Viva La Espana!

Anan, Harry, Sat and Chan gathered at Harvey's place to watch the Euro 2008 Final last night. It could possibly be the last time we watch a 245am game together because soon everyone will start work and get married. It was a fun affair in general with the usual PS3 Winning Eleven games and Chan finally got to meet "Chan" at Yassin. It was one of those moments where time stood still, like there was a glitch in the Matrix or something. "Chan" was his usual self and the pratas were up to standard, though Sat's mee kuah failed to live up to his expectations. We had the usual MiB talk at the supper-table and we all concluded who MiB's "Romeo" is.

The match itself was a tense and tigh affair and it was a good final if you ask me. Both teams tried to attack and score and the score could have been easily 3-2 if both teams had finished better. There were lots of outstanding displays from the eventual champions Spain; Torres for the goal obviously, but behind him Senna and Xavi were brilliant as they have been all tournament, and Spain's defence with Puyol, Marchena, Ramos and Capdevilla will all be hailed as heroes back home with Casillas the obvious darling. So unlike many tournaments before, for Euro 2008, I think it is fair to say that the best team won. I enjoyed the entire 3 weeks and I think it was a good attacking tournament.

One month of cold-turkey now before the EPL resumes again. Time for the crazy transfer rumours to start.

WAG of Euro 2008: Sylvie Van Der Waart... SMOKING hot. See for yourself: http://images.google.com/images?q=sylvie%20van%20der%20waart&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7SUNA&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi

On another note, Friday Soccer at NUS will be ON at 4pm. Harry is itchy to play. He will dance the salsa every time he scores so it's something not to miss! See you there..
