euro 2008 - quarter-finals - portugal vs. germany

quarter-finals

(portugal) : (deutschland)

all hail the mighty germans!

and at half time (HT):-

quarter-finals

(portugal) : (deutschland)

(40′) 1 : 2 (22′, 26′)

mighty germans!

schweinsteiger (no. 7) scores the first goal for the germans. that goal rose the morale and spirits of the germans after an aggressive portuagal start! phew!

and lots of lahm (no. 16) in action with his superior defending. lahm was the lord of the defenders in world cup 2006 and continues to hold his title in euro 2008.

after which klose (no. 11) scored the second goal, making a 0 - 2 game. that goal reduced portugal fans to tears… and klose scored the deciding equalizer that aid germany in the world cup too. life saver of the match.

and his highness thinks that the royalty had great taste. the advisor has the no. 7 jersey, and the protector has the no. 16 jersey. let’s not forget his very own no. 11 jersey.

and at full time (HT):-

quarter-finals

(portugal) : (deutschland)

(40′, 87′) 2 : 3 (22′, 26′, 61′)

and ballack (no. 13) scored the 3rd goal for germany that stop those penalty shootouts, extended time game play. that was one header.

germany to the semi-finals!!!

or a side note… portugal means… port - u - gal

euro 2008 - group d - greece vs russia

group d

(greece) : (russia)

the match that will decided the fate of spain and sweden breezing into the euro quarter-finals. so here’s another LIVE blog text cast.

—

a slow start by greece, showing nothing of the might of the defending champions. where’s the one goal miracle from greece that breeze them to the euro 2004? hmm… his highness thinks that one goal magic was dispelled after 4 years?

and it’s boring play from greece… and lots of good skills and aggression shown on the russian side. and at 33′, a GOAL was scored by the russians. and that’s due to a silly mistake from the greece goalkeeper. shocking news.

a kick from russia sends the ball running for a obvious corner. but the goalkeeper RUNS out off to the side to grab the ball? what was he thinking leaving his goal home? CRAZY

the ball gets a back kick, curving back into the game. that makes the ball still a LIVE one and that means… it’s a potential goal! as his royalness watch… he was thinking… OH NO…

and bingo! jackpot! another russian player goes running in, tips the ball in while the greece players were still puzzled by their goalkeeper who ran OUT?

GOAL!!! omg. and the goalkeeper was the one who probably book a ticket for the greeces to return home… and he’s supposed to be an experienced player with many international appearances. that blunder will most certainly end his career.

and at half time (HT), the score stands at:-

group d

(greece) : (russia)

0 : 1 (33′)

—

and if greece doesn’t do a miracle or buck up, it’s shape up or shit out for them.

and it seems in the second half, with a goal at hand, russia ain’t performing. on the other hand, it’s all greece time. greece with many good shots and aggressive play. but those were all cleared by the russian goalkeeper, who looks really FUNNY in bright green jersey… strangely, he reminds his royalness of william hung…

and then.. russia almost scores! and the greece goalkeeper attempts to redeems himself by saving the ball. and there’s lots of really fast counterattacks from the russians.

and the keeper dives OUT. AGAIN? russia nearly scores! alas, the greece defenders came in time. still, this has been a dry spell season for the greeces.

boring running around shooting around. and so it seems that the russians and the greece simply enjoys falling over, and tripping over… AND falling on top of each other. it seems that falling over each other is pretty much a normal for this night. the sweden vs. spain game was pretty much the same.

10 mins to full time (FT). and the free kicks that gets awarded to russia steps closer and closer to the greece goal… and still the russians miss. amazing. the russians are fast. very fast. it’s a pity their striker’s aint’t world class.

6 more mins. the game continues to be played in greece’s half. it seems the greece have not much space to retaliate. it’s goodbye for the greece? perhaps so.

and greece scores? it wasn’t counted…cos the FLAG was up. and that’ looking bad for the greeces…s

3 mins stoppage time. and russia nearly scores again… lol… greece’s header MISSES..

and it’s over. GREECE’s OUT and is on the way home.

at FT, the score stands at:-

group d

(greece) : (russia)

0 : 1 (33′)

and it seems, the greece flag will fly once more in their last, meaningless game. oops

euro 2008 - group d - sweden vs. spain

group d

(sweden) : (spain)

here’s the score @ half time (HT):-

group d

(sweden) : (spain)

(34′) 1 : 1 (15′)

it was a boring first half. and totally a misery to watch other than the two goals…

there was some nice play by spain and a goal was rewarded for their efforts in the 15′. the swedish scored the equalizer which rekindled their spirits and increased their team defense play.

and then the whole game got REALLY boring with spain playing the passing game from defense and offense. they had ball possession of over 60%. yet, they did nothing magically.

and at full time (FT):-

it continued to be boring with more passing around by spain when second half commenced. spain had many dangerous shots which were all cleared by the swedish defense and saved by the solid, brilliant swedish goalkeeper. that made goal scoring again almost impossible for the spanish strikers.

the swedish magic last till 90′ and into 1min odd into the extra stoppage time. then, the magic vanished as a a long pass from spain, complacence defending in the 2 min odd… and it’s GOAL for spain and despair for sweden. stoppage time for this match was 3 minutes.

at least it seems that the 62% ball possession for spain did some goal in the end afterall…

group d

(sweden) : (spain)

(34′) 1 : 2 (15′, 90′)

spain is into the quater-finals. with 1 more game to bag, they can afford play with the reserves. sweden needs to win or draw in their next game.

but it all depends on the next match where former euro champions in 2004 (greece) battle it all out with the russia (former soviet union). will the former champions draw and lose, lose and lose the game, hence becoming the FIRST former champions to exit with 2 straight losses in a row? how amusing!

if greece wins, and sweden loses… the tables could change.

still, his highness is putting his cards on sweden and spain into the quarter-finals. after all, he supports sweden. go swedish vikings!

euro 2008 - group c - holland vs. france

group c

(holland) : (france)

Watch live video from Jiwang’s Uefa Euro 2008 on Justin.tv

and yes, you are watching the match LIVE again from our the good host at Justin.tv.

note: this livestream might just show other matches OR other programs if you are watching at a time slot that differs from the live euro 2008 match telecast.

***

for starters and as to celebrate, italy drew with romania!!! with a -3 goal difference in their pocket… italy is ranked LAST in group c. that means that there is a high chance that italy, the former world cup 2006 champions will be booking an early ticket back home.

on a side note. or rather, it’s an observation by the world. every time an italia football player or goalkeeper messes up in a major game (be it euro, world cup, seria a), the italian mafias that bets heavily on them usually ends it with some slaughtering when the players get home…

his highness wonders… will the same thing happen if italy goes home early?

—

group c

(holland) : (france)

and it’s now back to time with holland vs. france. his highness has high hopes to see france’s butt being kick by the orange jersey holland players. if france can’t perform tonight, it’s a battle between them and italy for last place. lol. and it means holland will be at the top of the group, with romania as the group c runner up.

and approaching half time (HT):-

an early goal from holland. an early hit to the french’s spirit. at least, it will prompt them to push! ribery from france is doing good. it’s a pity his mates aren’t connecting from his efforts…

and holland continues to have massive ball possession(59% at HT, according to livescores.com. while then french defenders continues to use their huge arms to push and shover in the game to defend from an aggressive dutch front.

good shot from ribery at 34′. he’s a good player. and a brilliant save from the dutch goalkeeper. phew. and a great many attempts from the french. valiant attempts which didn’t bear fruit at the end. good job holland. ya’re watertight in the defense with your ‘a’ rate goalkeeper, conceding zero goals so far in the group matches.

group c

(holland) : (france)

(10′) 1 : 0

and approaching full time (FT):-

wa a great many shots from france in the 49′. france should have gotten the penalty. oh well… looks like the referee won’t be going to paris… he will have a price marked on his head if france doesn’t make it to the quarter-finals…

and at 53′… henry got a clear path with nothing between him and the goalkeeper. he got a little too eager there… shoots and sent it WIDE over the poles. the leading scorer for the french had fumbled at the wrong time. hmm.. darn, why is highness cheering for france now? that because they are playing such good football in the second half.

group c

(holland) : (france)

(10′,58′) 2 : 0

a great goal from holland. the verdict? the french goalkeeper is a terrible player as compared to the dutch goalkeeper. the same situation happen at the dutch’s half and holland calmly removes it… it happen once to the french, and it’s a goal in. my… the GOAL hit the frenchmen’s leg and rolled it…

it looks like the dutch is likely to do a 3 - 0 game. just like what happen in the holland vs. italy match. hohoho.

a great attempt by holland at the 68′, but there was no one to get the cross that could have lead to a 3 - 0 game. sighs…

and HENRY saves the day with a one goal at 71′. it was a cheesy goal. the ball hit his leg and bumped it.

group c

(holland) : (france)

(10′,58′) 2 : 1 (71′)

WAIT!!! at 72′, a goal by HOLLAND, totally wasting france’s efforts. the game is SEALED. henry is crushed after thinking he gave france a life line.

group c

(holland) : (france)

(10′,58′, 72′) 3 : 1 (71′)

it’s back to square one for france. looks like france is going home. holland is definitely going into the quarter-finals.

81′, another chance for france. and he who shoots the ball… fell down when kicking. OMG. more despair for the french.

5 mins till 90′ as france tried hard. henry tried. ribery tried. others tried. bad luck seems to shine. oops. while lady fortune had smiled A LOT for the dutch.

here’s one to poke for her suport to holland.

and OMG. a goal by HOLLAND sealing the fate of france at 90′+ 2 min injury time. and the whistle blow for FT.

group c

(holland) : (france)

(10′,58′, 72, 90′) 4 : 1 (71′)

-3 goal difference for both italy and france. now, who will be last? well, since france lost. italy still has a chance for quarters. this is truly the group of death.

scenario 01: if romania loses, and either italy or france wins, they have a chance to be runner-ups

scenario 02: if romania, romania becomes runner-ups. both italy and france goes home. will romania win? will holland sent in their reserve players which will make it easy match for romania and hence a possible win for them? and this is a possible scenario

then it seems, the fate of italy and france will depend on the decision of the dutch coach and the might of the romania players. whatever the case, italy and france will battle it out. from the looks of it, the bet is on france to win in that up-coming match, and for italy to go home (well, most claim italy didn’t deserve the win in the world cup match vs germany and in the finals)

euro 2008 - group b - croatia vs. germany

group b

(croatia) : (deutschland)

Watch live video from CelticTalk.org on Justin.tv

once again, we watch it LIVE at Justin.tv

note: this livestream might just show other matches OR other programs if you are watching at a time slot that differs from the live euro 2008 match telecast. due to the huge number of fans watching this match, the stream appears to be lagging to our dismay.

—

and at half time (HT):-

group b

(croatia) : (deutschland)

(24′) 1 : 0

and OMG. his highness knows croatia is good. but NOT that good. stinks.

things are not looking good for the germans.

enough said. we shall watch on.

—

and now at full time (FT):-

group b

(croatia) : (deutschland)

(24′, 62′) 2 : 1 (79′)

this is terrible. croatia is now definitely going to the next big game with 6 points firmly in their pockets. they are at the top of the group. germany is now at second placing.

well, at least it’s a good job from deutschland with a 79′ goal from podolski. and a terrible one from schweinsteiger with a red card in hand. he will be missed sorely in the further coming matches.

if croatia wins another game, they will meet the runner-up in group a, which probably will be czech republic.

it croatia loses the next game, and germany wins the next one, germany will meet the czechs which is a better option. lets hope, the next opponent for croatia could do a miracle.

either way, the route is a dark one.

you can do it. GOGOGO

euro 2008 - group d - spain vs. russia

group d

(spain) : (russia)

Watch live video from Maged Tv on Justin.tv

and once again, we have it LIVE from justin.tv

***

it’s gonna be a boring match with spain sending in cute players. spain will win by a narrow margin. at best, russia draws the game.

still. his highness would love a russian win. after all, the soviet union was once mighty

rather, his royalness would rather watch the greece vs. sweden match. former euro champions in greece, let’s see if they retain that shine against the sweden team. sweden is in his royal opinion a great team despite what others think. a tough game there.

they really should just reschedules the better matches for the asian audience. after all, we do need our sleep. and we ARE on the other side of the globe.

***

and at half time (HT):-

(spain) : (russia)

(20′, 44′) 2 : 0

double-o scores by villa.

and at full time (FT):-

(spain) : (russia)

(20′, 44′, 75′, 90′) 4 : 1 (86′)

it seems having too little news on spain and russia proved to be a fatal prediction in this game. spain was all out to kill, only finally giving russia a small little gift in the form of 1 goal to soften their defeat. lol

and that firmly put spain at the top of the tables with 3 points. and a huge goal difference of 3 points. russia? they look like they had booked a ticket home.

now, who would it be? spain and greece? OR spain and sweden who will emerge as the top 2 of the group?
