Euro 2008

So, Nathan, will Sweden advance to the knock-out phase of the Euro 2008 Soccer Tournament? They'll have their work cut out for them against Spain today, no? I still see them as the runner-up in that bracket. They do have a win in-hand of course.
Just what does "Heja Sverige" mean anyway? Does it mean "Go Sweden!"? I like soccer at this level. It's entertaining and the action is continuous, unlike American sports.
What do you think?

I think they finish second in their group and probably go down to the Dutch in the 1st knock-out game. A tie would be a great result against Spain, but I don't know that anyone can keep up with Spain's attack. Spain wins that group in a walk, unless they stumble, which they have been known to do.

Heja Sverige does mean Go Sweden!, pronounced "Hey-ya Sveery-ya".

I like the tournys with country teams. With so much turnover in so many leagues on the club teams I have a hard time keeping up with who's going where at any given time. With national teams I know Torsten Frings will always play for Germany and Henke Larsson will always play for Sweden and so on. It's much easier.

Hey John,

This has nothing to do with soccer but I hope you had a great Father's Day.

Thinking about you!
