EURO 2008 - Quarter Finals

I'm back with my review of the EURO 2008 Quarter Finals. I will put the teams that impressed me and disappointed me the most.

Most impressed by:

1. Russia - This team is just great. In Arshavin they have one of the best players in the world at the moment. The managed to play total football much better than its creators.
2. Turkey - For the second time running they were on the verge of elimination and made it back and are now in the semis. Their never say die attitude is just great.
3. Germany - They weren't favourites against Portugal, yet they managed to win. They are as strong as usual.

Most disappointed by:

1.Holland - They humiliated the World Champions and Vice World Champions, but against Russia, they couldn't do anything. They found a team that plays beautiful football better than them.
2. Portugal - They were one of the huge favourites, yet the team of Ronaldo and co. lost to Germany and yet again got eliminated early.
3. Croatia - They were playing great, they got ahead on the 119th minute, but with 2 mins left they didn't secure the result and ended up eliminated.
