Euro Qualifiers Kick Off

Fresh off the beat, our Euro reporter Chris sent in this Telex on the recently kicked-off Euro2008 qualifiers that just started. Chris, I know you're sending this from the frozen tundra of Belarus, but you better not bring any of that frozen reindeer meat back to the office this time.

Report by Christian "I Bleed For My Peeps"

Just about 2 months ago Italy took the WC and last night France got their revenge with 3-1 win against the world most famous kelong team Italy.

So another kelong session last night?

Goals from Sidney Govou (2) and Thierry Henry sealed the match for Les Bleus with Alberto Gillardino getting a concsolation. Other scores for the night, Germans walked over San Marino with 13-0 win and Holland defeat Belarus with Van Persie getting 2 goals in 3-0 win.

But England only managed a 1-0 win against Macedonia with a goal from Robo Crouch. At least its better than nothing. UCL next week!!!
