Oh thank goodness for the Euro 2008 tourney! With the Hornets on break, my soccer news would be a choice between the new look of the GloryHorns forum (I suppose I'll get used to it) or 8-0 blowouts of Barbados by the U.S. National Team.
But instead we had a match run right to the final whistle (and still avoid penalty shoot-outs) as a 90th minute goal by Phillipp Lahm ended Turkey's bid for another come-from-behind victory in the their semi-final match.
Turkey, having pulled multiple rabbits out of their collective hat, were down nine men from injury or suspension yet equalized in the final five minutes only to have Hitzlsperger's pass find Lahm open in the final minute of regulation.
It's Spain & Russia tomorrow with the winner facing Germany in the final in Vienna on Sunday afternoon (St. Louis time). ABC will carry the final.
