Euro 2008 began with a great opening game between Switzerland and the Czech Republic and for me it's been a very good tournament so far. I've seen 5 of the opening 6 games and it will be 6 1/2 out of 8 by tonight. I'm not going to comment much on Italy's game, but the Dutch really took it to them and deserved their win. I personally interpreted the first goal as offside, but the referees have been 'proved' to be right, so there's not much anyone can do about that.
The other two goals were lovely bits of team play. Dirk Kuyt did what he does best, working hard for the team, while those around him played their socks off.
I'm really looking forward to the Spain result tonight, I say result because I won't see much of the game, but I am hoping Torres starts where he left off at the end of the season. God knows my fantasy football team needs it
The Spain game was extremely enjoyable from what I saw and I hope their final group game is as good because it might the only one I see in full during the group stages.
