Spain vs Germany 1-0 UEFA Euro 2008 Final! Spain the champs!

Spain without Villa didn’t seem to have much trouble dealing with Germany. They have lifted the 44 year old curse that I didn’t think could be broken. They have a history of losing against teams they should defeat and now they’ve went all the way and become the UEFA Euro 2008 CHAMPS!!

Torres scored the only goal in the 33rd min, a real fighter goal! A pass from Xavi with a flying Torres blazing after it getting passed he’s defender and just making it to the ball for a chip over Lehmann.. beautiful goal!

Well deserved WiN, SPAiN are the champions!

Germany vs Turkey 3-2

Goals at ‘22 Boral, ‘26 Schweinsteiger, ‘79 Klose, ‘86 Sentürk, ‘90 Lahm.

Had the feeling Turkey was going to go through watching this game. The first goal was lucky for the Turks Sanoglu hits the crossbar and it falls for Boral who just shoots it at Lehmann who fumbals on it but aside from that the Turks were in control, according to UEFA’s stats it was 20 against 9 in total shots for the Turks they also had 54% possession.

Turkey vs Croatia the better team didn’t win!

Goal at ‘28(ET) Klasnic, ‘32(ET) Sentürk 1-1 ET - Penalties 3-1 Turkey wins!

The best 6 chances of the game were all Croatian (before extra time)
18 min CRO, horrible miss from close by Olic who hits the bar.
50 min CRO, Olic with a great chance wasted.
70 min CRO, Rakitic with a great opportunity but its wasted high over the bar.
83 min CRO, Srna with an excellent free kick, super save Rüstü!
89 min CRO, cross from Modric to Olic with a slid in but its straight at the goalie.
91 min CRO, great chance for Olic but he blasts it over the bar.
End of ordinary time.

Extra Time:
Turkey played the first half better than Croatia I have no clue what the Croatians were thinking they should have thrown everything at Turkey cause they already shown they are unable to score so why would you want penalties. The second half of extra time was more even.

6.34 Ivan Klasnic steps on the field, actually wrote down the time cause I thought he would be the player to change the game but that wasn’t the case he did score at 29 min of Extra Time but than they managed to throw it away. I didn’t see Turkey getting through throughout the entire game but than they score at the last minute of the game in ET. 32 min, Sentürk scores and I missed it :(

PENALTIES
CRO: L. Modric MISS
TUR: A. Turan SCORE
CRO: D. Srna SCORE
TUR: S. Sentürk SCORE
CRO: I. Rakitic MISS
TUR: H. Altintop SCORE
CRO: M. Petric MISS

Best player of the game was Turkey’s goalkeeper Rüstü without a doubt !!

Germany vs Portugal 3-2 did they deserve to win?

Goals at ‘22 Schweinsteiger, 26′ Klose, 40′ Nuno Gomes, 61′ Ballack, 87′ Hélder Prostiga.

3 min POR, Ronaldo with a chance maybe should have passed the ball instead.
6 min POR, Deco heads it towards Nuno Gomes almost a great chance.
14 min POR, Deco to Simao but a useless shot from a bad angle.
18 min POR, Nuno pass Ronaldo who almost gets too it, great defending Germany.
19 min POR, the best chance of the game so far but Deco blows it.
21 min GER, Podolski with a great run he crosses it in and Schweinstiger pounce on it 1-0 GERMANY!
25 min GER, Schweinstieger with the free kick and Klose with the header it’s 2-0 GERMANY all too easy this is a defender mistake no-one had him.
40 min POR, Ronaldo with a shot its saved but falls for Nuno Gomes he scores 1-2 and its GAME ON!
45 min GER, Great shot by Ballack and it’s a good save.
45 min POR, Ronaldo with a shot from a bad angle and it’s close!
End first half.

46 min, Freidrich obviously steps on Ronaldo’s foot intentionally after the whistle has gone I would give red for this!
50 min GER, Hitzlsperger with a shot it heads far above the goal.
51 min GER, Goal by Deco is denied for being offside and it was but not by much.
56 min POR, Pepe with a header of Deco’s header and it was a great opportunity but so fast he didn’t have much time to react.
61 min GER, Schweinsteiger with a free kick that finds Ballack who pushed away hes defender!! that should have been a free kick for Portugal but instead Ballack heads it in and it’s 3-1 GERMANY!!
67 min POR, Ronaldo with a free kick but it’s too high.
68 min POR, Nani with a great run almost gets through, ball cleared by the last defender well done Germany.
70 min POR, Petit with a shot but straight at the goalie.
78 min GER, Podolski with a powerful shot from far out that goes just outside.
86 min POR, Nice work by Nani pulling 3 defenders and an excellent cross to Prostiga who heads it in 2-3 PORTUGAL and game on ones again!
90 min GER, Great chance for Borowski wasted.
91 min POR, Nani with a great shot but its high.
94 min GER, Podolski with a great chance but shoots it straight at the goalie.

This game should have went to extra time after 2-2, since 3-1 shouldn’t have been a goal instead it should have been 2-1 and free kick for Portugal after Ballacks push on the defender. It was a very even game, however Portugal was making defensive mistakes while Germany looked very solid.

The best player from etch team (according to me):
Schweinsteiger and Deco

PREDICTION ON UEFA EURO 2008 QUARTERFINALS !!

This is my prediction of the UEFA EURO 2008 quarterfinals and like always when it comes to one match deciding which team goes through it’s not always the best team :) Don’t take this to seriously like I said this is my prediction if you feel like it will end otherwise you can just keep it to yourself or leave a comment!

Portugal - Germany - Portugal goes through (even game)
Portugal hasn’t really impressed me but than again they never do they just win by a goal and go through comparing them to Germany gives them an advantage though since Germany has really been weak the only player I even notice is Podolski cause at least he tries. Ballack has been very vague and if it wasn’t for the powerful free kick goal he scored I wouldn’t even write anything about him. I think this game will be the Ronaldo show or that’s what I’m hoping for to see some excellent solo performance :)

Croatia - Turkey - Croatia goes through (even game)
Croatia probably being the most solid defenders in this tournament are looking strong. I don’t think they will win the Euro 2008 but defeating Turkey they probably will. Turkey got to the quarters after Nihat scored two late goals ‘85 and ‘87 min turning 1-2 to 3-2 against the Czech’s a game I would have liked to have seen :( Turkey used to be one of the teams I respected but they just have been getting worse and worse losing to shitty teams so I can’t see them winning but Nihat might make it interesting enuf to watch at least.

Netherlands - Russia - Netherlands goes through (easy win)
The quality of the Dutch game so far has been just amazing and having probably one of the worlds best players ever as their coach does matter. Everyone wants to show of for Van Basten they will be in the final and Russia can’t stop them. Russia has been playing well their offensive football is fun to watch and has really just been getting better and better with the defeat of Sweden being their best game so far which they deserved and it could have ended with more goals for the Russians.

Spain - Italy - Italy goes through (even game)
This is the only game were I don’t have the favourites as winners because Spain has a history of screwing up even when they start of well in a tournament, I don’t know why maybe they attack with too much people and get punished. I think that Spain has a better team than Italy and maybe the two most lethal finishers in the whole tournament Villa and Torres but still they will lose and that’s sad :(

Russia vs Sweden 2-0 easy win!!

Goals at ‘24 Pavlyuchenko ‘50 Arshavin

I’ll keep it short since I wasn’t really paying attention to the events of the whole match but I can tell you Russia was everywhere and helping out etch other while Sweden looked confused and being completely run over. This game could have ended 4,5-0 not saying Sweden didn’t have any chances I’m just saying if you put them all together Russia would still come out on top by dangerous chances that neither team scored on. A sad display by Sweden which is usually very defensively skilled the better team won and now Russia gets to lose vs Holland in their quarterfinal :)

The Russian Kolodin decided to fake a hit to the face at ‘75 min played. Someone should let him know about slow-mo and he won’t have to embarrass himself. At least he got yellow carded for the challenge, just hope refs will keep an eye on players like that!

There was some news a few days back about the Russian team getting 11 million dollars if they beat Sweden don’t know if it’s true but that would motivate anyone :)

Good luck Russia, nice display of offensive football today!
