*update*: Azzurri's luck has run out...maybe it was fully utilised at the World Cup in Germany 2 years ago. They were soundly beaten by the Dutch 0-3. Full match report at Euro 2008 MatchCentre here
beginning today, Austria and Switzerland will host the month-long Euro 2008 tournament checkout the official site here
as always, i will fancy the Azzurris to do well, fresh from their World Cup exploits in Germany 2 years ago. Could they perform the double?, a feat achieved by the French when they were crown World Champion in 1998, followed by the Euro 2000 title
