The Czech was trying to remove the Austrian's shirt, the Italian was giving the Romanian a loving arm around his neck, the Frenchman was just trying to hold the Dutchman as close as possible. It was meant to be football.
But this isn't the place to read detailed match reports from the Euro2008 football championship. What looks like an update here will probably be a dubious analogy to a current television show, or a reflection on some incident at work.
Apart from the obvious official news and sport sites, the place to go for daily game updates is http://cupidpas2008.blogspot.com
It's great. Unlike the form that my team is showing there.

The Group of Death
Choice of TV viewing today, Euro 2008 continues, and it's the final of The Apprentice.
But let's stick to football. A major football tournament can never be complete without the early establishment of a Group of Death ... This time round the reaper is pointing his bony finger in the general direction of Italy, Netherlands, France and Romania.
1. Italy: An undoubted history of success, the most consistent top achiever. But somehow has also acquired a bit of a reputation for sneaky underhand tactics.
2. Holland: The most flat, but probably my personal favourite of the four. However according to the classic quote "too orange to be taken seriously"
3. France: Another powerful and consistent contender. Has a loud and strong global presence despite a comparatively weak local league.
4. Romania: Quietly efficient. The least prominent and least recognisable of the four, but still qualified well ahead of the finals.
Incidentally, if we are to imagine an Apprentice equivalent of Group of Death, four top rated contenders, what if they brought back the two top females from last year to go with the two top females from this year?
