Laurie,
Here is a story on the drawing lots of Euro 08, divided into 4 “hats”, one team to be taken of each to make a group:

right thats a bold statement that he’ll have a hard time backing up anytime soon. Shevchenko is good and that shot required skill but it was completely misjudged by Frey who seemed stunned/flat footed when it came his way. Even Shev chuckled at it going in afterwards.

Hmmmmmm best striker in European History ? Why the hell he doesn’t do well in Chelsea then?
The best european striker of all time, is Müller. Former german player.
And I think Henry, or Inzaghi are more talented than Shevchenko

You’re all underestimating Shevchenko’s clever ability of ball placement and making the goalie reach for the farthest possible area. The french goalie had to reach as much as possible. Its not his mistake Shevchenko is basically the best striker in european history.

Frey, it turns out, was "betrayed by a lighthouse" on the second goal. Which I think is Google's way of say he didn't see it because he was blinded by looking into the lights (but he's not making excuses). I just hope Domenech doesn't use this as an excuse to never play him again.

[...] Check it out! While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerptUkraine 2-2 France By: Laurie | November 22nd, 2007 | No Comments » What can we say about this game? It was one half of very pretty football and one half of “please let us survive this with a draw.” Fortunately we got the draw. After the first half, I was hopeful. We were up 2-1, Karim Benzema and Thierry Henry look promising together up front, Franck Ribery is back after being hugely missed, Sidney Govou continues his renaissance, Lassana Diarra looks better than in any game since Italy, and [...]
