Euro 2008

Euro 2008 has been a surprising one for every Soccer supporters. Most shocking news is that there is no ENGLAND in this euro 2008!!! No one expected this shock..As a result of this many,supports turned down to some other teams.. The most expected team to win this euro was the NETHERLANDS.. Orange fever was there in Euro till the team reached Quarterfinals..Surprisingly,they lost to the underdogs RUSSIA where their coach GUUS HIDDINK has been a main motivation for his team..

Another team that surprised the fans is FRANCE..They were knocked out from Euro in the group stages itself..Their group were said to be GROUP OF DEATH where they had Italy,Netherlands and Romania.. Italy and the Orange players emerged as strong contenders for the title..After the retirement of the French play maker ZIDANE,France almost lost their supremacy in Europe..

The Most interesting and less expected team to win the Euro was Spain..Known for their good Defensive plays,they came out easily from their group, thanks to the goals from DAVID VILLA and saves from the skipper IKER CASILLAS.. Their performance led them to lift their 2nd Euro cup in their history,where they met the Mighty GERMAN team..Germans too performed well in the Euro,but failed to capitalise their strength in the finals against SPAIN..Russia and Turkey were another teams that made the whole of Europe to turn back as they eliminated the ORANGE LIONS,The Netherlands ,and CROATIA in the Quarterfinals.. 

Thus,the world has seen a new European Super power to emerge from difficulties and it has been proved..We have SPAIN,the Champions of Europe 2008 and they have many more to prove themselves in the coming period..
