A few hours more to the kickoff in Austria/Switzerland. I was telling Davidof and Gwen yesterday over Venezia Ice Cream at 6th Avenue, "How many Euros do you think you'd get to see in your life time? 15? 16?", Everyone of them is an event to savor, if you like me have been similarly blessed to have developed a love for the beautiful game. England may not be in it, but like the newspapers say they have only disappointed so its nice picking a different team to root for, for a change. I fancy Russia(Go Arshavin! that's my nick in Dota, after Russian Playmaker Andrei Arshavin), and Croatia. I might have fancied Portugal, but events from last few days concerning a certain Cristiano Ronaldo and his desire to trade in his Man Utd no. 7 for a Real Madrid one has got me so sick. If you wanted to leave why did you sign a new contract just last year? I'm not wishing it to happen but I wouldn't feel sad if someone breaks his legs in the next few weeks.

Over the last couple of days, I have been taking naps in the afternoon after Dota and dragging my bedtime back in a bid to prepare myself for the 3am matches, it's still gonna be a challenge! I hope I don't miss too many.
