European Competition

Slight update based on this week’s games. Ger­many is now 1.5 points behind Italy for the 3rd spot on the UEFA Coef­fi­cient list, los­ing a lit­tle bit of ground as Italy went 2–0–1 to Germany’s 1–2–1.

For us fans of Ger­man foot­ball it was a sad night, but for us foot­ball fans, it wasn’t. The Ukraine won their first Euro­pean title with a team that earned it’s vic­tory.
