As you know, the Euro 2008 football competition is coming to an end soon. Last night, and the previous night, the two semi-finals were played, and the final will be held on Sunday, I believe.
Actually, I don't know the result of last night's semi-final, between Russia and Spain, and please don't tell me! The match started at about 3:30 this morning, so I recorded it and am planning to watch tonight. The previous semi-final, between Germany and Turkey, saw Germany emerge as victors after a very tough match, in which everyone says Turkey looked much better but couldn't score many goals. Unfortunately, it wasn't shown on Japanese terrestrial TV, so I just saw the goals.
Everone seems to agree that this year's competition is much more exciting than last year's. Interestingly, though, the number of goals in the group stage was higher 4 years ago in Greece. Another interesting feature of this year's competition is that, generally, the teams that had a long rest before the quarter- or semi-finals lost their matches. This is surprising because in the domestic leagues it is usual to have about a week between matches, and everyone says that two matches a week is too much.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the final!
