Re: EURO 2008! The UEFA European Football Championship
Croatia goes football crazy before quarterfinal at Euro 2008 ZAGREB, Croatia: As Croatia prepares to face Turkey on Friday in the European Championship quarterfinals — its best sporting achievement in 10 years — Croats have taking their usual football madness even further. Little Croatian flags are fluttering from all cars on city streets. School children and officer workers are wearing replicas of the team's checkerboard pattern shirts. Women are having their nails done in the flag colors and a boutique in Zagreb is even offering a checkered tuxedo. Reporter Olgica Ivic Grizelj wrote in the Slobodna Dalmacija daily that she's almost ashamed to go out of her house without the team shirt on, noting that "everyone is in red-and-white."

Euro 2008: Russia fire shock warning to Holland
Russia have warned their Euro 2008 opponents Holland not to expect an easy ride in Saturday’s crunch quarter final. The Dutch have been the team of the tournament so far, emerging from the so-called ‘Group of Death’ with stylish defeats of Italy, France and Romania. Russia’s coach, Guus Hiddink, says he is relishing the task of facing his countrymen. He knows about how the inner-workings of the Dutch set-up, having previously having coached them himself, and is hoping to use that inside knowledge to his advantage. ”It’s going to be an interesting match,” he said, “because we know Holland well and what kind of players they are. Hopefully it’s going to be a clash between two nations who like to play football. The Dutch have a bit of an advantage – four or five days of recovery, while we have had just two days. That’s an advantage for Holland but nevertheless we’ll try to manage it.”  Russia players celebrate after reaching their first quarter-final as an independent nation READ MORE - RussiaToday : Sports : Euro 2008: Russia fire shock warning to Holland VIDEO - RussiaToday : Sports : Euro 2008: Russia fire shock warning to Holland euro2008.uefa.com - Home Page
