Euro 2008 Final Preview: Germany vs Spain
Comments(5)
Is this Spain’s time? If the world was fair, then it would be. All that talent and just one trophy (the 1964 European Championship) and one second place (1984 European Championship) to show for it. Oh, and a whole lot of quarterfinal appearances.
Or is it Germany’s time? Isn’t it always Germany’s time? ... [read more]
Euro 2008 Jersey Poll Tournament Final: Spain vs Germany
Comments(1)
Would you believe this? Our Euro 2008 Jersey Poll Tournament, which we’ve run throughout Euro 2008 to find WCB readers favourite jersey, is down to the last two. Not quite as big an event as the actual Euro 2008 final, but a little WCB milestone nonetheless.
And guess who’s in the final? Spain ... [read more]
Bayern Munich are the Most Represented Club in the Euro 2008 Final
Comments(8)
After today’s 90 (or 120) minutes of action, we’ll have to start thinking about club football again. So I was wondering which team had the most players involved in the Euro 2008 final.
Here are the most represented club teams at Euro 2008, according to how many players they have in today’s squads:

Who Do You Think Will Win the Euro 2008 Final?
Comments(0)We’ve been a reasonably accurate group of voters so far. We predicted Spain would beat Russia, just as we predicted victory for Germany over Turkey.
We know who neutrals want to win the Euro 2008 trophy today. But who do you think will win? Will be fascinating to see how closely the head follows the heart. So let’s keep our record ... [read more]

Vote: Should There Have Been a Third Place Playoff at Euro 2008?
Comments(17)
My initial reaction when I gave the Euro 2008 schedule was: No 3rd place playoff? Excellent. It’s basically a friendly between the B teams of two disappointed teams.
Sandwiched between the drama of the semi-finals (there’s always drama in semi-finals) and the big event that is the final, the game to see ... [read more]

Finances: El Clasico Always Wins
The yearly list of football club annual revenue is out yet again and the gap between the two Spanish behemoths and the rest of the field is growing ever wider. Despite the trophy success of last year, Barcelona has lost the financial Clasico to Real Madrid...yet again (lucky number seven ...

Kei Kamara Dons The Gorilla Suit
This takes down February's best footy related video award easily. Kei Kamara of the Kansas City Wizards dons the gorilla suit for a series of pranks during a set of real or staged interviews. It doesn't really matter - it's all awesome. It is also very likely Cyprion Hedrick wet his pants. ...

Samsunspor Team Bus Meets Train
What do you say to this? Holy @#$%. Incredibly, everyone from Samsunspor - Turkish Super Lig - survived and the team bus is the only thing which netted catastrophic damage. And as evident from the video, no signs/warnings appeared that, ya know, a train was steaming in. Someone's likely to see a change ...

Adriano Gets Quarantined For Fatness
Adriano is both one of the most gifted strikers of his generation and one of the most disappointing, ballooning to Ronaldo's late-career playing weight right smack in the middle of his prime, among other, non-gravitational-field-related issues (drinking, partying, shooting people, etc). Now at Corinthians and fresh off an Achilles injury ...

Excellence In Futility
The set-and-finish own goal is one of extreme rarity, such that it should have its own show on some science channel. To deflect a ball into the net is one thing, but a composed boot, if shanked? That's truly special stuff. The gentleman in question is Ashraf Soliman of Maccabi Umm ...

Kitties Taking Over The World
A pitch invasion took center stage during the first half at Anfield this evening, if only because no one else could. There's something in here about the cat being more productive than Andy Carroll, too. Also, it already has at least three Twitter accounts. Of course. (One of them.) Another cat, a ...

Balotelli Feels The Magic
Beyond anything which Mario may or may not be doing...what an odd sequence to catch during a game, isn't it? Fans get caught doing things quite often, but not players seated in cushy boxes. That said....Mario makes a coke can disappear. I think. Which is pretty nice. Though I imagine the ...

Bayern: The Good Guys (!)(?)
If you've paid any attention to the Bayern Munich news bits over the past years, you'll know that they've got some characters running the show. Thus their public persona isn't exactly seen as the cuddly teddy bear, smiled-at-least-once-in-their-lives types. So to hear that they gave Borussia Dortmund, a direct competitor, ...
