Euro 2012 Dream Team

The Sun were offering a free 'dream team' were you have the opportunity to select 11 players. You have a £50 million budget and are allowed to make transfers at certain dates throughout the tournament, I haven't decided if I will swap any players. As of right now I have a good reason for choosing every player. Due to the website not revealing who opponents have chosen, I cannot reveal my team until when scoring starts. I am really looking forward to this as it makes watching games even more enjoyable than they normally would be

Euro 2012 Prediction

Again I think Spain will succeed, I just feel they have the strongest overall squad. I think Portugal could do really well, they are in a tough group but I feel that they may get through and go pretty far.  I will try to watch as many games as I can so it's an exciting couple of weeks ahead. I think France and Italy will both struggle this year, I think with more scandals coming out a week before the tournament starts it will just upset the whole squad and although France do have some good players, I just don't see them getting a lot of results. They done well back in 2006 as they reached the final but since then both countries have showed a lot of threat. I thought England would do well in the world cup two years ago, do I think they will do well now ? The answer is no ! They have a really good squad but the problem is when they come up against the top teams they don't win games and that's where I don't think that will change.

Fitness

Still been working out like I normally do and been going longer runs. I am basically doing some sort of fitness every day and it makes you feel healthier and happier. If I had to give any tips for people who find it tough to go for a run or workout, my advice would be to focus of the benefits and then force yourself in getting into the habit of doing various exercises throughout the week, then once you are in the habit just remain focused and always give yourself new goals to keep it exciting. I am lucky that I am very motivated and actually enjoy doing something that's good for you. I will also try and get a few games of tennis in over summer, I have improved a bit at the game but still don't have a strong enough serve to be a threat.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this and I'll be back in a few weeks time to talk to you about the WSOP.
