A brief look back at EURO 2008
Posted by Martin in Cesc Fabregas, EURO 2008, England, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Spain | 3 July 2008
I've been very quiet here on the subject of the EURO's, though I did get to watch most of the matches on the box.
I was particularly impressed by Portugal, Holland and Spain, and had any one of them won, it would have been deserved. Unlike the Germans, Portugal and Holland played entertaining football, as did Spain the worthy winners. Having seen the performance of the teams in the competition, it seemed fair that England didn't play a part - their football just doesn't come close to that of the Spanish.
There was no doubt that the best team triumphed. Fabregas being key to Spains successful campaign, but I'm biased I guess being an Arsenal supporter! I think the Spanish underrated Cesc's ability, but in the final he deserved his position in the starting line out. Torres made his mark, though he's not someone I particularly warm too. But that's down to seeing him play for the free kick too many times at the Emirates.
So with the cup having come and gone so quickly, the only remaining question is - how many new players will end up in the Premiership, as a result of their performance at the Euros?
