• What a superb match, even though Turkey were without six first team players, they were a lot better than Germany and deserved to be in the final
• If you want to see an example of team spirit, there is no better team to show it than Turkey. In the whole Euro 2008, they have made some amazing comeback, they might have made another one but unfortunately it was Germany who scored the late goal this time
• Credit should go to Turkey coach “Terim”. He got the best out of the players and motivated them enough
• Neither of the goalkeepers looked confident in the match
• Even though Germany have been a bit unconvincing, they have managed to get to the final and i have a feeling that they might end up winning it

• France didn’t play that poorly that they deserved to lose by 2 – 0. They had some bad luck and things didn’t go right for them
• France didn’t deserve to reach the next stage. They have been poor, scoring only 1 goal in the group stages. But they did better than in World Cup 2002 when they didn’t score a single goal
• Pirlo is a mid field mastermind for Italy. He and Buffon were superb
• Pirlo and Gatusso will be suspended for the QF, lets see how Italy performs without them
• France coach couldn’t have picked a better time to propose to his girl friend. He knows he might be sacked soon why not marry now
• Thruam and Makelle have retired and we might see the same from Viera and Henry. Its time for the new generation to take over

• Germany doesn’t look like the same team that reached the SF of the World Cup. They are lacking there attacking flair
• Austria are not that bad as they are made out to be. They played decently against a tough German side
• Michael Ballack’s free kick was just superb. The first goal of the tournament from a free kick i guess
• How is Mario Gomez playing. He has missed so many chances in the whole tournament. He can’t score from six yards with a tap in and then does nothing when the ball was in the air. I don’t think he deserve to play
• The best incident of the first half was the sending off of the two coaches

• Portugal may be one of the favourites to win the Euro but this shows that they have a poor reserve line up
• Swiss fans finally have something to cheer about
• Had Switzerland not conceded a late goal against Turkey, they would have been in the quarter finals

• What an outstanding game of football and what a comeback by Turkey
• It was horrible to see “Cech”, one of the best goal keepers in the world performing such a blunder. Well, he seem to be having a nightmarish season and lucky for him, it has ended
• Czech should have finished the game before. They missed some very good chances.
• Nihat was absolutely superb. His last goal was terrific. No One could have stopped it
• It was really surprising to see Volkan pushing Jan Koller when Turkey were in the lead. Foolish act

If any team deserves to win the Euro 2008, it should be Holland. In another scintillating performance, they outclassed France 4 – 1. So in two group matches, they have beaten the Word cup finalists in comprehensive fashion. There one touch passing, counter attack are the best. Here are my thoughts from the match

• If you want to see the power of counter-attack, just watch the Dutch play. They move the ball from one side to another so quickly
• Robben was just top class. Created the second goal and his superb effort might well be the best goal of the tournament
• What was Malouda doing when Kuyt scored the goal. Instead of heading the incoming cross, he was holding Kuyt
• Van Der Sar is an inspiring captain. He made some good saves
• Van Nistelrooy is shocked by the Dutch display. Apparently he is not the only one. Almost everyone is shocked by there amazing performances. Before the tournament, I thought they will not go to round two and they are the first team to reach the QF. Amazing
