ESPN Euro 2008 Schedule Announced

There was almost a crisis at Euro 2008. But don't worry, it's been sorted now. Seems Switzerland were running low on potatoes, and there were genuine fears that the co-hosts would be unable to meet football fans' insatiable demand for french fries.
Over at UEFA's official Euro 2008 site, they've been polling for the best individual goals in Euro history. I say polling, they're actually only giving voters three options to choose from. I personally would have gone for this bit of Zlatan Ibrahimovic magic but for some reason that wasn't on the table.
