Greece is no longer the powerful team and Sweden now is a serious candidate for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008 championship
Sweden 2 - Greece 03 points for the Swedish and Zero for the Greek
If the eyes of the Football world were not so delighted by the quality of football of the earlier game, we all would be astonished by the defeat of Greece by Sweden on their first game at the UEFA Euro Cup 2008. Not because Sweden is not a powerful team, but because Greece had shown great football on the qualifying matches to the Euro 2008.
This game proved that the football of German trainer Otto Rehhagel no longer works. The champions of the UEFA Euro 2004 Cup in Protugal, Greece, did not shine on their first game. More the opposite, Sweden showed that they are serious candidates for the Euro 2008 championship. Their next game against Spain will be a test for both, for the Spanish and for Sweden, to see if they can mantain a good level of football.
The first goal of Sweden in the Euro 2008 was wonderful, one of the best goals so far. And Larsson is proving himself as very useful in the Swedish team. The second goal of Sweden, after a great play by the Swedish, was a combination of mistakes, good luck and bad luck. But it was goal after all.
The next (great) game of the Swedish at the UEFA Euro Cup 2008 will be against Spain next saturday June the 14th at 18:00. And the next game of Greece will be against Russia at 20:45. A good opportunity for both teams to wake up and to score goals and points. Whichever team loses, is out of the Euro 2008.
Here is a video with the highlights of Greece against Sweden at the UEFA Euro 2008 Cup:
