Euro 08 and Chivas

First to the Euros. I can't stop watching. Who would have thought the Dutch would emerge as the team to beat? Wow! Beating, emphatically, both Italy and France, excellent. Spain also look tough, but I'm not convinced yet as they won big against a pretty weak Russian side. What can I say about Portugal either?
The Czechs, well, first game against Switzerland, it was a win, but they played horrible. They truly miss that creative force in the middle of the field that is Rosicky. David Rozehnal has not been playing well and the entire back line for the Czechs just gave up on Portugal's last goal. Petr Cech has been playing pretty well but hasn't been getting the support he needs. I also thought it was a bit of a mistake to start Baros over Koller, as Baros has not had any real form to speak of since about 2005. I do expect the Czechs to advance and most likely face Croatia in the quarters.
Now on to RSL. Hopefully they can finally muster up a win on the road at the Home Depot Center. How many RSL rejects can a single team have? I will be really pissed if either Eskandarian and Harris score, since they certainly couldn't do that when they were here. Hopefully Carey Talley has another one of his howlers and keeps giving the ball away in dangerous spots.
I really though do not see RSL getting a win here, but I do see a 2-2 draw. Not really sure why, just pulling numbers out of thin air.
And to add this, I found the best
youtube video ever. I must give a warning that this video may offend some people, and if it does, I really don't give a shit, but don't whine that I didn't warn you.
