‘Member? There’s No Such Thing As Powerhouse At The Euro 2008 Tournament.

Whas Happened In Sports This Weekend

• Euro 2008: Some people may call Italy’s style of defensive play effective, but we thought it was boring. In the end, Spain triumphed on the prowess of Iker Casillas at goal. Trust us, people. It’s better this way. Spain 0 (4), Italy 0 (2). [IHT]
• MLB 2008: Mark Teixeira’s three homeruns helped the Braves pulverize the Seattle Mariners. Besides that, try saying Mark’s name five times fast. It’s a nice little morning tongue twister. Atlanta Braves 8, Seattle Mariners 3. [ESPN]
• Euro 2008: There’s no room for failure in tournaments and the Dutch couldn’t solve the fierce attacking front of Russia. After 90 minutes of 1-1 play, the Netherlands defense crumbled and Russia capitalized. If you’re a gambler, you better think long and hard about Spain V Russia in the semis because no one should count out the Russians. Netherlands 1, Russia 3. [Independent]
