I’ve been totally into Euro 2008, the third biggest sporting event next to the World Cup and the Summer Olympics. The championship started out with a crawl, the games now are absolutely riveting. If you want to get introduced to soccer on the grandest stage, Friday’s games are the ones to watch. Italy-Romania will feature the current World Cup holders trying to recover from the blistering embarassment from their loss to Portugal. Holland-France should be a riot, as the French must get a result from this game and the Dutch looked as good as Spain and Portugal have so far.
iTunes has some great podcasts that I’ve been listening to while working (head to Sports & Recreation in the podcasts section to find the Guardian’s podcast and World Soccer Daily’s, the two best out there). Best websites to stay up-to-date include Grant Wahl’s daily blog, Fox Sports World, and Nick Webster’s blog (also on Fox Sports World). You can follow the games on Soccernet through their Gamecast (click on Live Scores, then pick the game and click on Gamecast).
