Spain became Champions of Europe for only the second time in their history overnight, casting aside below-par Germany 1-0 in the final of Euro 2008. It’s no secret that I was going for Germany in this one and had been following them for much of tournament but I have to say that Spain were good value [...]

It seems ironic that at the same time that Arsenal are running ‘Emmanuel Adebayor Week’ on their official website the player’s agent is proclaiming his move to AC Milan as a virtual done-deal. Indeed, Adebayor’s agent Vincenzo Morabito was quoted on Studio Sport – which, from what I can gather is a Dutch TV show or channel - [...]

Just a quick one tonight as I’ve had a lonnnnnnnnng day at work and am about to dash out the door for some Thai food. Update: Thai food was good. Gael Clichy has revealed that he didn’t have to think twice when signing a new contract with Arsenal a few weeks ago. He had the [...]

The first day of no football since the start of the Euro 2008 has left the journalists with little substance to write about today. But write about things they must continue to do if they are to earn their keep and – surprise, surprise – they’ve chosen to rely on their old friend transfer speculation. First [...]

So Milan vice-president Adrian Galliano says it’s ‘Adebayor or nothing’ does he? Well, he better get prepared for a summer of these guys then… What do you think? PS. Good to see Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portuguese divers fail again! Go Germany! Voice your thoughts on the Adebayor-Milan saga by leaving a comment.

So, just as I predicted, Russia are through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 after outclassing Sweden 2-0 overnight. It’s just a pity that Andrei Arshavin didn’t net the first or I would have made quite a little bit of cash on a first goalscorer bet. Ah well. You have to marvel at the brilliance [...]

France are out of Euro 2008 and it’s nothing less than they deserve after three truly horrible performances against Romania, the Netherlands and World Cup holders Italy. Just how Raymond Domenech’s side managed to score just one goal in the tournament with a squad which included Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Karim Benzema and Samir Nasri is [...]

Goodness gracious me. How the bloody hell did the Turks just do that? 2-0 down with 15 minutes ago and in the blink of an eye they had not only forced penalties but gone on to win the game. It was one of the best comebacks I have ever witnessed and just another glowing example [...]

Hey there. Next to nothing going on today aside from another night of superb Euro 2008 action. I have to say that Spain’s win over Sweden surprised me a little bit. For me they still need a good test before they can be considered one of the favourites for the title but things are going [...]

It’s all a bit transfery today in the world of Arsenal with Emmanuel Adebayor, Alexander Hleb and Barcelona’s Yaya Toure dominating the headlines. First up is Togolese striker Adebayor who has again been linked with a move to AC Milan. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper in Italy rumours are growing that the Togolese striker wants [...]

Hello there. I’m back from the Gold Coast and I’m feeling good. Hope you’re doing as well on this fine Tuesday. Since I last posted the European Championships have begun and the first three days of the tournament have been filled with some decent football and a couple of interesting results. I managed to catch the entirety [...]

Today sees the first match of Euro 2008 being played between Switzerland and Czech Republic and a second game between Portugal and Turkey. It should be an excellent night of football. For the record, I’m expecting the hosts to snatch a point off a talented Czech side and the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portuguese side to beat [...]

The football world turns its head towards Austria and Switzerland tomorrow as Euro 2008 finally kicks off. I think it’s going to be an outstanding tournament. While nothing can beat the World Cup for spectacle and colour the European Championships has a tendency to produce a better quality of football and matches in general. This latest edition should [...]

Cheers also to the other supporters around the world who left their thoughts as well. It’s amazing to think this blog has readers from Mexico, France, Switzerland and South Africa [...]
