UEFA EURO 2008

Hiiiii!!!
This post is going to be about UEFA’s Euro2008.

This edition of the Euro2008 took place in Austria-Switzerland. It started on Saturday 7th June and finished on Sunday 29th June. It was very exciting to see all the matches. I liked it very much, it was fantastic.
The teams that participated in the euro were:

Group A:

Switzerland, Czech Republic, Portugal,Turkey

Group B:

Austria, Croatia, Germany, Poland

Group C:

Netherlands, Italy, Romania, France

Group D:

Greece,Sweden, Spain, Russia

After the first round, the teams that passed to the quarter finals were from group A: Portugal and Turkey; group B: Croatia and Germany; Group C: Netherlands and Italy and from group D: Spain and Russia.

The results of the matches in the quarter finals were:

-Portugal 2-3 Germany
-Croatia 1-1 Turkey (1-3 p)
-Netherlands 1-3 (aet) Russia
-Spain 0-0 Italy (4-2 p)

Now, only Germany, Turkey, Russia and Spain passed to the semifinals.
In these matches the tension was very high as all the 4 teams were playing very very good.
The results were:

-Germany 3-2 Turkey
-Russia 0-3 Spain

The finalists of the Euro2008 were Spain and Germany.

I think it was easy for Spain to go forward as Germany wasn’t at the level it had been in all the other matches, but even though it was a very interesting match.

Spain hadn’t won the Euro Cup for 44 years and it hadn’t been in the final for 24 years. So now that Spain is the champion of Europe, all Spain is very happy.

Spain also won another title; its midfielder, Xavi Hernandez was named the Castrol Player of the Tournament for UEFA EURO 2008.

Now many people in Mexico say that Spain could be a candidate for winning the FIFA’s World Cup.
