Talk of the town
Summer is here, so markets are definitely quieter now, with traders and sales people going on holidays…it’s movies and sports that are taking centre stage in everyone’s lives. This week, apart from oil prices breaching $142/bbl (rising oil prices are in the headlines every week, if not every day…but they are surprising people less by the day), the main events have got to be Wimbledon and Euro 2008.
Starting with Wimbledon, CNBC, for two consecutive days, in their desperate attempts to remain a financial news channel and yet report some sports stories, commented on the rising prices of strawberries and cream outside centre court…hint hint…inflation in the UK is rising! But I’d recommend switching to other channels if you want to find out results of matches going on at the moment…the Murray-Haas match was quite a thriller; but no doubt the biggest upset so far was third seed Djokovic’s loss against Marat Safin. Don’t get me wrong…Safin is a good player, but only on his day. And on this day, while Safin no doubt played well, it was more that Djokovic played horrendously that resulted in his exit. He started the match with a doubt-fault, and ended it one as well! Overall, my money is still on a Nadal-Federer final, as both are looking very good indeed.
Since today is the traditional rest day at the championship, the talk of the town is no doubt Euro 2008 finals. Germany are probably going in as the favourites, but with Ballack pulling a calf muscle and being doubtful for the final, the use of the word ‘probably’ is probably justified! Either way, doubt anyone will be furious if Spain were to go ahead and win, since they have really, never won anything ever. Then again, Germany have not won anything in a very long time…At the moment, I’d say it’s a pretty 50-50 chance for either team really!
