were eliminated by Russia and Croatia, and the last is to be considered a outsider for the title. Russia, being coached by Guus Hiddink -another Dutchman- is some kinda dark horse. They have a lot of players from the squad that has won the Uefa Cup, Zenit St Petersburg.
As for the chances of Holland, we are optimistic every tourny. We always have top players and this year it is nothing different with players like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robin van Persie, Van der Sar, Van der Vaart, Schneijder, Huntelaar, Robben. We are nonetheless part of the so called Poule of Death, with France, Italy and Rumania.
We start vs Italy next monday, and man, am I excited! Friday we're facing France, and then the week after we play Rumania. Idealy we are qualified for the next round, but it will be tough, for Italy is the current WorldChampion and France is the runner-up. Well, we'll see and if there are questions about this great game, which is definatly not a WOMANS sport -because the only good womans football I have seen was in Brasil- feel free to ask, I'm passionate!
