EURO 2012 POLAND-UKRAINE: SPAIN MADE A NEW RECORD

EURO 2012 Poland-Ukraine finally had ended in 2/07/2012 in Indonesia or 1/7/2012 in Europe. "La Furia Roja" made a new record. Spain has been the first team that can be a UEFA EURO CUP Champion twice in a row (2008 & 2012). Besides, Spain is the first team in the world that can be a champion in three big tournaments in a row (Euro 2008, FIFA World CUP 2012, and Euro 2012) . Spain did a remarkable final for knocking Italy down with 4-0 and it was unpredicted before.

Congratulation for Torres who grabbed the golden shoes, an award for a top scorer. Last Sunday was the second goal of Torres in second UEFA EURO Cup (2008 & 2012) final, how amazing! By the way, there's a unique fact in last Euro Cup final, there were three scorers from British Premier League; Torres and Mata (Chelsea) and David Silva (Manchester City).

Two thumbs up for Iker Casillas who had one goal against only. He got better from time to time and I hope Real Madrid will shine as brighter as Casillas did for the next season.

BEST VILLAIN I'VE EVER SEEN!

1.Darth Vader (Star Wars)

   Darth Vader appeared in Star Wars episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (2005), episode 4-6 (1977-1983).   Based on some movie reviews, Darth Vader is the best villain of all time. I agree with them, Darth Vader has a good personification of both a father and a villain after all. The best scene I love to watch is, when Luke Skywalker (the son of Darth Vader) tried to bring Darth Vader to be saved (episode 6: Return of the Jedi). Finally, Luke failed to bring him in a fighter. Then, Luke open the Vader's mask and voila! Luke finally had seen his father's face for the first time, but also for the last time.It's quite ironic because Luke fougth against his father before, and they couldn't unite to be a family at last.

SPAIN RECESSION AND THE AFFECTION ON RUPIAH

"With great unemployment rate, comes great recession. With great recession, comes great depression". 

Spain is really sinking in great recession. People say no to the government's policy that let Bankia loose from government's hand. It really makes a great impact, EUR/USD is 1.2343 this morning (Indonesia Time Zone). Well, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal depend on Germany and other great EUROPEAN countries for helping  them to get out of this crisis.

Indonesia sense a hardship, too, related to EURO crisis. Indonesia worry about the influence of Euro crisis to China and Japan. As we know, China and Japan is Indonesia main export destination, so Indonesia really consider this. But Suryo B Sulistio said that Indonesia didn't have to worry about Euro crisis because Indonesia has little export value to Europe. On the contrary, Rupiah keeps depressed against USD (according to BI: USD/IDR Rp 9.565,00 May 31st 2012). It is because, the debt crisis in Europe makes Indonesia-Europe trading value falls.
