About: Favourites to win?

Many a favorites have already crashed out of the Euro champion football ships, Croatia the giant killers, Portugal the axe/chain saw stampers, Italy the reigning world champions, the Dutch looked good until they were clinically dismantled by Russians. There was sheer disbelief, I thought Dutch had a realistic chance but Russians made the break through chances and converted and Dutch were never really in the hunt after conceding two goals in 36minutes. Croatia going out to Turkey was sad.It would have been really awesome if they were to reach the semis perhaps not meant to be and a fairy tale ended soon, sooner than they would have like. I think all fairy tales don't end in "and they lived happily ever after." it is perhaps an ode to the Joga bonita, beautiful game.
Germany mean while are picking momentum and looking to be favourites to win the Euro Champion, Shcweinstiger is a man to mark, Klose always manages to pull the rabbit of the hat and Ballack seems to be determined to prove a point.They have build up momentum and will be hoping to cary it to the finish there is more to it though perhaps the last twist in the tale.Me looking forward to today/tonite match, first semi between Germany and Turkey.Me hooting for Germany, icch mien Berliner.Hope thats right.

Dhoni and Gang are back in the business of 50-50 with few minos and Lanka and Pakistan and hoping to prove their territorial might against Pakistan and Lanka. India looks to be favorite to win this one against Hong Kong. I don't wish to get into the details hope to see a great mauling by the Indians and prepare well against Lanka and Pakistan.India has posted 374 for 4. Raina Dhoni getting fifties, man in form got a good 44 mercurial Sehwag got off to a rocketing start manged 78.

I was net surfing and logged in to my iGoogle when I read this and this. I immediately saw myself smiling it was humour at its best.
