Euro 2008 Updates.

Now all the Teams played one game each in Euro 2008. What is your take on where it is going? Thrilling? Boring? Entertain? Yes it’s a mixed bag. Definitely we are missing England in this.
Spain with 4-1 victory over much expected Guus Hiddnink's Russian lads was best of all. Spain needs special mention here because they have bright future for sure, youngster like Torres, David Villa and Fabrigas are coming exceptionally good for them. Any football team would dream to have them upfront, they quick, creative and talented. Though I can't call them favorites because of them inconsistency and dismal record at big stage, but love to see them go far in this compition.
Nederland beating world champions 3-0 was definitely a surprise. Marco Van Basten has lot to prove. They haven't done won too many but this time they didn't come here for just participation.
Germany, solid and spirited team can win from any time. They are also looking very good with Ballack, Klose and Podolski. They won 2-0 over arch rivals Poland.
Portugal is one team very consistent and organized under Luiz Scolari good mix of players and of course Ronaldo. They won 2-0 over Turkey.
Can never rule out France and Italy they can come back from anywhere. Czech’s and Croatians can entertain but I don't think they have enough in their belly go far.
Results:

Switzerland Vs Czech Republic 0-1
Portugal Vs Turkey 2-0
Austria Vs Croatia 0-1
Germany Vs Poland 2-0
Romania Vs France 0-0
Netherlands Vs Italy 3-0
Spain Vs Russia 4-1
Greece Vs Sweden 0-2
