GERMANY AND ITS PERFECT NUMBERS IN THE EURO 2012


The EURO 2012 has finally begun and Germany has started with perfect numbers in this competition. They have played four games up to now and they have won the four of them.

The first game was :


      GERMANY   1                      PORTUGAL 0










In this match,  Real Madrid teammates  were playing opposite sides. Cristiano Ronaldo, Coentrao, and Pepe's Portugal  were playing agaisn Mesut Oezil and Sami Khedira's Germany. 















Mario Gomez scored and Germany won against Portugal his first match in the Group of Death. A difficult match with a great result. 



The second match was:

NETHERLANDS  1                    GERMANY 2


 










This game was "THE CLASH OF THE TITANS" since two of the favorite teams to win this competition played this match. Once again teammates from the same club were looking each other's faces  Robben  met Bastian, Neuer, Boateng, Lahm, Mueller, Gomez, and some others in this match. 















Super Mario Gomez scored the two goals for Germany and they defeated Netherlands.  Van Persie scored the goal for the Dutch. 





The third game of the Group of Death was:



DENMARK 1                   GERMANY 2 

 











This was not an easy game at all since Germany had to win this match to be the first of the group and avoid meeting Spain in the next round. 






Podolski scored the first goal for Germany. 







Then Khron- Dehli scored for Denmark.


At the end Lars Bender scored for Germany. 






Germany won its third game and passed to quarterfinals. 




The quarterfinal's game was 

GERMANY   4                            GREECE 2 

 









Germany showed all their potential and strength to the Greeks scoring four magnificent  goals. 















Now Germany has advanced to semifinals and it is eagerly waiting for its opponent that could be either England or Italy.

UEFA EURO 2012 GROUPS "C" AND "D" RESULTS






Group "C" from the EURO played last Sunday 10, and the opener match was Spain vs Italy. Spain , as the former European Champion, is the favorite team to win this competition.  Italy did not put things easy to Spain in fact the final score was 1-1. The first 30 minutes  from the first half Italy played their game and did not allow Spain to control and move the ball cutting Iniesta's and Xavi's connection. The first half ended 0-0. The second half was totally different from the first one because Spain controlled almost all the second half . However the first goal was scored by Antonio Di Natale who came off the bench to score the first goal of the match. After three minutes spain  equalised for a 1-1. Cesc Fabregas , who scored for Spain, said that is not easy to be the favorites but Spain was happy with the final  draw 1-1. 


SPAIN 1                                ITALY









The next match was Republic of Ireland vs Croatia.  Two goals from Mario MandĹľukić  ruined Ireland's long- awaited return to a EURO finals as Croatia opened up with an impressive victory in Poznan.  Nikica Jelavić  scored  one of the three goals  for Croatia. Ireland scored just  one goal. It was Sean St Ledger who scored the goal. 






REPUBLIC OF IRELAND  1         CROATIA 3


















Group "D" made his debut this Monday 11. The first match was France vs England. France was the favorite for winning the match. However the match was as told by many boring and lacking of excitement. The final result was a draw. Goals were scored by Lescott ( England) and Nasri (France).  




FRANCE 1                     ENGLAND 1 



















Second match of the day was  Ukraine vs Sweeden.Ukraine began UEFA EURO 2012 in dream fashion with a 2-1 comeback defeat of Sweeden in Kyiv to take the nearly lead in Group D. Andriy Schevchenko Captain of Ukraine scored the two goals for his National Team becoming the man of the match.  Sweeden    scored one goal and Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his contribution.

UEFA EURO 2012 GROUP A and B RESULTS OF THE FIRST MATCHES





The first match of the EURO 2012 took place last Friday 8th and the final results for each match were: 


GROUP A 

Poland vs Greece was a game with not too much excitement for many people  and with a  final result that shows that both teams were not so accurate. Much more was expected from Poland being one of the host cities for this competition. The two goals were scored by Robert Lewandonvski (Poland) and Dimitris Salpingidis (Greece) . 


POLAND     1                       GREECE  1








Russia vs Cezch Republic was a match that surprised many people since many of them did not expect Russia to score 4 goals in their debut. Russia showed no fear for the Czech Republic and made a blistering start to group A. The first goal was scored by Aleksander Kerzhakov,  Alan Dzagoev scored  twice , and Roman Pavlyuchenko scored the last one. Besides Andrey Arshavin contributed with two assists to Russia's victory. Vaclav Pilar scored the only goal for Czech Republic.  

RUSSIA  4             CZECH  REPUBLIC 1
  

GROUP B

The Death's Group made their debut this last Saturday 9th. Holland vs Denmark was a game that created a lot of expectation since Holland is one of the favorite teams to win this competition. However, Denmark defeated Holland 0-1   surprising many that assured that Holland would win the match. Holland had many chances to score but couldn't define them.  The single  goal was scored by Michael Krohn- Dehli. 


HOLLAND 0               DENMARK 1


    


Germany vs Portugal was the game that kept everyone in front of their TV waiting to watch a great football match. Germany is one of the strongest candidates to win this competition but the last Saturday they did not show their best performance. The game was settled by a single goal scored by Mario Gomez . This result shows clearly how tight this group will be. Portugal players mentioned that they felt like if they did not get the result they deserved it but they were not lucky to score when  they had their  chances.  Let's wait for the next matches . 

GERMANY 1                    PORTUGAL 0




Tomorrow I will write a post in which I will include the Sunday and Monday matches Group C and Group D .
