So much sport, so little time!

Wow, what a summer for sport. Euro 2012 finals, Ireland's rugby tour of New Zealand, Wimbledon, Olympics... maybe it's a good thing that we're away from the end of July. Otherwise I might not step foot outside! I was very surprised that Germany lost against Italy in the semi-finals of Euro 2012 - I had said that it would be Germany v Spain in the final from about the first week. Sometimes surprises happen. Another such surprise is that Rafa Nadal is out of Wimbledon already - does this give Andy Murray more hope of winning Wimbledon? We'll see - there are still quite a few matches to go. I noticed that while watching sporting events on TV, I'm always hoping that the underdog will come back and win against the run of play. Take Greece for example in Euro 2012 - I was always hoping that they would win their games, and I was delighted when they qualified for the quarter finals, and well, Germany were just too good for them in the end. It would be great if some Olympic medals were brought back to Ireland this summer - we definitely have talented athletes - here's hoping that all goes to plan on the day. Now, back to this Murray v Ferrer game...
