Euro 2004 and More
Yesterday was a night/morning filled with superb Euro 2004 live action! The Czechs are the first team to go through to the Final 8 of the Euro competition.
The Czech Republic was 2-0 down against the orange army Holland after goals scored by Bouma and van Nisterooy. Koller struck one back 4 minutes later. They drew level after a magnificent goal by Baros in the 70th min. The Czech and Juventues midfielder Pavel Nedved played a very influencial role in the game. His creativity and strength at mid-field proved too good for the Dutch. His breaks and long range shots challenged the Dutch defense and keeper. In the final minutes of the game, Smicer tapped the ball in after Nedved's long-range effort rebounded off the Dutch keeper to give the Czechs the much needed win. This is the most exciting Euro 2004 match yet - better than the France-England dramatic finish. Both teams were attacking and the fans were treated to non-stop action throughout the 90 minutes. I hope there'll be more of such action in the latter stages of the tournament.
Meanwhile, the Germany vs Latvia ended up with a goalless draw. It was a boring game as the Germans were unable to convert great chances. There're even comments in Euro 2004 forums that Germany's offense was worse than the Singapore's national team. Go figure.
