Well done, Spain

Spain was the only country which we did not have correct as quarter-finalists and, almost inevtiably, they won Euro 2008.Well done to them as they deserved it by playing the better football and winning all their matches (even if it did go to penalties against Italy). Was not so impressed with them last night against the German team, but they managed to beat them 1-0 when Turkey managed to lose 2-3. I still think Turkey would have made for better opponents last night but that was not to be.

The question now is whether the 2010 Wold Cup will be able to be held in South Africa after all. I hear that they have great problems there with building the stadiums on time and I imagine that there is tremendous political pressure to keep them there but if there is a real problem, it will have to come out soon before people can start making travel plans...
