The One With The Last Four
Last night game between Denmark and Czech Republic to decide the last team to clinch the final spot into semis.. Denmark won Euro Cup in their miraculous performance in 1992 while Czech won it while they still with Slovac as Czechoslovakia in 1976...
If I would say which the best team to win Euro 2004 based on current performance, I would say Czech Republic.. they are very much settle, 2 great finisher upfront, creative midfielders, good at the defence, and a tall standing keeper at the back.. they showed it well with a 3-0 victory against the Danes.. (I only watched the 2nd half though, so mind me.. ) I learned that Denmark held the ball possession in first half.. however, 4 minutes after the 2nd half kickoff, Czech sent Nedved in attack and won a corner. Poborsky swung the ball and 6ft 8in Koller powerfully headed it in... [Strike One!] 15 minutes later, Poborsky again passed a through ball from the right edge of penalty box, Baroš cleverly chipped it pass Sørensen.. [Strike Two!].. Czech fans just easing down from the goal celebration before Nedved sent another through ball towards Baroš and the latter smacked an unstoppable drive into the back of the net.. [Strike Three and the Danes are out!] Final result ;
Czech Republic 3 - (Koller 49', Baroš 63', 65')
Denmark 0
(MoM : Baroš)
Semi-finals matches :
Portugal vs Netherlands
Greece vs Czech Republic
