For those of you interested in the European Football Championships, which start in just over a week’s time, I’m pleased to report that we have today launched our blog in English, called Euro 2008 - the armchair fan. That’s because, like most people, we’ll be following events at home on TV. We did one four years ago for Euro 2004, but I ended up writing most of it myself as blogging wasn’t something in the consciousness of most people at RNW. This time, it’s going to be more of a team effort, appropriately enough.To open the blog, Theo Tamis has a personal view of last night’s friendly in Eindhoven in which the Netherlands only managed a 1-1 draw with Denmark. He’s concerned about the shaky defence.
I’ve also added a commentary about something that appeared in our local paper yesterday, claiming that people in my neigbourhood are among the least enthusiastic about supporting the national team.
