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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so good I almost cried! After they were 2:1 I was just praying that the other team wouldn't pull some luck out collective asses and even out the score but then- THEN ARSHAVIN SCORED ANOTHER ONE FOR RUSSIA!

OH GOD I LOVE THAT TEAM. I haven't even been following football for very long, but I am now hopelessly devoted to the Russian team.

I am very excited for Wednesday, Germany vs. Turkey! They are both great teams. I keep intending to get caught up on my anime shows and then watching football instead. :D

Congratulations! You beat the Netherlands with their own weapons. :D

What a crazy tournament so far, especially the quarter-finals. But as it's often the case, the real games only begin after the group phase is over.
