I was pointed toward this rather stuperb blog by a friend of mine last week, and felt I should give it a mention.

Euro2008 statistics is a Castrol sponsored football blog concentrating on live in game statistics and metrics accompanied by a typically dry british wit. Whilst I have never been a big fan of statistics or metrics of any kind this is different and offers a really cool insight into the beautifull game.

Look at this pretty picture as a fine example.

This clearly shows that this Croatian gent was running around alot.

Check out the site here.

Ok ok, now I will admit that I am a big fan of football, and that I am enjoying the rececnt euro 2008 championships… they have been great. The football on show in most cases (italians french and greeks being the exception)

But I cant help feeling a certain sense of apathy and dis-interest. I have adopted Spain as my team to support this year.. and they have been excellent so far… but i feel a certain sense of guilt… it should be england….

Looking at the qualityu (or lack oif) from some teams makes me angry… mostly with Steve McLarren.

Thanks Steve.
