Fústar’s Super Euro Soccer Party
The 2008 European Championships kicked off yesterday and Fústar has started a chronicle of matches, with the odd player profile and nostalgic recollection thrown in. I’ll be adding posts, and my first - on why I’m supporting Poland - appears today to coincide with their first match later. Yes, I know they’re playing Germany (the favourites in many people’s eyes) but I’m an eternal optimist.

They did, of course, play each other 2 years ago at the World Cup (with Germany winning 1-0).
The following hilarious exchange (between Graeme Souness & Uncle Bill O’Herlihy)took place on RTE before that game -
“I think as a nation the Poles are intimidated by the Germans,” said Souness.
“With a certain justification!” chuckled Bill.
