Euro 2008

Previously, beautiful football was rated only good to watch but do not guarantee victory, even less vulnerable. Moreover, in Euro 2004, Yunani proved himself as a champion, though not beautiful football. They just play pragmatic, focusing on defense, then steal a goal through a counterattack. The beauty of Portugal who was judged Yunani.

However, the appraisal is disproved by the 2008 European Cup. Here, the beautiful and attacking football talk. Dutch still exhibiting attacking football to very productive, beat Italy 3-0, France 4-1 and Romania 2-0. Holland was eventually lost to Russia and the public was again doubted the effectiveness of attacking football and beautiful. But, it again denied by Spain. The team that dominated the Barcelona player, as if applying the beautiful game and attack the Catalans. And Spain did look amazing.

In the group stage, they beat Russia 4-1, and each won 2-1 over Yunani and Sweden. Then, they beat Italy 4-2 and 3-0 to beat Russia again. In the final, Spain 1-0 win over Germany. Spain after the 1964 European Cup champion had never won an international title, now find glory again. In fact, the 2008 European Cup as a showcase for the Spanish team to show their strength. Records are great in their record.

“La Furia Roja” was also recorded in the history of the European Cup which took place in Austria and Switzerland. The team which was then coached by Luis Aragones became the second team capable of winning all matches in the group stage and came out as champions. One other team could match the record it is France at Euro 1984. In addition, Spain became the first team after Germany was never defeated in the 1996 European Cup. Toughness Spain increasingly seen as the two players won the title as top scorer and best player of Euro 2008. Striker David Villa became fertile with striker scored four goals, while midfielder Xavi Hernandez is featured as the best player. Emergence of Spain as the winner was slightly deviated from the predicted one. Previously, the pre precisely Portugal is a show with their best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, or the Netherlands which appeared full of determination.

Portugal is pathetic putty in the hands of Germany which is actually not favored when they met the troops Luiz Felipe Scolari. While the Netherlands is more tragic than Russia‘s 1-3 defeat that ironically when it is handled by the Dutch coach, Guus Hiddink. Certainly more surprising fact that France’s failure to qualify from Group C after allowance for picking just one point only. In addition to the above note, there are some interesting facts that could be recorded in the European Cup performances this time. Switzerland and Austria for the first time to host the European Cup. Austria also made his debut in this four-yearly event with Poland. Unfortunately, both ended in failure debut escaped the group stage and only able to reach one point from three matches to be lived. However, it was a fair result. Because, at the Euro 2008 teams to find a form of football was incredible. The team was none other than Spanish. They not only exhibit beautiful football, but also effective. Spain was eventually won the tournament and winning football while emphasizing the beautiful and attack.
