OK, so after a very long and unnecessary hiatus, we're back. And with a look at the European Cup, the Stanley cup will be looked at tomorrow.
The Euro cup is in full swing with the Azzuri sneaking into the second round and gaining momentum, hell, they may pull it off. But with the way they are playing right now, it would be hard to see the Netherlands getting knocked off. The Dutch rested almost every starter and still handily beat Romania. Germany has not impressed and Spain will likely rest they stars against Greece today so perhaps that will give them a boost against Italy on Sunday. Portugal is still around and look like they mean business. How the Turks knocked off the Czechs is beyond me but they won't go much farther.
The officiating has been so up and down that one never knows what to expect. It looks like a hockey game one minute and guys are flopping like a land locked fish the next. Either way there beautiful game needs to get away from it.
So, enjoy the tourney and don't take your eyes off that prize.
