The thing that gets me about football is that it's just like life. It should be about skill and creativity and be fair, but it's not fair at all. The poor Schweizer, Alexander Frei was having a good game on a comeback after injury, when quick as you can say Euro 2008, the tournament was over for him. Nothing fair about that and I couldn't help thinking Switzerland had also been robbed of at least a point against a very lucky Czech side.
As you can see the boss let me have a TV, albeit an old black and white. The window of opportunity allowed by the 17.00 and 19.45 kick-off gives me about 50 minutes to cycle like crazy and watch the second game in the comfort of my own home. In this case it was Portugal v Turkey and as expected Portugal were superior and ran out easy 2-0 winners. Turkey were very disappointing. Ronaldo will have to step up a notch if Portugal want to go all the way. We also really need to see if he is worth all that money.
