Euro 2008

A thoroughly enjoyable competition with some top-class games. Was it the fact that no home nation was involved that allowed us to watch it in a relaxed fashion - or was it simply that the standard of football was so high? If we had been there, I don't think we would have lasted five minutes! I found it interesting that - with the exception of Spain - the teams that impressed most in the early stages (Portugal, Croatia, Holland) all failed to get past the quarter-finals. Perhaps there really is such a thing as peaking too soon!
