Unexpected Results

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

It’s UEFA again. Everyday there are unexpected results. I think that’s the fascination of UEFA. On Wednesday as expected Portugal beat Czech. It was Ronaldo again. Not much to say about this match. But the next match between Switzerland and Turkey was a bit shocking. Goal in final minutes of the games and Swiss out of the competition.

What about yesterday?? Croatia beat Germany. Oh my god. I never thought of that. But really a classy play from Croatia did that. They were in lead all the time and kept in till the end. Germany’s Goal in last 15 minutes brought some hopes. But Croatia kept attacking and Germany lost. I wasn’t happy with the results but glad to see the Croatia game.

The other match between Austria and Poland was not of much interest to me. But that match was thriller. Austria dominated the game but the luck was not in their favor. In the end they somehow managed to draw at last minute. And that too on a penalty. Truly a thriller match which I was about to ignore. Now for todays matches. Will Italy win against Romania??? The second match is  a tough one but Netherlands are on high.

Lets see what happens…

Turkey and Bull

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey,”but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Getting to the top isn’t an easy job. You have to go through the bull shit these days. But that’s a shortcut. You can just jump over the bull shit or choose a different way. Going through bull shit will get you quick success. But after sometime the smell of the bull shit will throw you out. That success will not last long.

Think Nonsense…

Elephant and Donkey

Seriously I didn’t knew about this. I wondered why and for what are these elephant and donkey cartoons?? Why elephant and donkey only?? Today I thought of giving a search and was surprised with the result. Donkey represents Democratic Party and Elephant represents the Republican. My jaws fell down to ground. How can a party make a Donkey as it’s representative?? A further search cleared the doubts that it’s only in cartoons. I got some really cool Donkey images. I will post them in upcoming posts. Till then enjoy this cartoon I found.

Some Relief

At least Some relief yesterday on UEFA. Matches went as I predicted. The match between Greece and Sweden was a tough match. Though Sweden won by 2-0 margin the match was leading nowhere till 67 minutes. The goal scored by Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Very difficult name to remember) was superb. I haven’t seen a beautiful goal like this recently. The second goal I call a mere fluke. Although at this level the goal should have been avoided by the goalkeeper. Greece defense is not good. They need to improve. They somehow manage to save some goals in first half. Swedish team played well. Watching them for the next match now..

The other match I expected that Spain will win and that happened. Though the margin of goal was large. i thought may be 2-0 will be the winning margin. The goal scored by Russia was a bonus. But it was executed well. Will Russia play well in coming matches?? Difficult to predict. But they should and give some tough competition. This will really spice up the tournament. One sided wins are not enjoyable.

Now in couple of minutes I’m expecting good matches. Winner prediction cannot be made here. Though in first match Portugal has a higher side due to last match win and the sensation Ronaldo.

Enjoy the games…

Since the Browser is based on Firefox. But It doesn’t crashes. I don’t have to use many extensions as many features I want are integrated into it. I just love the Web clipboard feature.
