Euro

It has been the second Euro since my graduation from collegue. I finished my barchelor degree in the time when Austria and Switzerland co-hosted the Euro 2008. I remember that I not only prepared for the entrance examination for the master course but also enjoyed the thrilling matches of that tournament. The clash I cannnot forget was between Turkey and Czech. Although Czech with the oustanding Petr Cech led 2 - 0, they completed the match with the loss 2 - 3. As a result, they were eliminated from the quarter final. The second unforgettable memory of that tournamnet is the clown of Europe for Spain, the first time since 1964. This success has began a new chapter of the football history which makes Spain become one of the greatest teams. After gaining the 2008 Europe championship, Spain also obtained two more cup (20120 world cup and 2012 Euro) which is currently a record among the big teams.

The 2012 Euro took place in two nations, Ukraine and Poland. It was the first time the eastern part of the Old Continent hold this big socccer event. In spite the influce of the turndown of financial situation in Europe, there are lots of audience attending eight stadium to enjoy thirty-one matches of the tournament. The big surprise must be Italia when they reached the final match with Spain. Despite the biggest lost ever in all final matches, Italia proved that the spirit and statics of players were the key factors in footbal.
