Who impressed in Euro 2012 so far?


I wish I could tell you how the Europe's biggest football party is unfolding, but then, I can only hope it is well. Many expected us to cover the matches. Unfortunately, we do not have full-time journalists and most of the stuff you need is 'googleable'.

E-Diski will always endeavour to provide you with a different view-point of everything. Something you will never findd on google or on the net. Hard as it is, we try and will keep doing that for your value. Even, in the book, The Anatomy of Football (get yourself a copy ASAP) whatever is covered in there, you will not find in any coaching manual.

The issue of racism threatened to overshadow the Euro 2012. Fear to offend others has caused the issue to be dealt with inefficiently. UEFA's hope has been that the issues never overshadow the football spectacle. Their faith is that if it comes up, it may be 'coverable.'

To many, racism is words. In actual fact, it is a mentality. Frankly, it is the insecurity caused by the realisation that the only white thing about oneself is the skin. Or their blackness for that matter. That is so sore.

Enjoy the matches and hope to hear what the first actions of the first round matches have done for you. At this point, I guess you can still change your predictions for the winners. I went with the Dutch, and I still bank on the Dutch.

Let's hear what you have seen.
