It seems that most teams in the Euro Cup are scoring their goals off of counter attacks. This is a little different than what I’ve been used to seeing where the dominant team wears the other team down and gets their goals and a W. I think this isn’t just a random occurrence, I would say this is very much done on purpose. We look at what Greece had done in the last Euro Cup to win it all and they very much got by on a strategy where their defense kept the other team from scoring and on a counter attack they would get their goal and take the victory on a 1-0.

My favorite counter attack goal has to be Wesley Sneijder’s goal. The entire play was gorgeous and the finish was excellent. He really had to thread a needle to get that ball in there, and do it under pressure. The entire play, starting from the save off the line from the Italian corner, was executed perfectly. I was a little worried when the ball was crossed into the Italian box as I didn’t see the forward on screen and thought the ball had been well overplayed. But then the header came from the side and Sneijder did well to get the ball in the back of the net. I just wish it hadn’t been against the Italians.

In the end this kind of soccer seems to be more suspenseful for me. I never know when to expect a goal, such as when Turkey got one in the least minutes against the Swiss hosts. Gotta keep watching to the end. We’ll see if the Italians can show us some better soccer tomorrow.

P.S. Anyone know where to get non-copyrighted images of the Euro Cup?

I know I haven’t written in a ridiculously long time but I’m here. I figure not many people read this and just about no one follows it. When I first made this site I thought I would cater to everyone else that may come, then I could traffic and so on. But I’ve decided I can’t really do that. I lost interest because this site was more about others than me. That’s no fun. So I figure I will continue with the site but in a different direction. It’ll be more like a repository of what I like and stuff about me. Hopefully in the end it’ll be more of a biographical place then anything else. I figure not many come here anyway so I might as well just do it completely my way.

So if you’re one of the six people that will ever read this, thanks. I mostly have music and random news in the past but the future will be more about me and whatever the hell I wanna write about. I might redo the design but I feel I never got to take advantage of this one that I made and I like so it’ll probobly stick around for a little while longer.

Anyway, hope you come back soon. I’ll be back too. Later.
