Euro Cup Fever

For those of you fellow SportsToilet fans who love soccer as much as I do, the Euro Cup has been a pure joy to watch up until now. After the first matches have been completed in group play I wanted to let you know who has impressed me thus far. Portugal looks fast and untouchable. This team has come into their own over the past few years. The great days of Luis Figo have been replaced by the most dangerous player in Cristiano Ronaldo. Germany looks mighty and is ready to run over people with Michael Ballack anchoring the midfield and Lukas Podolski scoring goal after goal. France looks scared. I don't need to say anything more about that. Netherlands looks great in the Orange and they handed the Italians a horrible loss the other day. After watching Spain today and the impact Fernando Torres had on the game, they might actually win some European silverware for the first time in 44 years. When making a pick on who I expect to win it all I have to go with a Portugal and Germany final. The interesting finale will be with a team built for speed and one built to beat you down. Ultimately Cristiano Ronaldo continues his dream year when they beat Germany to make amends for losing in the last World Cup. Take a look here for a list of the schedule of all the great games. Tune in and enjoy.
