Euro 2008 - Favourites Go Home

Oh my, oh my. First it was Portgual, follow by Croatia and now Holland.

Portugal was favourite to beat Germany, while Croatia was thought to be having a easy time against the injury-plagued Turks and the Dutch was expected to dispose the Russians after impressive display in the Group of Death.


However all comes to nought. Of all the three teams, Holland must be feeling extremely disappointed especially the mastermind of their defeat comes in the hand of their former coach and home bred master - Guus Hindink. He has brought South Korea to 3rd place in the 2002 World Cup and brought Australia to their only second round appearance in the 2006 World Cup. Now he has brought Russia to the semi-final of the 2008 Euro Championship.



Tonight will see Spain entetaining Italy. Winner of this match will take on the Russians.
