Euro 2008: Too. Much. Football.

Can you have too much of a good thing? Try telling that to the man currently turking Angelina Jolie I guess (hey Brad!), but with the prospect of Spain versus Greece and Russia v Sweden tonight, you know, we’re seriously starting to wonder.

But first to business and last night’s Euro 2008 action which promised to be one of the most enthralling of contests, but actually turned out to be a bit of damp squid (the chav’s version of a damp squib).

As long suffering readers will know, we’re not exactly the biggest fans of France, nothing personal, but ooh la, la sacre bleu and all that they actually achieved what we thought was the impossible last night, in that we started to feel more than a little sorry for them.

Ribery crocking himself royally within the first 15 minutes, Eric Abidal off within 25, the only bright spot was Luca Toni who couldn’t have finished a sentence... but eventually the Italians via Henry’s boot applied the coup de grace.

And Romania too? Outplayed by Holland’s ‘bitter and twisted’ benchwarmers...

So we have to say we’re not exactly enthralled at tonight’s prospects. Why does that feel right, when it should feel soooo wrong?
