Portugal v/s Denmark : July 13, 2012


A super exciting game full of cheers and heartbreaks. It was not a show of great football, but when you have a 5 goal thriller in front of you, who cares ??
Apart from the first 20' minutes, it was full-on drama till the very end. The Portuguese were not amazing, but they were efficient and that is what helped them get the result. Ronaldo was shite, if I alwould have been the Portuguese president, I would have banned him from playing club football. He really needs to prioritize his football and start playing along side the team. He is the skipper and he never even appreciated or acknowledge the passes he got. Bouquets for Coentrão, he was the best player for me.
If the game would have gone the Denmark way, it would still have been fair cause the Danes were good too. They worked really hard to come back from the 2 goal defecit, but couldn't hold on till the end. Hats off to Bendtner
Overall, it was a superb game. Totally worth being a game of the group of Death.

Greece v/s Czech Republic : July 12, 2012

The match started brilliantly with two goals in the first 7' but it died as Greece finally got it's act together and the Czech shut down shop.
To be honest, I was not expecting anything from this game but the first 10' were enough to prove me wrong. The Greek defense was weak and crumbled easily. The Czechs had enough chances to make it 3/4-nil in the first 20' itself. The loss leaves Greece in a very weak position and now they depend on others for qualification.
Coming to the Czechs, the commentators called it luck but I felt it was great football that helped them win. Special credits for Pilar and some brickbats for Rosicky. The 2nd half was a tad boring (especially after the 1st Greek goal) as the Greek could not break through the Czech defense and lacked creativity. Overall, a good, solid performance from the Czech, wishing them the best of luck ....... !
