Euro 2012 predictions, stars and goats

Not been watching all that long then?

Guilty . I started watching in 1994 but don't remember England being apart of that one. I recall them having pretty good teams in 1998 and especially 2002. Their EURO 2004 team was probably their best side in the last little while and played really well, played like they deserved to be called a soccer super power. However, ever since 2006, it has been a ugly, downward spiral.

Bare with me. A bit long winded but out of a necessity to drive home a point.

So, I was raised Catholic. Year after year of Fish Fridays, Saturday Catechism and Sunday mass. You know, the works. I, along with my two brothers was raised Catholic in what has to be described as a Old World patriarchal household, as at that time all good Slavic stock was expected to be.

And not to character profile this race or that but its a documented medical fact that Slavic males are blessed/cursed with grotesque levels of testosterone. To the untrained eye, the laid-back, easy going, hard drinking but mild mannered eastern European male is just that. But make no mistake, this is a creature which is genetically engineered to withstand the whip or to deal it out. Yielding or receiving the lash from cradle to grave with nothing more than a shrug and a grim smirk. Generation after generation after generation. History is the witness.

It is also a documented medical fact that if the average Slavic male is raised on anything other than starvation rations he will, like clockwork, enter puberty at roughly the age of 9. I **** you not.

I hope the picture I'm trying to paint here is taking shape.

So here I am with my history of having spent a good many of my youthful, most competitive and energetic years, prematurely overdosing on testosterone with my sibling rivals enduring religious studies and observances in a language we didn't understand. And yet, somehow, I still find myself hard pressed to recall any time in MY LIFE when I was MORE FU'KING BORED than today whilst watching the test between Spain and Portugal at the EUROs.

That is all. Thanks for reading. Just needed to get that off my chest.

Not a fan of Italy, but gotta hand it to them. They're finally playing the way I always said/thought they could. First time in 50 years they're not just playing for 0-0 and pk's or an opportunity to dive in the box in the 90th minute and win 1-nil. They're actually taking the game to their opponents and displaying their creativity. They look like Spain 2 years ago basically. A dream for sports gamblers because I bet (didn't check though) that they're underdogs against both Germany and Spain, but anyone who has been watching closely and objectively can see they are better than both of them.
