Match Day Showdown


Sunday is shaping up to be a real cracker as The Continentalist and Banana Island vie for the Euro 2008 Pool Title.

Mathematically they are the only two contenders left for a first place finish. Having picked Germany as both his bonus and final pick (for a total of 11 points), The Continentalist is hoping his pragmatic German heavyweights unleash the power he's called for in his Teutonic accent. Does Ballack have one more rocket left in his boot?

Likewise, Banana Island will get the full 11 points and win her first pool title if her fleet-footed Spanish flyweights can Flamenco their way around the German back line. Even sweeter if fair-haired Fernando delivers the game-winner.

The Continentalist will have the home side advantage, but at the moment it appears there will be more roja shirts in the Fan Zone. Fortunately there will be plenty of neutrals and niños to ensure fair play. As the Euro 2008 slogan says, "Expect Emotions."

Um, Expect Emotions? Sounds like a PSA for PMS.
