Finally the day has come.
First match (June 7, time 18:00 SST) between co-host Switzerland vs strong side Czech. My 100% support goes to Swiss.

So here we go guys.......

does it mean Italy has to bid goodbye from first round?....France is tough and Romania is not easier they MUST WIN with big goal margins.....but Im happy for Italia.....go Italy go....go away from first round ...LOL

how about portugal for '08.. quater-finalists '96; semi-finalists '00; loosing finalists '04.. looks like they've set themselves up for a winner '08. love to see dat.

I want Netherlands to win Euro 2008

Lets have some one different, just like Greece 4 yrs back, but not this time. No power house like France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain.

Sometimes, the scoreline is too flattering to deceive. Even when Netherlands won 3-0, anyone who have seen the match will say hardly it was a one sided affair. It was easily the best game of the tournament.  The first goal was offside, and just seconds before second and third goal there was a monumental save of goal one from dutch defender, another from dutch goalkeeper that could well have resulted in Italy goal but rather it ended with dutch goal. Thats why there is such a fine line between winning and losing.

Every ten years Dutch scores a goal that takes world by surprise.
1978
Adrianus Haan  goal in 1978 against italy is still one of the best goal . Here is the link,

1988
 Ten years later in 1988, Van Baston scores a magic against USSR in euro cup. It was one of the most incredible goal considering how narrow angle was.

1998
 Wonderful goal by Bergkemp against Argentina to take his team to the semis.

2008
 it is schhnider against Italy.

I have to say after seeing the match  of France vs Romania,  italy still are going to qualify for the next round. Last time italy lost first match of the major tournament was in 1994. But they still went to the final only to lose to Brazil in penalties. Last euro cup Greece lost to Russia first match. But they went on to win the Euro cup. I know italy will still do because they are the world champions.

NQ bro, all I can say is 'Good Luck'
