PORTUGAL IS VERY SAD...

The Portugal team had its chances against Spain and it was well known. La Roja was much less fit than in years past and could be surprised by the Portuguese in better shape than ever. But the Portuguese lost in that game a little bit of vista, which allowed them to be so brilliant and cons have left to spend the few opportunities that come before them. With Cristiano Ronaldo now less than in previous games, and much muzzled by a very good Arbeloa they have not managed to surprise the great Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas still impeccable in his cage tonight. The Portuguese defense was, however guarded his camp during the meeting with Bruno Alves good and excellent Pepe will eventually probably best defender in the competition. But paradoxically it is the Portuguese defender Bruno Alves who missed the decisive penalty for Portugal while everything started well for them in the shootout with a goal to stop the shooting Patricio X.Alonso. Hopefully this does not taint the moral Portuguese too, because this team has regaled us during this Euro 2012.

REACTIONS IN ITALY...

Cesare Prandelli the Italy coach was not surprised to dominate, he knew they could control the game. But was especially pleased with his team's ability to not leave spaces on the field against attacks where the English are very strong. He later states "they (Germany) are favorites of course, they have two more days of recovery. But with the same desire that today we have a playing card. "

Salvatore Sirigu goalkeeper of Italy described the qualification as "a very strong moment" and recalls his frustration when a penalty shootout. "During the 120 minutes we dominated, but the kicks it's always a little weird, it's not always the team that played the best that wins. Fortunately, we had the chance to win

Then midfielder, playmaker Andrea Pirlo penalty kicks evokes that had not worked at all before this meeting were against Italy and its panenka him came when he saw the placement of the goalkeeper. And believes that "when you arrive in the semifinals, it is never a prognosis as possible."

THE ELEVEN OF THE LAST DAY...

Compound in a 3-2-3-2 tactic is to goalkeeper Iker Casillas still going strong on his line, he conceded only 1 goal for now. As a defender we will first Portuguese Pepe who was impressive against the Netherlands. For the other two defenders we have Gordon Schildefeld which was excellent with Croatia despite their disposal and John Terry adamant against the assaults Ukrainians with England. As defensive midfielders or more remote we will take Steven Gerrard, English is simply elusive delivering caviar caviar since the beginning of the euro as its partner of our eleven Schweinsteiger. As support strikers we first Jiracek who was named player of the week by goal.com with its liberating purpose for the Czechs. Karagounis then the hapless Greek who offered the qualification and his team who will not see the quarter-final against Germany because of a suspension. Then of course Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo who made a near perfect game against the Netherlands. As strikers we will choose two strikers at AC Milan Zlatan Ibrahomvic author of best goal of the euro for now against France with Sweden and Antonio Cassano who shone with a singular brightness with the team Italy against Ireland...

PORTUGAL ELIMINATES THE NETHERLANDS...

Even with no points to counter at kickoff, the Netherlands could hope to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Euro by beating the Portugal with a two-goal gap. It did not happen. It is actually the Portuguese who qualify after a 2-1 victory well deserved. The Dutch did try to deceive early in the game, opening the score in the 11th minute with a beautiful curling shot from Van der Vaart. But Ronaldo signed his wake in this Euro, scoring both goals of the Selecao (28th, 74th). Without an excellent Stekelenburg, and the misfortune of the Real Madrid striker who hit the post twice, the bill would have been even more salty for the men of Van Marwijk. Big surprise, therefore, the Oranje leave the competition without honor, with zero points. The finalists of the last World Cup, despite an impressive attack on paper (Van Persie, Van der Vaart, Robben, Sneijder, Affelay, Huntelaar), return home with only two goals scored in three games. The Portuguese on the other hand will meet the Czech Republic, first of Group A in the quarterfinals.

RUSSIA ELIMINATED...

Already the end for the Russians, though favorites of this group A. Dick Advocaat players will have failed to confirm the good impression they had left during their first match against the Czech Republic (4-1). Russia will regret its lack of realism, since those are the Arshavin teammates dominated the last Group A match against Greece. Despite many opportunities, mainly in the first half, they have not managed to translate their domination and even returned to the dressing room conducted, following the goal of Giorgios Karagounis just before the break. As a symbol of the lack of Russian realism, Aleksandr Kerzhakov, has not framed a single strike of the entire competition. Moreover, he is replaced by Pavyluchenko after the break, but nothing helps. The Russians grow throughout the second period, but face a Greek wall. So they return home, without having confirmed the expectations placed in them.

UKRAINE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH...

A good start to the match, but the recovery after the interruption caused by the storm, the Ukrainians have not seen the ball and were dominated for the rest of the game. They are given to the acceleration of Shevchenko (34th, 49th) and personal exploits of little consequence for the France team that was never really worried. The Ukrainian team has struggled to create chances, having made ​​only 9 shots on target and did one. Perhaps we can talk about Shevchenko dependence since the cons-performance tonight's Golden Ball in 2004, led the first defeat of the host team in the euro despite the support of the public not cooled by time.... http://www.planetfootball360.com/en/read-article.php?id=2263

SWEDEN ELIMINATED...

Sweden is eliminated, it's official. After suffering two losses in a row, the Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic will go home. If the master has left a mixed impression by showing individualism on the most offensive genius but on certain actions magnificently repulsed by Joe Hart. The strong man is Swedish tonight Mellberg who is responsible for the equalizer against his camp and then Glen Johnson who scored the 2-1, the defender has made an almost perfect copy tonight. We shall now see if the Swedes will try to save the honor against France and if Zlatan will finally scored in the euro or the blow to the morale of the elimination is too strong and they let the French keep their first place of this group quietly.

IS IT ALREADY THE END FOR THE NETHERLANDS?...

This is the second defaite in two games for Bert van Marwijk’s players. Led by 2 goals to 0 since the 36^th minute, the Dutch did not give a performance worthy of a vice- world champion team. We were expecting a clash of the titans tonight in Ukraine.

Robin van Persie’s goal in the 72^nd minute seemed to awaken his teammates’ pride, but it was too late. Exhaustion added to the excellent performance of the Germans, they could not come back into the game.

So the Netherlands are last in group B ranking and could be out of Euro if they cannot win their game against Portugal this week end. They were presented as great favourites along with Spain and Germany to win the competition; Arjen Robben’s teammates seem to have lost their performance level from two years ago. But not everything is lost, everything is still mathematically possible.

RUSSIA'S LACK OF QUALIFICATION...

Tensions between the two countries, between supporters, have not felt in the field. We had a good football game. Archavine master playing the Russian national team began meeting on a flying delivering good passes, creating good offsets and providing an assist from a free kick in ... Dzagoev, the top scorer of the Euro with 3 achievements (37th). But the former Arsenal player did not shine later, wasting the few opportunities for Russians.
Returning the break, Dortmund striker Polish Jakub Blaszczykowski equalized with a superb strike from 25 meters in the open skylight (57th). The Poles have dominated this match, but not really bothered by the Russians, concentrated in defense despite the onslaught of Lewandowski who made a very good game even though he failed to find the fault. Russia did not qualify so now it will retry his luck against Greece on Saturday in a group or even the Greeks can still qualify!

ROONEY BELIEVES IN A POSSIBLE VICTORY...

Wayne Rooney says the England team can win this Euro. Despite only two losses since the disappointment of the World Cup 2010, the three lions have never succeeded in raising a very low level of play.
The change of coach at the last moment, and the long injury list which is in addition Jermaine Defoe who returned today because of the death of his father can only add to doubts about the success of the team England in the European Championship.
Rooney, however, considers that the 23 players present in Ukraine are able to do something and see go up in the competition. They require support from fans saying they should not throw up their hands even when it seems that his team is at a crossroads.

4-0. This is the biggest win of the France team since the arrival of Laurent Blanc in 2010. Against a team average of Estonia, the duo Ribery, Benzema led the Blues to an easy success.

The early game does not augur left yet also a marked success, as France has taken twenty minutes to get into the game. Minutes after the first occasion French, Franck Ribery has deceived the first Estonian goalkeeper following a magnificent one-two with striker of Real Madrid (25th). The latter then scored both goals following the first in a sublime curling shot into top corner, the second a cross from Franck Kaiser (37th, 47th). After six changes made by White, substitutes have also shown, Jeremy Menez closed the scoring after a nice diversion Olivier Giroud.

ITALY DOES NOT PLAY WELL...

 

Shaken by a new case of match fixing, Italy sank Friday night in preparation match against Russia. This was the one and only game of the Italians before they enter the competition in eight days against Spain.

"Paradoxically, it is better to have lost tonight. So we come back down to earth. I remain convinced that we will be ready for the Euro, "said the Italian coach, Cesare Prendelli at a news conference. If the Azzurri account be ready, it has yet to work because the Russians did not steal anything in their victory.
