Yesterday night Vienna had to forgo the classical Waltz to make way for the Spanish flamenco as the La Selección returned victorious after a 44 year drought. Spain although gifted with several talented players did not start the football tournament as favourites. The pundits were placing their money on teams like world cup champions Italy, Germany, Portugal and France. In fact, when the tournament

Seems smiles are back on the faces of the Italian players and Coach Donadoni. Smiles are back also on Matarese's and Abete's faces after they managed to reach the quarter finals of the EURO 2008. They managed to win 2-0 against mighty France..... but they won against a depleted side who played for more than half of the game with 10 men. Would the italians have beaten the French if Frank Ribery
