Hi everyone!!! This summer is full of sports’ emotions and especially for Spain, who lastly seems to be winning always :P. After the European football championship ‘08, where Spain was the winner … we are thinking to update you with news from the Olympic Games 2008.

The original Olympic Games were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece (and there is where they got the name from). Every four years men from all over Greece were gathered in a sport festival to honor their gods Zeus and Hera.

The Olympic Games are now divided into summer and winter Olympic Games. This year, the Summer Olympic Games will take place in China, in the capital Beijing. As many of you come from different countries and even different continents, it would be great to open the school blog in the morning and get some news (mostly ) about Spain and of (more…)

Hi everyone! SPAIN in the FINAL!!! ESPAÑA a la FINAL!!!

We are all happy to celebrate the winning against Germany on Sunday .

This Euro football tournament has been magnificent!!! I’ve really enjoyed all the matches and especially here in Camino, as we all are from different countries. All teams played wonderful and it was like most of them were whiskered as winner.

I really have to say congratulations to Russia and Turkey! Who would have thought that they would beat countries like Netherlands and Croatia and go to the semi-final? Turkey had a great performance in the field. They lost versus Germany, although I think Turkey played much better and deserved to win. All Turkey’s matches were (more…)

Hi everyone!!!

Here we are again with some news about the European championship. Seven countries have already passed to the quarters; today we are waiting for the last country to pass, Sweden or Russia. The only big surprise of the Championship was that France did not go through to the next leg, but considering in which group they were, one of the ‘big’ teams had to come back home soon…

So, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, Turkey, Netherlands, Italy and Spain have passed to the quarter finals. We are going to see very interesting matches this week, starting with Germany – Portugal. After the win versus Austria with the result of 1-0, the German press has warmed up its tone for the players and especially for Ballack. Germany’s problem right now is Lukas Podolski who might not play in the quarter final match versus Portugal, because he was injured in calf. This is really good news for Portugal .On the other side the goalkeeper Jens Lehman said that he is prepared for the match and that he knows a secret way to stop Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal. However Germany has a lot to improve in its game and this was clearly seen in its last match versus Austria. The match Germany – Portugal will be very difficult, where Portugal is whiskered as winner. (more…)

Hi everyone! Here we are again with some news about Euro football cup 2008

One week has past and we have seen how all the participating countries play and I believe we have created an idea about which countries might pass to the quarter-finals.

Lots of surprises: winnings we have seen and I think lots of money have been lost in bets

Well, Portugal has definetly secured its place in quarter finals. According to Deco, “we aim again to the final and this time to win . That’s why we wanted to rapidly pass to the quarter finals”. Well, they could win this championship as they are in very good form and with one of the best coaches in the world, Scolari.

The runner-up in this group will be between Turkey and Czech Republic and it’s very hard to predict the second runner-up in this group…

I’m really sorry for Switzerland who did not pass to the quarters. As they are one of the (more…)

Greece won surprisingly the Euro 2004 in Portugal. This year seems very difficult to predict which country might be the winner. Probably Italy since (more…)
