Today, Euro 2008 officially starts. I am making my predictions and inviting any other fans to do the same. However, before we do, let me give pointers as to what influences my choice.
1. Hard as it is, in normal life, the bad and the ugly always seems to triumph over the good. (Liverpool Vs. Arsenal champions league quarter final)
2. The unexpexted always happens and when it does, it changes the whole cause of things (JT's slip and penalty miss at the champions league final against ManU.
3. Hardwork usually does not mean success. Tact and resilience usually do.(Again its hard not to think of the Champions league final Chelsea vs. ManU)
4. Starting well and being at the lead does not make you the winner. Being at the lead at the end is what makes you the winner. (Arsenal 2007/8 Premiership campaign)
5. Often at the end of the day, after putting so much work a silly decision by the referee might be the difference between winning and loosing, going home or staying. (That penalty against Arsenal at Anified in the champions league quarter finals)
Based on the above, I am almost sure that its not the sexy football of France, the hardwork of Portugal or the good co-ordination of Holland or Spain that will win the day.
I fear to say the tournament will be won by ITALY or GERMANY....see you on 29th of June Folks!!!
