It's an extraordinarily busy day in the South Florida sports scene. The Marlins are currently playing (and losing), the NBA Draft is tonight, and there are rumors swirling everywhere.
If you want a welcome distraction, I strongly encourage you to give Spain vs. Russia a look today. The winner will battle Germany for the Euro 2008 Cup.
Spain comes in as the favorite, but the Russians have been awfully good. Spain also has a reputation for choking in big games...in other words, don't count out the Russians.
Either way, we should have a great finals matchup. Germany vs. Spain would be a scintillating contest between giants (with some lingering resentment from the Spanish Civil War...see Orwell's Homage to Catalonia). Even better, how about the explosive history between Germany and Russia (do I need to go into details?) Take a break from NBA Draft talk and watch Spain take on Russia.

...and if you missed yesterday's first semi-final game between Turkey and Germany, shame on you. a 3-2 game, with 3 goals scored in the final 15 minutes? Although much of the world was kept in the dark, literally, due to a power loss at the Austrian broadcasting HQ, the game itself was mesmerizing. Deutschland vor, noch ein Tor!!!
Euro Cup in what sport?
...football (soccer)
