Something for all you frog-haters

Here's something for all you "frog-haters". France, the defending European Champions, were upset tonight by lowly Greece to the score of 1-0. Coupled with the English loosing to Portugal last night on penalty kicks (the world's "best" soccer player and metrosexual, David "Posh" Beckham, put one over the top bar) and the mighty Germans, Italians and Spanish not making it past the first round, has this edition of the European Championship turning into "upset city". Of course, the Cap'n will be happy to know that both the Swedes and Danes are still in the competition. As much I'm pulling for both my ancestorial homes, the reality is that it looks like the Czechs will go all the way since they haven't lost a game yet. They pretty well man-handled their group, which included the hapless Germans, and look to the be the team to beat. I'll go out on a limb and predict that the final will be between Portugal and the Czech Republic with the Czechs pulling off a thrilling 2-1 win. Remember, you heard it here first. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll do like any soon-to-be fired coach and blame the referees/media/fans/moonphase/USA, etc.
