UEFA EURO 2008 - Best match(es) so far?

I'm watching the Croatia-Germany game now, and I must say, though I thoroughly enjoyed the Holland-Italy, and Holland-France matches to boot, this game is of a very high calibre as well.

Croatia just seem to have such a well planned and controlled game. You never see them doing offsides or playing solo. They always act as a collective and choose to make corners, centers, and passes amongst them which eventually lead them to make some epic goals!

Very impressive so far (I'm well into the first half) and I was wondering what other people here think about this particular match, as well as, in your opinion, which has been the best match(es) so far in the European Championship of 2008?

I agree with you. Croatia has shown that they can play very well.
I like Hollands game so far, they impressed with Italy not to mention France.

The best match was Holland-France up to now

uintil now .. France - Holland
french have the the experiment , and Holland has the best player .

best match is Holland vs France
it's very very bests
and match Cezh vs Turkey
it's high best match

For me best match was Holland vs France.
Today Cezh vs Turkey was very good game too, with very emotion.

The Portugal - Switzerland match is a strong contender for the WORST match of the year.

BTW how did Croatia do against the Poles?

Croatia won easily. It wasn''t a good game but croatia is looking strong :)

The Netherland games were the nicest to see, even the last match, where they were playing with nine subs, was enjoyable especially the 2nd half.

Italy - France was pretty poor as was Germany - Austria
Italy and Germany haven't shown one good game, but qualified. Could be the final :(

And yes the ugly germans doing it again... beating Portugal in another poor match. Best thing of them they scored three times.

Cronaldo was nowhere this match. three minutes to go... it could become 3-3 but what a horrible match

^Agree there with you jetje.

Very unimpressive refereeing, in my view. Many fouls by the German Machine that were overlooked, and every little tidbit, that wasn't even necessary a foul, was counted on the Portuguese side - I mean WTF was that yellow card for Pepe? He didn't even move!

Also, the Germans played dirty. This was not fair play. You saw Balak pushed the portuguese defender when he scored their 3rd goal, I presume? EVERYONE saw that! And yet the goal was still valid! Also at the commencement of the match Nuno Gomes, whilst in the German area, was shoved by a German, to no recognition from the referee.

As I said, this referee should be stabbed.

We should have smashed the German Ex Machina.

The best match is Germany vs Portugal
this match is very good

best match from german point of view,..they played well..but poor portugal performance.. nothing from ronaldo

i think yesterdays Craotia vs Turky was fantastic at the end..

Also Russia agianst Greece..

intralios, I agree. Portugal played well but shouldn't have let itself be overpowered by the mean German machine.

It was an unfair match though, and I've written on many dif. places why.

We should have pwned them (goal-wise and the like).

Let's see what Holland's next match'll be like :D

Russia just beat the crap out of Dutch boys. 3:1

Congratulations !!!! :clap:

That was most impressive :D

The Russian machine shall strike down the mean German pricksters

C vs T was very dramatic.
I haven't seen that much of intense drama for long time.

Germany vs Portugal is best match too

Russia vs Holland, the best so far.

my favorite was romania vs. italia. maybe not the best match but... :rolleyes:
