HOLLAND - A SPECTACULAR EURO RUN SO FAR: A PICSPAM

In looking over these selected pics of The Netherlands team during these Euros, it struck me that I've never seen such a confident-looking team! In the beginning I thought pretty well all of the teams who qualified were fairly even. But in looking back over the pics I downloaded, I could see that the Czech Republic's players and those of Poland just did not have that confident look. Other teams, such as Holland, Spain and Croatia, do look very, very confident, and it is now these four that I predict to make it to the semi-finals. The others who are left, Portugal, Russia, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Sweden, don't look particularly confident all of the time. They may falter. So let's see if my theory is correct. I can't wait to watch it all unfold!

So for now, here are some wonderful pics of the Holland team.

SOUTH AMERICAN AND CONCACAF QUALIFIERS: SOME CUTE BOYS FROM THE HOT SOUTH: A PICSPAM

On my flist, aglaiya has been doing some wonderful updates for us of the various qualifying games in South America. I've also been collecting pics, but since a lot of them are identical to hers, I thought I'd just do a post to celebrate some of my favourite teams involved, and showcase some of my favourite players. (I've probably missed a few, so please forgive me.)
