Footballlllllllllllll!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Russia is in the semi-finals of the Euro 2008, winning over the highly acclaimed Holland team 3:1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as I am aware Russia never being further than quarter-finals. The Russian coach (who is actually Dutch) Guus Hiddink is made of awesome as far as I am concerned. I will be making picspams and icons in between now and 26 of June.

- THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT TOURNAMENT SO FAR!
- I was impressed by the Turkey team as being able to shoot penalties is such an important skill. And ability to score a goal on the last second is even more important.
- Germany has always been one of my favourites and Ballack is in a good form. He is fantastic!

GO GO ITALY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I... I read that thing about Turkey totally wrong for a moment...

Why? Croatia played better (only marginally, INHO) until the first goal but after that Turkey KNEW they want to win, but Croatia wasn't so sure. :D

I liked that the goalkeeper got to save a penalty. This will make him feel better about the goal he missed because he run out.

I think I will be supporting Turkey a little bit more than Germany. Can't help but cheer for the underdog.

My brain didn't read "penalties" correctly you see... *sigh*

Anyway, my friends seemed quite exciting when penalties happened with this game.
