I am still a little disappointed because I missed the match between Czech Republic and Portugal where Portugal beat Czech Republic 3 to 1. I guess even having the great Petr Cech doesn’t make them any less vulnerable against the Portuguese side which also featured Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Czech Republic still have one more chance to prove they are worthy for the next round when they go up against Turkey on Sunday. Since it is going to be Turkey’s last chance too, the match will hopefully be lively and full of attacking style of play.

Speaking of lively, Germany just lost 1 to 2 against Croatia, which came as a surprise for some people because Germany is considered one of the favorites to win the tournament. But seeing how they played earlier really showed otherwise. Croatia was clearly the better team because they just play better in my opinion.

I think that the Germans felt it too because they are plainly disorganized and were frustrated at times as to resort to forceful tackle and style of play. I’m just glad that no one gets injured, although Bastian Schweinsteiger did get sent-off for shoving Jerko Leko. If every game was played like that, I hope that the players have a good insurance such as medicare advantage.

Anyway, Germany still has a chance of going through to next round if they beat Austria next Monday. But even if they beat Austria, they are likely to emerge as the group runner-up which means hey will face Portugal in the next round. More great matches are on the way I guess, I am just happy to be able to watch. See you later then!

P.S : Score update, Austria 0 - 1 Poland at half time. That’s Euro 2008 Results So Far.
