The wait is over for the supporters of Spanish football, they’ve finally won another title. The last time Spain won a major championship, it was 1964 and they played against — not Russia, but — the USSR in final.
Now, I’ll be the first to admit it, even as a proud German fan, the better team [...]
Sometimes it’s disappointing when the top two favoured teams heading into a tournament come to face each other the finals. Nobody really wants to root for a favourite; we’re a society that loves the underdog stories and seeing the best triumph sometimes upsets us. Look at the Red Sox and Patriots now. Nobody except loyalists, [...]
Since the NBA draft went down last night and the Intern couldn’t muster up enough energy to actually follow through on an idea, here are my thoughts of how it went down.
With the Bulls on tap and two real options (well only one when you really read between the lines) the NBA draft kicked off [...]
With the rain coming down in Vienna, Spain clearly coped with the horrid conditions better than Russia could. The first half may have been evenly fought but credit is due to whatever the Spanish coach said at halftime to fire up his players. Russia was outclassed from minutes 45-90 and that’s why Spain was able [...]
I’ll make no bones about it, Germany was outplayed by Turkey and were a bit lucky to win it. When you hear a phrase like that coming from a guy that is still wearing his Michael Ballack Euro 2008 jersey, that’s saying something. 63-37 possession is a telling statistic to aid that argument.
Germany may have [...]
It’s easy to label any team that the U.S. throws together in basketball nowadays a “Dream Team.” After all, most of the world’s best players were cultivated on American soil with the exceptions of some great Euros, Argentines and even a Canadian. But when you have LeBron James and Kobe Bryant — the two heirs [...]
It looks like the karma deities were looking out for the underdogs and teams that didn’t rest their players for inconsequential third group games. Three out the four lower seeds advanced out of the quarterfinals and the one favourite that did survive, Spain, was taken to penalty kicks by a seemingly improving Italian side. But [...]
So after writing a post about just how amazing Tiger Woods is and how he is the best golfer ever (or at least will be), he comes out and announces that he’s going to be going under the knife and have surgery to repair his knee… again. Sure, it was obvious from his limps and [...]
So the Germans finally listened to my advice and look what happened. They downed Portugal 3-2 in a game that didn’t even look close for the first 30 minutes. Then, when Portugal stepped it up offensively, the game seemed just on even level. The Germans clearly outclassed the cocky Portuguese squad to advance to the [...]
What a disappointing game for the Swedes it was. Losing to Russia sank their hopes of moving onto the quarterfinals to face the Dutch in what would have been a sure loss. The Russians came out and played with the form that showed how they qualified over heavy favourite England. A lot of the Russian’s [...]
