Thank you for joining us on this Sunday
morning, as we bring you all the top headlines from the football world
today which includes. Spurs striker involved in more rumours yet again! Kaka to Chelsea, Thatcher gets another chance. Liverpool in trouble again.. and much much more.
Log on to Football FanCast.com every weekend morning around 9.00am and let Billy Batts save you the hassle of surfing the web and bring you all the top headlines in the football world.
Football FanCast columnist Chris Mackin looks back at the Euro Championships and conducts his own personal awards ceremony.
Football FanCast columnist Alex
Dimond looks at the proposed expansion of the Euro Championship and is clearly
not a fan.
So, the 13th European Championships are finally concluded,
and to everyone's satisfaction now that Spain have been crowned champions.
Deserved winners (and how often can that
be said?) the Spaniards ended a staggering 44 years of hurt. So, by that
reckoning, England should be nailed on for the 2010 World Cup. Well, one can
dream...
Football FanCast's Euro 2008
reporter Julio Omar Rodriguez has
one sore head this morning as jubilation rains in Spain, who have finally laid
the ghosts of 1964 to rest.
What a performance! What a victory! What a team!
Spain truly are the most deserved winners of a
tournament I have seen for a long long time. We have finally laid the ghost of
1964 to rest and Luis Aragones' 2008 European Champions have, in my opinion,
eclipsed that side.

FanCast columnist Sunit Thakurta feels it a grave shame that once again an international competition
is dominated by club matters.
As we reach the finale of EURO 2008, the
focus of attention of the football fan around Europe will be the start of the
upcoming domestic seasons. Club football is the bread and butter for most fans
and why the International tournaments offer a welcome change; it seems too play
a poor second within the media as club matters dominate throughout.
Football FanCast's Euro 2008
reporter Julio Omar Rodriguez is
delighted that his fellow countrymen have made it through to the finals as they
despatch the Russians, who seem to suffer from a touch of stage fright.
It's very difficult to write a review of a game when you are jumping up
and down like a lunatic and doing silly victory dances, so I'm having to calm
down for a while so I can get this done. We are there, finally after all these
years of failure and hurt Spain
have reached the final of Euro 2008 and the boys have done it in real style.
Football FanCast's Euro 2008 reporter Julio
Omar Rodriguez just doesn't how the Germans keep doing it and
feels you will be foolish to bet against them winning the whole tournament.
How typical, once
again Germany are through to a major final without deserving to be and it would
be a very foolish person who would back against Michael Ballack lifting the
trophy on Sunday.
Football FanCast columnist Chris Mackin lauds the Russians and feels Arshavin and his fellow comrades can teach
England a thing or two.
By now you know: Euro 2008 has been ace and everything they
said it would be. Or at least ‘everything
they said it would be' within the
acceptable margin of error we are forced to assign to whatever ‘they' say about football in the modern
spinney computerised graphics and hyperbole leaden times we inhabit
nowadays. So Euro 2008 hasn't cured
cancer or displaced Robert Mugabe but it's been tremendously entertaining stuff
with only a few duff games and there's been a general sense of agreeable good
will about the whole thing; the exact type of football tournament you'd be
happy to take him at the weekend and introduce to your mother.
