My F##king Ankle has swollen up like a balloon!

At a certain age you realise that the potential for injury at any form of football is ever present. This does not, however, actually stop you taking part in said activity. Yesterday, as part of the EURO2008 volunteer event, a "games" day was hosted in the Volunteer Centre, here in the St Jakob Arena. Whilst there were less strenuous activities like Pool, Table Football and Darts, there were also 3 football skill related challenges. During one of these, a slalom dribbling course, I managed to turn over on my ankle and this morning I awoke with a huge swollen ankle.
You will be pleased to know that in best British tradition I excelled at the pub games (pool and darts) whilst doing well at the football skill challenges but being beaten by the Germans!
Meanwhile back in Bern, you can see the mad orange coloured world of delirious 150,000 Dutch fans after their 4-1 victory over France. Many people now seem to think that the Dutch will be happy to let the Romanians beat them so France & Italy both get knocked out. Maybe, but I think the Dutch may prefer to play teams they've beaten 3-0/4-1 in the Semi-Final rather than a team they only got one point from in the qualification campaign. L'Equipe trys to explain how the French can qualify but no one really knows what the attitude of the Dutch will be.
The best bit is the possibility of Dutch and Swedish fans being in Basel for the quarter final... Need some evidence.... refer here for more.
