Knockout stage of Euro 08 campaign has yet to arrive but the footballing actions we have seen are exhilarating enough. In Group A, Portugal are safely through despite a 2-0 loss to Switzerland.
The favorites stamped their class with authoritative performances and are rightfully leading the pack, except for two letdowns. France were held to a lackluster draw by Romania.
With Euro 2008 qualification at stake, Italy showed the rest of European football why they were the reigning world champions. Right at the death, they snatched a 2-1 victory from Scotland, thanks to a header from Christian Panucci.
Match results pale in comparison to what happened in Italy the last couple of days. To be frank, I did not raise an eyebrow, knowing what to expect from the Italians when it comes to soccer.
