What a Euro Championships it has been. The best tournament since Italia "90 some say. Villa is our Schillaci, Arshavin our Gazza and, as per, the Germans are in the final. Magicians call it The Distraction and rumours have it that this is happening at the Euros.
All the chat is about Ronaldo to Real and Arshavin to Barcelona when the reality is that Cesc Fabregas is not only making a late run for the "Player of the Tournament" award but also that football agents are circling to prize him away from Arsenal. Arshavin is 27 years old, temperamental and expensive whereas the Arsenal supremo is 21, permanently exceptional and could make Peter Beardsley look a prima donna. Homesickness is still relevant as his momia regularly flies over to cook her special paella, and there is no chance Arsenal can match a Barcelona or Real Madrid wage packet.
