So it's a fondue farewell to EURO 2008
They think it's all over, and it is now.
Wow, what a tournament, 31 matches with only two or three duds and with several genuine classics
and plenty of high drama, especially in the knock-out phase where tournament football usually gets
too nervy and cagey to be truly entertaining.
With Torres's winner in the final it meant that 77 goals were scored, exactly the same as at EURO
2004, but the manner of many of the goals has meant that it's been an entirely different tournament
from last time with fantastic quick counter-attacking and passing moves replacing the reliance on
set pieces that saw Greece crowned as champs last time out.
