Retro Euro 2008 views and opinions


To help get people in the Euro mood (not something that can be said with regard to the single currency recently) check out the links inside to some archived Euro 2008 news and reviews. Enjoy!




Spain go into every major footballing tournament with the weight of expectation on their shoulders, but as the cliché goes, always choke on the biggest stage. Can 2008 finally be the year that the Spanish are able to step up and vanquish the ghosts of failure from their past?


Croatia's opening match struggles against Austria have prompted many to argue that the talent on show at Euro 2008 would fail to win a place in an England first team squad. Why can’t we move on however and just enjoy the football?


Tonight could see the elimination of both the last World Cup finalists, as France and Italy once again prepare to do battle at Euro 2008. For both sides this has looked like a tournament too far, but for the French in particular this truly appears the end of the line for a golden generation


Following an enthralling victory in their quarter final against the Dutch, Russia is on the brink of what would be an extraordinary and memorable success at Euro 2008. But is this just the first act in a new Russian Revolution and dominance over the footballing world?


Spain's triumph at Euro 2008 means they can finally lose the tag of 'international chokers'. Theirs is also a triumph for stylish and attacking football that will hopefully make everyone sit up and take note PLUS! Team of the Tournament...
