Euro 2008 has just begun. I'll be posting results as the days go by, maybe even links to video highlights, if ever :D

So far, 4 games have been played.

Saturday:

The Swiss hosted the first match, facing the Czech Republic. Despite having an offensive approach, Vaclav Sverkos scored the only, and winning, goal for the Czechs.

Portugal won their first match, with a 2-0 scoreline. Defender Pepe smashed in the first goal, with Cristiano Ronaldo setting up teammate Raul Meireles to slot home a second.

Sunday:

Austria went down to Croatia, 1-0, after a penalty scored by a new Tottenham signing, Luka Modric. The game stayed at that scoreline, breaking Austrian hearts, just like what happened to the co-hosts the day before.

In the other game, Bayern's Lucas Podolski scored the brace, securing a win for the German side. Ironically, the Polish-born striker took down his own country, Poland, finishing the game at 2-0.

Back to club football.

Rumors are flying that Didier Drogba has agreed to sign with AC Milan, with Chelsea's consent. That gives enough budget for the soon-to-be-named manager to buy Samuel Eto'o, their prime target. 18M Pounds. The problem is, they may face stiff competition from Inter Milan and their former manager, Jose Mourinho

And with rumors abounding, i guess it's fair enough to just mention that there are inklings of Cristiano Ronaldo signing for Real Madrid. Who knows how much it'll cost the club. Claude Makelele backs it up, but yeah. Wait for things to come, especially after Euro2008


Looks like Euro2008 will be fun. Expect more international football this week, less club.
