With the turmoil that is fast engulfing the west, it is important China not to take hasty action to try to help bail out the US credit crunch though China may have large reserve, on the other hands China and other parts of the globe that is still not adversely impacted should remain focus, to build up more internal demand, same goes for other part of Asia countries and middle East, these positive increase in internal demand will help Asia economy to ride through the turmoil. Eventually a healthy Asia market will assist to help US and Europe to calm down amid the gloom and doom sentiment.

However difficult it may be, US and Europe must try by all means to focus to generate and build up its internal demand market  quickly again. Together with the government interception and correction, the great depression will eventually get through slowly.

The inflation and rising food, oil are not just a outcome of the rising spending and growth of big developing nation like China, India, Brazil and Russia, but rather it is spear head by anticipation couple with speculation and investment in the market, made worst by media news spreading market news like fire worldwide. This flames may not subside that quickly as long as US market economy is in low sentiment and currency is weak which is why the Gold, commodities are running high during period of weak US economy.

Good news is not far away, as already a glimpse of light is showing for US recovery which may be faster than anticipated, however the crucial factor is US must not engage in another war related issue like the approval of sanction war on Iran by approving Israel pre-emptive strike on Iran which if come through will be disaster, the retaliation will not be less, the world will also not wish another war to break out in Middle East sparkling more turmoil amid the worsen US economy, and ultimately when US market crash due to the further rise in oil, and weakening US currency , the impact on the world economy will be heavily felt.

Though US is currently going through a bearish recession but it is not the worst as compare to the  great depression, which current US fundamental are much better. Worldwide economy is much balanced as Asia is fundamentally in good shape and the US recession will not drastically drag the Asia market down. However what impact the world economy are more on the investors, speculators who have not de-couple from the US market.

Unfortunately the much anticipated win by Croatia was not forthcoming, just very unlucky for Croatia so well balance a team had to bounce out early because of a last minutes draw with Turkey and finally got kick out because of penalty kick. It was a day that will be remember long by Croatian in Euro football cup history as a day of tragedy for a rising talent football country from Europe.

Likewise for the astonishing exit of Holland well must be heartbreaking for many heavy betting and fans of total football. The Holland was not playing as fast and as much lethal attacking which it used to in the qualifying round, maybe they have too much confidence and partly they could have been having fun over the 1 week that the players could not move out of that merry mood and so they lost to a hungry young Russian footballer frank by the great holland legendary coach now who have transformed many countries to qualify to semi-final in international tournaments like those from Seoul, Australia etc.

The semi-final match between Germany and Turkey will be heavily betted on German to win as the Turks already have so many first line players out from this match so logically it will be German to be favour to win, however if Turks can hold up till penalty kick they may stand a chance, who know Turks may be the big surprise again.

Between Spain and Russia match, certainly Spain are lot more in favour as they will want to make history to make itself into final. Likewise the Russian is not going to be a easy walkover with the master tactician Holland coach. Russian could win with speed and surprise attack, however Spain lack the lethal attack though they make up with the many star players skill in dribbling.

It will be exciting if Russia and Turkish both make it to the Final, it certainly will be Euro cup soccer history and jaw drop again for many fans in this Euro cup betting.

So which 4 teams are likely to make it to the Euro Cup 2008 semi-final showdown ?

1) Between 2 enciting fast attack and defend team Holland and Russia, chances Holland will still win in that as a whole Holland team individual players are more skill and they work togethe in great union passing ball fast for fast attack rather than flashy dribbling unlike Portugese players which eventually kill itself against Germany.

2)  Between Spain and Italy chances spain are much better team as a whole,  as for lucky Italy the team still seem lethargy, unless the team make it to semi-final it may still be drowsy.

3) Turkey is unlikely to beat Croatia in that Turkey attack is not that convincing, they marginally proceed to quarter final with many players injured. As a team they lack the strategy to win convincingly from the start. 

4)  Germany or Croatia in semi-final? Croatia if make it to compete with Germany, it will stand a good chance in that they beat Germany before during the 1st round match and during the previous Euro cup. A re-match will certainly see Germany for revenge, whether Gemany make it will depend on the 2  players (Poland kid and the white hair kid)given much spacs to counter-strike Croatia attack. If German can withstand onslaught to penalty kick they may stand a good chance.

6) If Holland is to compete with Spain chances Holland will need to dominate the mid field and not to give too much space for Spain strikers. On the other hand once Spain cannot have a early win it will shake the team confidence and energy to win. That’s what happen to Spain, they can’t finish the end if they were to be stucked in a tightly mark middle field.

7) It certainly will be enciting to see final match between Holland and Croatia. Why not Clash of the titan between Holland and Germany? The match will not be as enciting, as Germany is likely to depend on heading to score or penalty kick to seal the final victory, the match will be tightly mark player for player which make the match slow moving.

Though Greece did not surprise anybody by proceeding to the next round like the previous Euro cup but the match with Russia was entertaining. Both team were playing fast attack and defend, few matches really were entertaining like this match,  Russia was playing like Holland with it’s fast attack and defend, this effectively was a better style suitable for Russia than the previous Euro cup where Russia play it slow and steady.

So when Holland vs Russia we are going to see yet another entertaining game, which will be enciting in that both team are Dutch coach who like to use the fast attack and defend by the entire team so call Total Football. The games will be less dribbling by individual players but more fast passes and team formations stikes and defend, defend and attack within.

Going by the book which team is favourable? Holland will still be more favourable because overall they have more skill attackers and any of their mid fielders or defenders can equally be as lethal. As a whole the entire team look balance and there is great confidence within and chances as Holland may proceed to final if they do not end up draw and decide by penalty kick which if happen their chances will be greatly reduce.

It’s time companies and governments around the globe should urge to reduce overtime working, so as to save energy spend for lighting, air-con, electricity power for office equipments. That few hours of extra working over-time which usually may not be critical can actually save energy and save cost for many corporations and countries energy consumption. Plus if all the night comercial leon advertising display lights can be turn off let says after 10pm instead of till next morning 6am it really can be more eco friendly and healthier living for the environment.

Talking about eco friendly, one of the more effective way is actually to reduce cars, motorcycles exhaust smoke, fumes output in the open air. Instead of letting car exhaust fumes emit out from the car, why not let the exhaust fumes pipe go back into an air-tight box at the back of the car, this box can actually have some kind of foam sponge or filter to absorb the car exhaust fume that will effective reduce the smokes in the open area and thus bring down the temperature and more eco friendly. Car owner can go to petrol kiosk to dump this waste or to dump to re-cycle company to transform out as fertilizer or other re-cycle products.

Any company who have this idea will make billion of money creating such products and by selling this patent to create the fume exhaust absorption filtering box for car, for train, and may eventually for airplane, not only makes big bucks but also help reduce heat and more clean air in the world. You calculate the million of cars, motor-cycles, ships, airplanes around the worlds you know how much smokes have deteriorate the clean air quality and increase the temperature around the world.

What happen when Euro cup start, we are seeing more men taking off to watch the long awaited Euro cup soccer 2008. What’s going to happen in the World ?

The tumbling US market, it will soon pick up again, it’s time for the world to take time off to watch their favourites soccer game, time off to have a break, time off to play a different betting games. It’s only once in few years, so the inflation fear, high crude oil prices, high food prices, it’s going to be put aside first, it’s going to be lower volume market for month but nevertheless others will pick it up when their men are sticking to the TV set.

The clash of the titan between Holland and Italy must have amazed many soccer fans who rally behind Italy who have not been beaten by Holland for so many years, how could this have happen ?

We have seen good coordination from Holland and from a start Italy seem impenetrable but how could the wall came tumbling down? What’s style of playing is Holland adopting ? They are still using their all fast attack and defend style but with a twist. The coach have combined Ruby playing style as the ultimate strategy, that is, the player will run forward, passing ball backward and forward, passing left and right within the backward and forward ball control just like Ruby playing style, when the ball is passed between player fast and accurate with less flashy display by individual players it make the team very fast and efficient that what’s the Holland is displaying a trashing to Italy which could have been more than 3 goals if not for the few near miss. We may see more of this style of playing from other Euro countries combining the Ruby style of attacking to more effectively progress their team in the tough games ahead.

India poor infrastructures

India though is on the rise economically but its infrastructures are far too behind time especially all the Estate property, commercial building need rebuilding to compete that with the modern city in most Asia countries and Western countries. Its road and transport infrastructures are also badly design and need big re-shape to reduce congestion and to transform itself to better in line with its rising economic power to par that of China and Russia and other part of Asean and Middle East countries.

Desert Storm

Countries like those in Africa and Middle East countries with big desert landscape will eventually be capitalised first by Europe countries . Below the mass area cover by desert sand are big resources like sands, precious metal and possibly diamond, oil or other materials that can be transformed into other resources use. These likely to be future target by countries lack of natural resouces like Japan and the natural resources depleted Europe.

Middle East transformation

As oil will likely to be depleted in time to come, Middle East countries will build more infrastructures for other wealth building business need beside Oil business to complement the lack of Oil supply in the near futures.

1. A rising Asia market .Rising Asia need not be affected by noise from US fear and bear sentiment, as Asia economies fundamentally are doing well and the economy have already diversified into various region of investments. We are also seeing big growth from China, India ,Middle east and Russia which brought about much investment opportunity for other countries. These Asia growth will eventually help US economy and it will be good, the growth momentum in Asia will benefit the world.2. The impact of subprime crisis.The subprime issue will eventually rebound, ie. The US real estate market will rebound eventually with more international buyers moving in to invest in the low pricing real estate markets and couple with the advantage of lower US exchange rate it time for a good buy.3. Energy and food crisis.The rise in energy and oil prices will affect transportation especially in the airline which may force airline to either maximise the flight capacity or take other cost cutting measure. As for food crisis there is no famine or adverse weather worldwide that impact crop and agriculture volume. The rising prices will look set to cool down over a couple of month later. However the cyclone disaster in Myammar and earthquake in China were misfortune. For the coming months and to next few year we likely to see rebuilding infrastructure the biggest urgent need, rice and agricultural producers countries should not be overly concern about stocking up rice or other agriculture crop to profit. A little inflation may be a concern in the short term but currently life saving is more urgent. Certainly the crisis countries need more donation and help. 4. Year of volatilityWhether be it low sentiment or bear trend expectation, it certainly impact the short term investment but let not forget the longer trend. Expect to see brighter sunshine and less cloud by next year.

Is Gold which is dropping still worthy to buy ?
