Been a pretty good tournament up to now. I like the way these events whip up national pride to a frenzy, however it really disappoints me how some country's react to losing. Seems to be a culture of alchol related violence that the English invented and have exported to some of continental Europe, though most of the Euro zone seem to have a more civilised relationship with drink.
After watching some poor French guy get his head kicked in, in the central London pub I was in, after only France's first goal. The so called Eng-er-land fans were so busy pumelling the guy for cheering his team's goal they missed the second and the rest of the match once, bouncers and bar staff managed to get to the scene. Of course some idiots started chucking their plastic beer glasses at the large screen from the balcony, which wasn't much fun for those stood below, including us...
Anyway as I pointed out to Robin, every cloud has a silver lining, and in my case I had Zidane in my Fantasy football team! I'm backing the Czechs to win, I've got Barros, Kholer and Nedved and 2 transfers left to make post the semis. They're are the best team I've seen in the tournament, may not have the best individuals but overall link up and attacking creativity and directness they're the best. I predict a Portugal 1 v Czec 3 final.
