Portugal and Netherlands, ready for the UEFA Euro cup

Portugal, the Netherlands and Austria are ready for the UEFA Euro cup 2008. Their national tournaments are more or less over with Porto as the total winner in the Portuguese "Liga" national cup; the PSV Eindhoven winning a fourth consecutive Eredivisie, or the national dutch title league, and the SK Rapid Wien football team winning their 32th national title in Austria.

Portugal players such as Bruno Alves, Ricardo Quaresma or José Bosingwa, can concentrate already in the Euro cup. From PSV, Dutch players Danny Koevermans, Ibrahim Afellay and perhaps Ismaïl Aissati, can already star thinking on the role they may have with the Netherlands national team.

On the other hand, the English Premier League is not over yet and players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc, Fernando Torres, etc, may still have to wait some days if not weeks. It is the same case for the Spanish league and the German league. However, if Barcelona loses next week end and Real Madrid wins, "La liga" might as well be over.

It is almost 45 days to go for the beginning of the UEFA Euro cup 2008 on June the 7th, and we may have to wait a little bit to know which football players will be representing their countries in their national teams.
