Finally, the opening day is upon us, praise Allah. That's at least what Turkey should be doing, and they might need every prayer they have to test Portugal. Portugal cruise 2-0.
The earlier game is much more intriguing. Don't expect a similar opener like that of the World Cup where the goals were flying in from every angle when Germany beat Costa Rica 5-2, but this has the potential to be a barn-burner. I'm kind of torn because of my allegiance with the Czechs, but I know the Swiss will come out ready to show they are for real. Gotta go with the draw 1-1.
See you tomorrow.

So I had a thought today while doing my laundry (Messi jersey included) of how to make the EuroCup just a little more interesting. A classic "What if?" game that would only take place in somewhere we all fondly know as Deyanland.
What if each of the 4 or maybe 8 of the lower acclaimed teams in this Eurocup were able to select one player, in order, from non-Euro countries (I guess that includes England but we could also think just not European)?
Draft order complete with picks:(minimally considering player fit)
Austria- Kaka
Switzerland- Messi
Russia- Drogbaaaaah
Poland- Ronaldinho (assuming post-Barcelona form)
Sweden-Danny Alves (Boo Yaa)
Turkey- Michael Essien
Romainia- Carlos Tevez
Greece- TIM HOWARD
until next time...
