euro04 - with xtra greece!!!

whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how many of u were expecting THIS???? Greece walks away with top honours in the Euro cup 2004!!!my thinking mind refused to believe it but somehow i had a premonition that greece was gonna do the unthinkable...i never stated my views on this in public for fear of being ridiculed by every football fan i knew...maybe i've become psychic with something wierd like esp or something...i'll have to make some more predictions and see if they turn out to be true...then i'll have another point to add to my cv ;-)...i take the risk of offending someone's sense of intellect by stating that greece won because their team worked like a well-greeced machine(hehehehe)...next time i'll make sure that i make my premonitions public so that someone may gain by putting some money on the right team!!!...just one more thing about greece-hats off coz the winner takes it all!!!
p.s. it was really funny to hear the hindi commentary (it is funny when somebody on television pronounces the 'ch' in charisteas like the one in 'child'...apart from a lot of other gaffes of course)

football fever

the group stages are finally over...now starts the real fun, the knockout stage!!!a lot of big names have made an early exit from the tournament...the mighty italians, the proud germans, and the fiesty spaniards have failed to make it to the quarter finals... there is a surprise package though...minnows greece have made it, even though they'll have to face the defending champs and favorites france in the qf...the hosts portugal will face dark horses england who made it through with some excellent performances by the young player rooney...sweden faces holland which boasts of players like van nistelrooy and davids and will be favorites for this match...the otyer scandinivian nation which has made it is denmark who'll face off with the czech team...in short should be a hell of a great experience coming up...i do hope that my favorites france make it all the way through...VIVE LES BLEUS!!!
