Swiss leave Euro 2008 in style

Switzerland has beat Portugal 2:0 and Czech Republic lost 2:3 in the game with Turkey.

68-year-old Czech coach Karel Bruckner said:

The third goal was an error and led to our collapse. To lose such a match is incredible, there was 15 minutes left when the first goal went in, they just kept coming until we lost. We buckled under the pressure, it is going to make many nights to get over this.”

For him this is the last time to coach. What a sad way to go.

The game itself was exciting as Czechs led 2:0, but in the end hot Turkish guys beat the distracted and too-soon-to-be-happy guys making it 3:2 and booking themselves a place at the quarter-finals.

I am pleased I have a team who don’t give up and play until the final whistle, we showed the world the sort of team we are,”

-beamed Turkish coach Terim, who is nicknamed ‘The Emperor’. The guy is in total blast!

My favorite football player’s team, and of course I’m talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, gave chance to leave in style to Switzerland playing 0:2

Portugal is already qualified to quarter-finals after two consecutive victories over Turkey and Czech Republic. While that, the co-hosts Swiss have lost to the same two opponents and were hoping to exit the Euro 2008 in style with at least one success.

Four Portugal players received yellow cards, including regular starter Paulo Ferreira.

Nani said:

Maybe things could have been different if the referee hadn’t performed the way he did…”

It was Portugal’s first loss to the Swiss since a 2-1 defeat in a friendly in 1982.

A day before, on June, 14th, Spain succeeded Sweden 1:0 and Russia won Greece 1:0 ,which means they’re off to continue Euro 2008

Russia played excellent, I mean unlike the previous game with Spain.

Guys could have scored more than just once.
