The last time I saw something like this, my dog went on to have a litter of puppies.
Spain’s Fernando Torres (right) stretches with teammate Pepe Reina at the Euro 2008 European Soccer Championships in Austria and Switzerland. I don’t care what particular muscle this exercise stretches, I would rather just injure it.

The Czech Republic was up 2-0 with 15 minutes left in regulation. They had arguably one of the best goal keepers in the world with Petr Cech in front of the net. Turkey didn’t stand a chance, right?
Wrong.
This has got to be one of the most exciting soccer games I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable.
It even included Volkan Demirel, the Turkish goal keeper receiving a Red Card in the final seconds requiring him to remove his distinctive goal keeper jersey and leave the field. A Turkish defender then had to put on his sweaty jersey and Hamburger Helper gloves and take on the goal keeping chores.
Exciting!

Poland faces Germany in the first round action of the 2008 European Championship. This photo ran in a major Polish newspaper. It shows the Polish manager holding the severed heads of German footballers Michael Ballack and Joachim Loew.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say somebody in Poland has a score to settle with Germany.
The games will be shown live on ESPN. The schedule can be found here.
