This Euro'2008 malarkey is way too predictable so far. Four games gobne, four positive results, the favourites have won each time and the underdogs have not got a goal. The two afternoon games have been 1-0, the two evening clashes have been 2-0. I see a pattern emerging!
Germany are tournament favourites, gamblers out there not put off them by Wales' 0-0 draw in Franksfurt qualifying group earlier this year.
Their performance is everything you come to expect from a German side in that it was ruthless, efficient and clinical so it is with soem irony that both goals were scored by Podolski, a Pole who changed nationality.
It was largely a stroll for the Germans. The Poles, full of names with K's W's and Z's in them (great for Scrabble!), put up resistance and showed heart in the second half after being thoriughly worked over in the opening period but never really looked like getting back into it.
Good News - I've discovered the red button gives Radio 5 commentary - so useful when tv summariser is Mark Lawrenson.
