BBC Panorama - Euro 2012 - Stadiums Of Hate
BBC Panorama investigates Polish and Ukrainian racists and ultras, just days before the kick off to Euro 2012. "Euro 2012 - Stadiums Of Hate" With just days to go before the kick-off of the Euro 2012 championships, Panorama reveals shocking new evidence of racist violence and anti-semitism at the heart of Polish and Ukrainian football and asks whether tournament organiser UEFA should have chosen both nations to host the prestigious event. Reporter Chris Rogers witnesses a group of Asian fans being attacked on the terraces of a Ukrainian premier league match and hears anti-Semitic chanting at games in Poland. And with exclusive access to a far right group in Ukraine which recruits and trains football hooligans to attack foreigners, Panorama asks: how safe will travelling football teams and their supporters be at this summer's European festival of football?

Prolly gonna be some incidents caught on TV based on what the local Polish and Ukranian hooligans bring to the table. Yikes. My favorite part of the documentary is the Ukranian police chief saying, "Huh, wha? No, they're not doing a Nazi salute. They're just....pointing at the other fans."

ESPN wonders how Messi will do at Euro 2012, Alexi Lalas doesn't
Messi isn't playing. Because he's from Argentina. Which isn't in Europe. And Alexi Lalas knows this.

ESPN finished its countdown of the top 40 players in Euro 2012: http://espnfc.com/us/en/blogs/Euro2012top40players
The top 10: 1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) 2. Andres Iniesta (Spain) 3. Xavi Hernandez (Spain) 4. Robin Van Persie (Netherlands) 5. Mesut Ozil (Germany) 6. Wayne Rooney (England) 7. David Silva (Spain) 8. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden) 9. Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany) 10. Arjen Robben (Netherlands)
Overall, I'd say ESPN did a decent job with the list. I do think Iniesta, Van Persie, Rooney, and Silva are a little too high, and Ozil is a little low. My top 5 would've been:
1. CR7 2. Xavi 3. Ozil 4. Iniesta 5. Robben
This was an interesting list to follow. They obviously nailed #1 spot on, and I agree that Ozil was put a little too low. Surprised to see Ibra that high.
Excited for Friday! too bad ill be stuck at work!
