Amazing Turkey manages to tie Croatia on a last second goal – then win the penalty shootouts.

How many times do we see a last second goal in football? Not many. Today was one of these days, and Turkey managed to do miracles again. But let’s start from the beginning. I went to watch Turkey vs. Croatia on a very popular football bar here in NYC. As I found my corner spot [...]

Euro 2008 Results – Jun 19th: sour goodbye to Scolari.

And so it ends the Big Phil reign with the Portuguese. Not the ideal “tchau” as a weak Portugal was defeated by a booming Germany. Well deserved for the Germans, and a lot of frustration for the Lusos. Maybe that will bring C. Ronaldo’s cockiness a little bit down, maybe not. But the fact is, [...]

EURO 2008 Results – June 17th. Bye bye Romania and France.

Another bye-bye-time-to-go-home day at EURO 2008. Only the Netherlands was 100% qualified to the quarter finals. Romania needed at least a tie or victory to get into the next phase. Italy and France, repeating 2006 World Cup’s final, needed a victory and Romania to lose in order to qualify. And to make me a little [...]
