That's the end of the main football event of the last 2 years. Based on its results, we can safely say that everyone can play football, but only Spain wins anyway. The Red Fury wins the European championship for the second time in a row, and in between these events she also won the World Championship. There has never been such a dominance of one national team over others in the history of football!
Expected
Since I started my story about Euro 2012 with the Spanish national team, I'll start talking about what I personally and many football fans expected from the tournament. I think few people doubted that the Spaniards would be able to reach at least the semifinals, and many also believed in their final victory. That's what happened in the end. Spain experienced only minor problems in the semi-final with Portugal, and in all other games it achieved the necessary result "with little blood". This can be said about the first match of the group stage with the Italians, when the Spaniards very quickly responded with a goal to an effective attack by their opponents, and about all other games. It is especially worth noting the final match, in which Spain won with a score of 4:0. Of course, no one expected such a defeat, but almost everyone was betting on Spain's victory.
It is quite expected that the teams of England and France entered the playoffs of the tournament. Another thing is that the British played the second number throughout the tournament, even in the match against the Ukrainians. And if it hadn't been for the referee's mistake in not scoring a clean goal for the hosts of Euro 2012, it's not a fact that England would have gone through.
Italy's exit from the group was quite expected, but I would pay tribute to the Croatian national team. The Balkan players played a great game, and they looked no worse than the Italians, just the latter were a little more lucky.
The strength of the German national team was known to everyone. But the way the Germans swept through their rivals looked impressive. Four wins in the first four matches and reaching the semifinals. This is the minimum that everyone has been waiting for. Although, everyone expected that Germany would have no problems getting to the final. But then it's time to be surprised.
Surprises
The main surprise of the tournament was that the Italian team reached the finals. Creaking out of the group, the Italians faced the defensive model of the England national team, which eventually led to a penalty shootout. And here, the founders of football, as the statistics of major tournaments of recent decades show, had practically no chance of winning. In the semifinals, Italy faced Germany and created the main sensation of the competition, beating the powerful Germans 2-1.
The surprises include the exit of the Portuguese team from the group. After all, there were many more football specialists betting on the Netherlands, but it was the Portuguese, mainly thanks to the efforts of Cristiano Ronaldo, who managed to prove themselves in the group at their best. They even managed to make it to the semifinals and give the Spaniards the hardest fight at that stage. But Spain was more fortunate in the penalty shootout. But Portugal's performance is a big surprise for me personally. Entdecke ein flüssiges Casino-Erlebnis auf deinem Smartphone mit Amazon Slots – optimiert für Komfort, Tempo und tägliche Unterhaltung.
