Football.

[rhythmaning]

I have spent a lot of this week listening and watching football.

I hadn't intended to - indeed, I thought I wouldn't watch Euro 2008 at all, without England, Scotland or Ireland to entice me in.

But I have. Every evening. And it has been great.

Before the tournament started, my money was on Italy. (Nice wine, nice food, olive oil. Obviosu really.)

But frankly I would now bet on Holland. (No one seems to call them Netherlands. Don't know why.) or Portugal.

It's rather sad when pea soup and cabbage trumps wine and olive oil.

Good point!

Perhaps Portugal are taking forward the pride of olive oil and wine?

Holland are looking class. I fancy Croatia as an outside bet.
Holland and Netherlands are differnt aren't they? Maybe it's cos of that.
