So...now that Switzerland confirmed expectations and my team is 45 minutes from the kick off do we have, among UMSF members, bets regarding the final result?

Don't speak me about France...That is a curse... rolleyes.gif

Doug...a pity you guys didn't make it... tongue.gif

Go Ronaldo Go!
Damn...we're a darn pretty people aren't we?...

And yes...I am wearing my hooligan outfit...yelling, screaming until I run out of voice...or beer... ohmy.gif

I just heard this morning that there is a soccer tournament (euro 08 or something like that) going on in Europe.
Hope all the euro-kids have a good time watching the games!

European countries just don't get it with sports. When we have a world championship (baseball, football, and basketball, for example), we don't invite other countries, with the exception of a few Canadian teams. That is a great way to ensure victory! rolleyes.gif

We Europeans do get it! Rather than playing for a nice sounding title (like "world-as-we-define-it" champion), we play straight away for cold hard cash ... ever wondered why it's called the "Euro 2008", or in short "€ 2008", and it will be even more in 4 years time rolleyes.gif
