Euro 2008 Browser

According to a Portuguese gypsy woman, Portugal will meet Germany in the quarter final and go on to win 3-1. Then, at the semi final stage, Portugal is going to beat Croatia 2-1. Now the final match is a tricky one, either Spain or the Netherlands is going to make it.

The Gypsy woman also mentioned that Netherland has a slightly better chance of making it to the final but still, Portugal with Ronaldo, Deco, Nuno Gomes and Pepe will emerge as the victors, hence, redeeming Portugal defeat in the last Euro. Italy can wave bye bye from the group stage because according to this Gypsy woman as she whispers to my ears (because this was taboo), the wrath of Zidane hasn't subside and it's a 7 generation curse to Italian football.

The French by the way, since the departure of Zidane, has been playing a very confusing game, sometimes they play like an African team, sometimes as French. For all I care, Portugal has been playing an entertaining football ala Brasilian and I'm so impressed with the short pass play. Pepe reminds me of my favourite defender, Matthias Sammer but he has to sometimes play it low especially against Germany. From yesterday's match against the generic and boring Czech, there were some gripping moments during the last moments of the match from the complacency of the backline. Pepe must tone it down like the way he plays in La Liga and must concentrate on being only a stopper.

Anyhow, whatever the result is, I think Portugal is the most entertaining team in the Euro so far and they deserve to emerge as victors. FORCA PORTUGAL!

p/s: How I wish Pepe would join Man U next season! It will be a blast to have a such an unorthodox centreback!!!(dream on!)
