The Unlikely Fan and the Group of Death

June 9th, 2008 | By: Daryl | 5 Comments »

Made this very nice find on 101 Great Goals recently, and I think it could be Euro 2008’s answer to The Special One. It’s called The Unlikely Fan, a series of short Euro 2008 previews/one man sketches by Brendan Hunt, an American living in the Netherlands and supporting the Oranje.

The pilot episode from when the draw was made is above. “Let’s see how Holland did, I think they’ve got a good chance this year. As long as they don’t get drawn into some crazy… group of death.”

Two more episodes after the jump:

Episode One (above) inlcudes a handy guide to tell which team you’re watching and joke about taking a dump in your own living that was much funnier before Austria’s impressive performance yesterday.

Episode Two (above) is a preview of today’s Group of Death, which the Unlikely Fan takes very literally.

Group of Death eh?

Try having France, Italy and Ukraine in your QUALIFYING GROUP

Then beating France and still not reaching the finals. Weep poor Scotland.

Like Italy, the unlikely fan couldn’t deal with the orange and choked.

Sam, 101 Great Goals is about the only place that has figured out how to post them without getting them pulled by the powers-that-be.
