The Euro Championshp enters its 7th day today. As usual with big tournaments like this, there has been upsets, heartbreaks and triumps depending on how your team is performing.
The countries that has impressed me so far are Croatia, Holland and Portugal more so Croatia cos they are one the outsiders but with the way they dispatched a very strong German team brings to fore that they are also a force to reckon with.
The two host countries has not really performed to expectations with Switzerland already out of the competition and Austria just barely hanging on.
Meanwhile, the Transfer market is still very much active and with the recent appointment of Felipe Scolari as new Chelsea coach a lot of players has been linked coming to Chelsea because of him:
