Euro 2008 is over - Congratulations to Spain


Euro 2008 is over, after some fantastic nights with spectacular games. Spain obtained a deserved win, after winning all games except for the draw against Italy in the quarter-finals. Germany played well and reached the finals, but it didn't shine.

Some strong teams were big disappointments, like France and Italy who played very bad. There were others who impressed, and left the tournament with the head up, like it was the case of Turkey, Russia or Croatia. Personally, I liked Turkey most during this tournament, because of their determination and offensive style. They never surrendered and managed to turn the game in their favor in some situations when nobody believed there is anything else that could be done. The games against Switzerland, the Czech Republic or Croatia were unforgettable, and I can say that Terim's team won my respect in this tournament.

I think the most unlucky teams were Netherlands, Croatia and Portugal, who showed good football in all their games, but didn't manage to get to the semi-finals.

The conclusion is that the most constant team won the tournament. Congratulations to Spain for this extraordinary performance!
