I figured I'd throw a bone to all our European members who actually care about things like soccer (I'm not going to call it "football" no matter how much you whine) and mention the Euro 2008 soccer thing that's going on.
So, there was a match between Germany and Austria on Sunday in Vienna...
"But wait," you knowledgeable European soccer fans protest, "Germany didn't play Austria last Sunday! They played a week before that!!"
And while that may be true, the more interesting soccer match between Austria and Germany actually was played this past Sunday:

VIENNA, June 15 (Reuters) - Whether it has any bearing on Monday’s crunch Euro 2008 match between the two countries is debatable but Austria drew first blood on Sunday when their topless women’s soccer team beat Germany 10-5.
The traditional swapping of shirts afterwards was not an option as the six-a-side teams wore nothing but thongs, with the national colours painted on to their bare skin.
The football may not have been of the highest quality but that did not temper the enthusiasm of a mostly male crowd boosted by a sizeable media presence only too happy to desert Euro 2008 training for an hour or two.

If I'd known there were topless chicks playing this goofy game, I would have become a fan long ago. Beckham should get his wife to join the topless league - that'd be sweet.
Even the fans are tasty.
