Well, it's all done except the final. So after looking back, ten things I think: 1)Tommy Smyth is the John Madden of soccer. 2)The Euro is too small a tournament to be dual hosted. Giving two spots up is too much. (sorry, Austria and Switzerland) 3)At some point either Julie Foudy or Tommy Smyth had to go. It looks like ESPN made the right choice. 4)UEFA told the referee's not to call anything in the box unless there was blood, a lot of blood. 5)I think the Russians and Turks are here to stay. (no Greek disappearing act) 6)If ESPN keeps blocking the bottom of screen with totally useless facts from 20 years ago I am going to go insane. 7)Instead of chasing legends past their prime MLS teams should be pursuing some of these Europeans not playing in England, Spain, and Germany. 8)I am glad that no one in the mainstream sports media is paying attention. I didn't have to listen to all the talking heads telling the World how they would fix soccer. 9)I love the Nike commercials. 10)I missed England even if they would have lost to Portugal on penalties. What can you say. They failed to qualify. Pathetic
