GROUP C (GAME 1) FINAL SCORE:

Romania 0-0 France

Neither an upset, nor a win for France, as many would hv predicted.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

GROUP C (GAME 2) FINAL SCORE:

Netherlands 3-0 Italy

(NED: v. Nistelrooij 26', Sneijder 31', v. Bronckhorst 79')

Holland absolutely destroyed the world champions!! Great game!!!

 

[dreamcatcher]

sneijder was brilliant..the goal simply rocked Italy....nistelrooij's goal was a bit controversial..but...all the same..Netherlands rock..hoping for a germany vs netherlands semi...

GROUP D (GAME 1) FINAL SCORE:

Spain 4-1 Russia

(ESP: Villa 20', 44', 76', Fabregas 90'+2)

(RUS: Pavlyuchenko 86')

Villa got his hattrick in emphatic fashion! Fabregas got his first international goal for Spain. Spain have begun their campaign in style. I just hope they don't get knocked out in the quarterfinals this time around... AGAIN!!!

What else can I say? They're such a fine team, but they ALWAYS fall apart at the slightest hint of pressure!!! It's SO frustrating!!!

GROUP D (GAME 2) FINAL SCORE:

Greece 0-2 Sweden

(SWE: Ibrahimovic 67', Hansson 72')

Damn!! Greece bored the hell out of me! The first half was an absolute pain to behold, with three Greek defenders passing the ball among themselves in their own half!!!

Bad start for the reigning European champions!

Wonderful win by Portugal yesterday. Ronaldo back at his best with 1 goal and 1 assist. Portugal winning 3-1 against the Czechs.

In the other game yesterday, the co-hosts, Swiss were knocked out of Euro with Turkey winning 2-1 against them. They could not hold on after scoring first in the rain-soaked match.

Great game yesterday too, with the Croatians winning 2-1 against the mighty Germans.. The 79th minute strike by Podolski was not enough to earn them a draw. Time for Lehmann to retire, perhaps?

In the other late kick-off the Austrians and Polish played a 1-1 draw with the Austrians scoring in injury time penalty.

portugal ftw!!
