Some Relief

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

At least Some relief yesterday on UEFA. Matches went as I predicted. The match between Greece and Sweden was a tough match. Though Sweden won by 2-0 margin the match was leading nowhere till 67 minutes. The goal scored by Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Very difficult name to remember) was superb. I haven’t seen a beautiful goal like this recently. The second goal I call a mere fluke. Although at this level the goal should have been avoided by the goalkeeper. Greece defense is not good. They need to improve. They somehow manage to save some goals in first half. Swedish team played well. Watching them for the next match now..

The other match I expected that Spain will win and that happened. Though the margin of goal was large. i thought may be 2-0 will be the winning margin. The goal scored by Russia was a bonus. But it was executed well. Will Russia play well in coming matches?? Difficult to predict. But they should and give some tough competition. This will really spice up the tournament. One sided wins are not enjoyable.

Now in couple of minutes I’m expecting good matches. Winner prediction cannot be made here. Though in first match Portugal has a higher side due to last match win and the sensation Ronaldo.

Enjoy the games…


Disappointing UEFA

/ Guttu / 1 Comment

After the 2003 Cricket Worldcup my inclination towards Hockey and Football increased. And I had this football craze since 2002 Worldcup. I remember playing FIFA for long hours since then. So I was keen about this UEFA 2008. The Germany Vs, Poland match though Germany won I felt Poland played very well. A bit disappointing performance from Germany. And then yesterday.

I never imagined that Italy will loose so easily and that too by 3-0 margin. Truly disappointing. Are they World champions?? was the question which striked me many times while watching this. Though there are controversies about first goal being offside( which i think is right) I was expecting much better play from them. The Polish team played well. Or should I say played very well.

The other match between France Vs. Romania. I said blindly France will win by good margin. And what is the result. A 0-0 draw. If such things continue to happen then I’ll have to stop watching Football also. I was cursing Tata Sky, My DTH operator, for removing the sports channels at the start of this month. Just because I’ll miss UEFA. Though they revert back to their changes and now I can watch full UEFA, Now I feel not to watch.

The next match I’m interested is Greece Vs. Sweden. expecting to be a tough match. I hope this match doesn’t disappoint me.
