I'm going back to 2023

First meme of the year  . . . first prediction of the year . . . and the first fuck up of the year. Nice to set off on the right foot for the New Year. (Yep, already broke my New Year Resolution as well  . . . but that was hours ago.)

Germany versus Spain

A declaration and a prediction

Unless the final is a damp quib, this has definitely been the best international tournament since the Spain '82 World Cup.

And what will be the final score? Spain will beat Germany 4-2, and justice will at last be done. I can't tell in what minutes the goals will be scored, but I will predict that Cesc Fàbregas will score his second international goal tonight.

Christ, the game hasn't even started yet and I already miss this tournament.

Euro Slacker

Christ, fell behind with the Euro Championship coverage which is a bit of a pain in the arse. I blame it on the excessively hot weather in New York plus the fact that I've actually been watching the games. In those circumstances, how does anyone actually get the opportunity to blog?

I guess I'll try and pick up the coverage again with the quarter finals but those are famous last words from this blog . . . until the next time.

I'll finish the post with some predictions. That way, if he get it totally wrong that can explain any forthcoming embarrassed silence with regards to the Euro Championship:

Portugal 3-1 Germany

Croatia 0-2 Turkey

Netherlands 2-1 Russia

Spain 1-0 Italy

With regards to the last prediction, that is total wishful thinking on my part. No desire to see Italy anywhere close to the latter stages of the tournament. Why? One name: Buffon. I hate that prick.
