Some Sports...

To continue from where I left it earlier, Euro 2008 has ended and it is VIVA ESPANA taking it home for the 2nd time, after a long 40 odd years! I was completely with Germany but there was no denying the fact that Spain deserved to win considering their excellent performance on the field! The curtains have fallen down on Wimbledon 2008 as well. Nadal has ended Federer's supremacy while big sister Venus has scored over Serena! Both deserving winners again! But, what was unexpected and shocking was India's dismal failure at the Asia Cup 2008 finals against Sri Lanka! More than the failure, it was the casual attitude with which the team approached the game that was disappointing. There are rumuors floating around that this could have been fixed while the other news going around is the grand party that Yuvaraj, Raina and Sharma had on the eve of the finals that lasted till the wee hours of night! Party or no party, there is no denying the fact that the failure of India at the Asia Cup has been quite a jolt to cricket fans across the length and breadth of the country! Let us hope things are better during the Champions' Trophy scheduled to start on 9/11

For the time being, sports enthusiasts all over the world are looking towards China for Olympics 2008 to kick off! Whether it will be US, Russia, China or someone else topping the medal tally is the topic of hot discussion while I am hoping against hope that India is able to put up a better show this time!
