Spain Wins

It’s been days since I wrote about UEFA. I didn’t updated here. This UEFA was full of unexpected results. Right from the first match I got shock after shock. (Not electric shock. I would have been dead now). Sometimes it was really pleasing to be shocked. But other time it was disappointing. Especially the way France and Italy played.

The surprise package I thought were the turks. They played superbbbb. The match they lost was also a superb match. One of the best I’ve seen. They never seem to give up at any point of time. Always thinking they have a chance to win. That’s the spirit of winners. It would have been great if they were in finals. But doesn’t matter.

The second surprise was Russia. They also played well. The last match they played was a bit disappointing to the standards they maintained. I was expecting a tough fight from them. Though was sure that Spain will win. It was a repeat of the match on 10th. The scores were different but the margin of win was the same.

The final match. Spain with and unbeaten record entered the final as my favorites. They have won 21 continuous matches. Thats a great record. On the other side Germany didn’t really impressed me. They played well but not as winners. Another disappointment in finals. I was hoping for extra time and penalty. But the match finished with just one goal and within 90 minutes. The only goal was scored by Torres. The young Spanish team played very well. And they deserved this.

Some Relief

At least Some relief yesterday on UEFA. Matches went as I predicted. The match between Greece and Sweden was a tough match. Though Sweden won by 2-0 margin the match was leading nowhere till 67 minutes. The goal scored by Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Very difficult name to remember) was superb. I haven’t seen a beautiful goal like this recently. The second goal I call a mere fluke. Although at this level the goal should have been avoided by the goalkeeper. Greece defense is not good. They need to improve. They somehow manage to save some goals in first half. Swedish team played well. Watching them for the next match now..

The other match I expected that Spain will win and that happened. Though the margin of goal was large. i thought may be 2-0 will be the winning margin. The goal scored by Russia was a bonus. But it was executed well. Will Russia play well in coming matches?? Difficult to predict. But they should and give some tough competition. This will really spice up the tournament. One sided wins are not enjoyable.

Now in couple of minutes I’m expecting good matches. Winner prediction cannot be made here. Though in first match Portugal has a higher side due to last match win and the sensation Ronaldo.

Enjoy the games…
