Keepin' Updated: Predictions

Euro 2008 has begun and we at Booked!, are pumped. The Euros gives the World Cup a run for its money in terms of quality football, excitement, and atmosphere. ESPN is covering every single match, which is fantastic, even if every Sportscenter host takes a shot at soccer every chance they get. So insecure those guys are, aren't they? I've never once read on an American soccer blog how silly American football is. True soccer fans just don't care about it, really. About all the rules, pads, coaches, stoppages (talk about boring), cheerleaders, half-time shows, commercials. The NFL and American beer commercials are the same now that I think about it - anything to keep you distract you from the disgusting product you're ingesting.

But anyway, I wanted to keep tabs on my predictions from what seemed like forever ago. So far, I am 2-0. Both the Czechs and Portuguese squeezed through their opening matches over Switzerland and Turkey, respectively. As you'll remember, I chose Germany to win the whole thing, and I stick by that. They play Poland tomorrow and I hope to report that I will keep my perfect prediction record, but I will be at the US - Argentina match. Booked! hopes to bring you some photos and analysis as soon as possible from the match.
