Euro 2008 - Euro Power Rankings

Spain and Germany will contest the final of Euro 2008, but which side goes into the game on top of our Euro Power Rankings?

(Previous ranking in brackets)

1. Spain (3)

Spain really turned on the style in their semi-final victory over Russia, and will go into the final backed by neutrals everywhere. Their slick passing football is a joy to watch, but their unquestionably talented players will have to hold their nerve if they are to secure only a second major championship in their history.

2. Germany (1)

Joachim Loew’s men were second best for the vast majority of their semi-final against Turkey, but managed to stumble into the final thanks to Philipp Lahm’s late strike. They have yet to really convince in this tournament, but the fact that they are in the final is testament to their extraordinary resilience.

3. Turkey (4)

The quality of their performance against Germany, with a squad of just 14, proved that they were more than worthy of a place in the last four, after critics had suggested that their run to the semi-finals owed more to luck than anything else. Turkey’s contribution to the tournament will live long in the memory.

4. Russia (2)

Guus Hiddink’s side thrilled in the 3-1 quarter-final victory over the Netherlands but were distinctly average in the semi-final defeat to Spain. Players like Andrei Arshavin and flying full-back Yuri Zhirkov really caught the eye, but after all the excitement the fact remains that they really impressed in only two matches.

5. Netherlands (5)

Good lord, how did we not see this one coming? Marco van Basten’s men went from majestic to mediocre as Russia ran them ragged. 150,000 orange-clad fans in Basel saw yet another major championship end in heartache, although at least they didn’t lose on penalties this time.

6. Croatia (6)

Slaven Bilic’s men won over neutrals everywhere with their incisive passing style, but having been a minute away from the last four they lost their nerve completely when their quarter-final with Turkey went to penalties. England fans will surely sympathise.

7. Portugal (7)

Terrible defensive errors cost them dearly against a far from vintage Germany side, while the anonymous performance of Cristiano Ronaldo suggested that he might just have to wait for that Ballon d’Or.

8. Italy (8)

Did what they do best for 120 minutes against Spain before allowing a team with an awful record at penalty shootouts to beat them. A run to the quarter-finals is hardly a disgraceful performance (unlike that of, say, France) but the style of football employed by Roberto Donadoni has won the Azzurri few friends.

9. Czech Republic (9)

Took part in the best game of Euro 2004, beating the Netherlands 3-2. Their 3-2 defeat to Turkey will take some beating this time around, but the Czechs are on their way home after a dramatic collapse in Geneva.

10. Romania (10)

Sorry to say it, but Romania blew it when they had the Group of Death at their mercy. Adrian Mutu’s penalty miss against Italy turned out to prove decisive as they failed to cut it against a Dutch reserve side.

11. Switzerland (11)

Performed admirably in their 2-0 win over an admittedly weakened Portugal side, and finally had the luck that deserted them in their first two games. At least co-hosts Austria have followed them out.

12. Sweden (12)

Ancient, plodding and completely outplayed. The Swedes were never at the races against Russia and were deservedly sent packing. The oldest squad at Euro 2008 looked devoid of ideas with Zlatan Ibrahimovic below full fitness.

13. Greece (13)

Ensured they at least found the net before heading home, but three straight defeats add up to a dismal title defence by anyone’s standards. Otto Rehhagel may now choose to bow out with his head held high.

14. Austria (14)

Plucky, and they gave Germany a run for their money for 45 minutes. Although they weren’t as bad as the pre-tournament petition suggested, no goals from open play is a telling story.

15. Poland (15)

A late penalty awarded by Howard Webb led to two dropped points against Austria and the defeat against Croatia completed a damp squib of a tournament for the Poles. Ebi Smolarek, Jacek Krzynowek and Mariusz Lewandowski didn’t turn up.

16. France (16)

No team played worse at Euro 2008 than Les Bleus, who were dull against Romania, overwhelmed by the Dutch and completely self-destructed in their biggest match since the 2006 World Cup final. Madame Guillotine is already hurtling towards Raymond Domenech’s head.

Euro 2008 - Best of Euro 2008

With only one game of Euro 2008 remaining, Eurosport takes a look at the games, goals, gaffes and girls that have caught the eye.

Player of the tournament - To be decided

At this stage of proceedings, no player has yet grabbed the competition by the scruff of its neck and bent it to his will.

Wesley Sneijder was the undisputed star of the group stage, conducting the Netherlands to sensational victories over Italy and France, while Andrei Arshavin sparkled brilliantly before fading completely in Russia’s semi-final defeat to Spain.

The tournament’s top strikers - David Villa, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Lukas Podolski - have impressed only fleetingly, while Spain’s super substitute Cesc Fabregas is yet to start a meaningful game.

Michael Ballack has led the German charge to the final, ably assisted by goalscoring winger Bastian Schweinsteiger, but any one of about six or seven players could land the player of the tournament gong with a match-winning performance in the final.

Goal of the tournament - Wesley Sneijder v Italy

There has been a dearth of quality long-range goals in the tournament, with players struggling to get to grips with a ball that’s displayed the flyaway qualities of one of those 50p balls you find in motorway service stations.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s thunderbolt against Greece, Ballack’s net-busting free-kick against Austria and Sneijder’s stunning coup de grace for the Netherlands in the 4-1 trouncing of France are the obvious exceptions, but there have also been some sublime team goals.

Arshavin’s goal in Russia’s 2-0 win over Sweden was a fine thing to behold, but it’s the Dutch who mastered the art of the counter-attack most effortlessly, and Sneijder’s beautifully struck half-volley after a flowing team move in the 3-0 win over Italy was the best of the lot.

Miss of the tournament - Mario Gomez v Austria

19:49 BST, Monday 16 June, Ernst Happel Stadium, Vienna. Germany are playing Austria and need a win to progress to the next round.

With just four minutes on the clock, out-of-form striker Mario Gomez is presented with an open goal by team-mate Miroslav Klose, but from barely four yards out and with the goal at his mercy he spoons the ball into the air and Austrian defender Gyorgy Garics is able to head it off the line.

Hakan Yakin was guilty of a similarly glaring miss in Switzerland’s 2-1 defeat to Turkey, but for the glimpse into a very private hell that Gomez’s miss provided, the Stuttgart striker gets the nod.

Game of the tournament - Turkey 3-2 Czech Republic

There have been some tremendous games in the tournament, with the Netherlands’ thumping victories over Italy and France catching the eye before they were eliminated in stunning fashion at the quarter-final stage by Russia.

Germany edged a thrilling quarter-final against Portugal 3-2 thanks to some appallingly slack defending from Luis Felipe Scolari’s men, but for pure edge-of-the-seat excitement, it has to be Turkey’s incredible comeback victory over the Czech Republic in Group A.

Needing to win to go through, Turkey trailed 2-0 with just 15 minutes to play, but after Arda Turan had halved the deficit Nihat Kahveci took advantage of a howler from Petr Cech to level before curling a superb injury-time winner in off the crossbar to send the Turks into the last eight.

Save of the tournament - Gianluigi Buffon v Romania

With nine minutes remaining of the Group C match between Italy and Romania, Christian Panucci conceded a penalty that could have knocked the world champions out of the tournament.

Romania captain Adrian Mutu stepped up and drilled the ball firmly down the centre of the goal but, despite having already dived down to his left, Italy keeper Gianluigi Buffon shot out his right hand to claw the ball away and keep his side in the competition.

Gaffe of the tournament - Petr Cech v Turkey

Turkey goalkeeper Rustu Recber produced a horrendous flap which enabled Klose to head Germany into a 2-1 lead in the semi-final between the sides, but Cech’s error against the Turks - when he let a high right-wing cross squirm out of his grasp and into the path of Nihat - was probably the worst of the tournament, even more so because it was so completely out of character.

Coach of the tournament - Fetih Terim, Turkey

Dutchmen Marco van Basten and Guus Hiddink oversaw some fine performances from the Netherlands and Russia, but both sides choked when it mattered most.

Croatia coach Slaven Bilic had his side playing some similarly eye-catching stuff, and somehow managed to ally breathless touchline enthusiasm with effortless cool, but for taking a decidedly unfancied Turkey side to the brink of the final - whilst all the while throwing his arms around like an epileptic orangutang - Fatih Terim is our top boss.

Biggest disappointment - France

How a squad containing the attacking talents of Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Karim Benzema and Nicolas Anelka could exit the tournament with just a single goal to their name is something of a mystery, but in the end they were undone by too many ageing legs and a collective loss of form.

Insipid against Romania, they were then trounced by the Dutch and didn’t even look like scoring in the 2-0 defeat to Italy.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining, and in Ribery, Benzema, Samir Nasri and Hatem Ben Arfa - not to mention the likely departure of coach Raymond Domenech - there is hope for the future.

Worst match - France v Romania

Sweden’s 2-0 win over Greece in Group D was an absolute stinker, but it did at least boast some goals.

France’s goalless draw with Romania, on the other hand, had no redeeming features whatsoever, with the sides registering just one shot on target between them in the whole game, and that a side-footed pea-roller from Benzema that might not have made it into the net even if Romanian goalkeeper Bogdan Lobont hadn’t been there to get in the way.

Best WAG - Sarah Brandner

A difficult category to judge, seeing as none of the WAGs have actually done anything, but a top three of Noemie Lenoir (Claude Makelele), Sarah Brandner (Bastian Schweinsteiger) and Sylvie Meis (Rafael van der Vaart) provides plenty of food for thought.

Lenoir and Meis both score highly in the glamour stakes, but for sheer commitment (she turned up to every Germany match, quaffed pints of lager and she’s dating a footballer who looks like a pimply adolescent), it has to be Fraulein Brandner (pictured).

Best fans - Netherlands

It’s a massive cliche, but once again the Dutch fans illuminated the tournament with their crazy orange-clad antics and unstinting commitment to wacky fancy-dress.

So impressed was the mayor of Berne with the behaviour of the Oranje fans during their group-stage sojourn in the city that he presented the squad with turf from the Stade de Suisse Wankdorf where they had played.

As useless gifts go it’s right up there with ornamental animals, but at least they made an impression.

Italy´s Donadoni rules out quitting

BADEN, Austria (AFP) - Defiant Italy boss Roberto Donadoni ruled out quitting the national team despite his country’s insipid Euro 2008 exit on penalties to Spain.

The world champions’ rollercoaster tournament ended at the quarter-final stage but 44-year-old Donadoni has come under fire for the team’s negative tactics and far from inspirational play.

They were thrashed 3-0 by the Netherlands in their opening game before being held to a 1-1 draw by Romania - although only a late penalty save by Gianluigi Buffon earned them that result.

Italy qualified for the last eight by beating France 2-0 but their opponents had to play three quarters of the game with 10 men after Eric Abidal’s sending off.

Without playmaker Andrea Pirlo, who was suspended against Spain, and captain Fabio Cannavaro - the heart of the team - Italy were bereft of creativity and fight, surrendering meekly after a turgid 120 minutes of football and some poor penalties in the shoot-out.

The press speculated on Monday morning that Donadoni will be shown the door but when asked if he will jump first, he was adamant.

"Resign? The thought would never even enter the antechamber of my brain," said Donadoni.

"It’s not because of a missed penalty that I’m going to change my opinion of our European Championships, that would be stupid."

Despite his conviction that he won’t quit, Donadoni’s time looks numbered with many newspapers speculating that World Cup winning boss Marcelo Lippi is set to make a comeback.

And after the Spain defeat, Italian Federation (FIGC) president Giancarlo Abete refused to publicly back his coach.

"It’s positive in terms of the quality of the group of players and I’m pleased with the great bond created in the group but we are aware that our overall capacity and skills have certainly not reached the level that we expected," he said.

And when pressed on what Abete had told him personally, Donadoni was not particularly forthcoming with revealing information.

"Just one hour ago at breakfast I spoke with president Abete. I simply told him I was happy to have experienced these two years," he said.

Donadoni took over the post after Lippi resigned following Italy’s 2006 World Cup victory in Germany.

Donadoni was given only a two-year contract leading to much speculation even before this tournament began that unless the team went far he would not be offered a new deal.

He turned down a conditional offer, based on reaching at least the semi-finals, but eventually signed a new two-year deal just days before the tournament began.

However, a contract in Italy is no guarantee of remaining in employment and when asked if he thought he deserved to remain in the job, Donadoni preferred not to proffer a reply.

"With respect to those who should decide I’m not going to try to sway them. My record speaks for itself, I’m not going to try to talk it up."

Donadoni admitted that he could do nothing about the speculation or even the clamour for the return of the popular Lippi.

"Seriously you’ve been writing about his return for two weeks," he told journalists at a press conference in Italy’s base near Vienna.

"Hence since I arrived here I decided not to read the comments, neither the positive nor the negative ones."

Cesc Fabregas - ESP: GOAL (4-2)! He sends Buffon the wrong way and Spain are through to the semi-finals!

Antonio Di Natale - ITA: SAVE! Almost identical to the shot by Güiza, and Casillas is there to stop it. Goal for Spain wins it.

Daniel Güiza - ESP: SAVE! The youngster hits it low to his right, but Buffon is there.

Mauro Camoranesi - ITA: GOAL (3-2)

Marcos Senna - ESP: GOAL (3-1)

Daniele De Rossi - ITA: SAVE! He goes right and Casillas is down low to knock it away. Nice job by the keeper.

Santi Cazorla - ESP: GOAL (2-1)

Fabio Grosso - ITAL: GOAL (1-1)

David Villa - ESP: GOAL (1-0)

Spain to go first.

ET FULL-TIME: Nothing in extra time. Let’s go to the spot to decide it. Buffon saved a penalty against Romania, and it proved to be the moment that helped them into the quarter-finals. Should get underway in a few minutes. Keep it right here for more updates.

Minute 120: Best chance of the period. Cazorla takes a shot at the far post from the left side of hte area. He never saw Villa at the backpost. And there goes the whistle.

Minute 118: Long-range effort again, this time for Spain and Güiza and it too is nowhere near the target.

Minute 118: Speculative effort from 35 yards by Di Natale never gets off the ground. Goal kick for Spain.

Minute 117: Silva slides it forward into space, but no one was near it and Buffon gathers.

Minute 115: Güiza tries to squeeze his way through the area, but once again the Italian defense is there to thwart his run.

Minute 114: Di Natale decides to go down after a seemingly harmless clash, and play is stopped. It’s happened numerous times tonight, and the governing bodies should come up with a uniform policy to handle how to decide when to stop play. It’s badly affected the flow of the match.

Minute 113: Cazorla goes into the book for dissent after thinking he had won a corner.

Minute 111: Villa is played throw into the area by Silva, but he touches just too far in front of him, and Buffon is able to play it for a corner. The set piece comes onto the head of Ramos, but it’s wide.

Minute 108: Aquilani is taken off in Italy’s final switch with veteran striker Alessandro Del Piero making an appearance. This could be a switch looking toward the penalty shootout that is looming.

Minute 108: The left-footed effort of Grosso goes begging, and the flag was up in any event for offside.

Minute 107: Here comes a potentially good chance for Italy. Ramos with a dangerous tackle on Camoranesi on the edge of the left side of the area.

Minute 106: Fandel blows the whistle to start it back up.

HALF-TIME: They’ll switch ends and do it again. If it’s still nodded after 15 more minutes, it’s to penalties we’ll go.

Minute 105: Free kick for Fabregas on the right touchline is cleared. Whistle blows for half-time.

Minute 104: Güiza fires with Chiellini right in front of him, but all he can do is drag it wide. Chiellini did well to give him a small target to shoot out.

Minute 102: Senna is down after he caught Camoranesi coming through on a challenge. He’s receiving treatment. Remember, Spain have made all three changes and would have to play with 10 men should someone go off injured. But Senna is now walking off and he should be back on fine in a bit.

Minute 99: The Italian defense cuts out a run by Fabregas nicely. As soon as a red shirt gets into the area, he’s surrounded by three or four white shirts.

Minute 96: The corner is put back in, and Spain clear it back out for another corner. The effort from the left side by De Rossi is headed over the top by Toni.

Minute 95: Grosso’s low cross in for Toni is pushed away nicely by Marchena. Shortly after, Di Natale heads a cross from the left that forces Casillas into a fingertip save. Corner to the Azzurri.

Minute 93: Wow. So close for Spain. Güiza nods it down Fabregas, whose shot is blocked, but it comes back to Silva who rifles one wide of the near post.

Minute 92: Early free kick for Spain from 25 yards away, right of center. Silva takes it with his left boot and it goes out with a lot of bodies going down in the center.

ET Kickoff: Underway for more action!

FULL-TIME: And for the third time in as many nights at Euro 2008, the quarter-finals are headed to extra time. 30 minutes more, and perhaps penalties after that. Stay tuned.

Minute 90+3: Cross in for Villa has to be cleared for a corner. Last gasp here for Spain and it’s cleared away.

Minute 90: Three minutes to be added on.

Minute 87: Villa’s cross finds the substitute Güiza in the area, but he inexplicably handles it.

Minute 85: Torres is replaced by Daniel Güiza. Last switch for Spain.

Minute 83: Di Natale’s flick into the box finds Toni, who attempts an outrageous overhead shot. He didn’t see Grosso coming in right behind him.

Minute 82: Cross by Zambrotta looks for Toni, but he can’t get up to get his head to it.

Minute 81: Buffon is fortunate, indeed. Shot by Senna is fumbled by the keeper and it rolls back onto the post. If the woodwork isn’t there, Buffon might be credited with a horrible mistake.

Minute 80: Senna hits a free kick on target and Buffon chooses to just knock it away.

Minute 78: Overhead flick by Sergio Ramos falls into the hands of Buffon right on the goal line. Easy take for the Italian keeper.

Minute 74: Second switch for Italy with Cassano being replaced by Antonio Di Natale.

Minute 72: Villa goes down in the area, and this time he’s booked for a dive.

Minute 70: Zambrotta puts in a cross for the head of Toni, who snuck in between two defenders, but it was a tough chance that goes begging.

Minute 70: On the corner, Fabregas’ outswinger goes for naught.

Minute 69: Spain have a free kick now from about 30 yards away in the dead center of the pitch, and Villa’s effort goes off the wall and over the goal for a corner.

Minute 67: Free kick from Camoranesi on the right goes clear over everyone and out for a goal kick.

Minute 65: Effort from distance by Alberto Aquilani skids wide of the goal.

Minute 61: Scramble in the six-yard box almost leads to the goal for Italy. Toni jumped to head a loose ball, but it fell to Camoranesi, whose shot is saved by the feet of a desperate Casillas.

Minute 60: At the same time, Xavi is withdrawn for Cesc Fabregas.

Minute 59: And now Spain make a switch with Iniesta’s night ending. Santi Cazorla is the man who takes his place.

Minute 59: Corner kick by Xavi is punched away by Buffon as far as Silva, whose drive is off the mark.

Minute 58: First substitution of the match is for Italy as Mauro Camoranesi replaces Perrotta.

Minute 55: Torres shrugs off the challenge of Panucci to win the ball near the byline, but his cross is blocked out. He could have taken a crack at goal. Corner to Spain, but nothing comes of it.

Minute 49: An attempted clearance by Christian Panucci is knocked down by Silva, but as he tried to play it onto his better foot, Giorgio Chiellini is there to stop the chance.

Minute 48: Iniesta has space to run into the area, but a poor touch plays the ball onto his hand and play is whistled dead.

Minute 46: Back underway with no changes made for either team.

HALF-TIME: Some half chances for both sides, but nothing in terms of goals, not all too surprising given the style of play for both of these sides. As previously mentioned, one goal could decide this one.

Minute 44: A one-two between Villa and Iniesta leads to a shot for the latter, but all he can do is put it wide.

Minute 42: Silva goes down outside the area, but Fandel says he dove. However, he fails to book him for diving. Fans on both sides not pleased with his decisions thus far.

Minute 40: A free kick and corner kick for Italy don’t create anything.

Minute 38: Much better buildup from Spain. Torres breaks through on the left and has a shot blocked in the area. It then comes back to Silva whose shot is just past the far post.

Minute 36: Best chance so far for Italy. Cassano crosses in from the left onto the head of Toni, but the striker’s goalbound header hits off the shoulder of Carlos Marchena, who frankly didn’t know much about it.

Minute 35: Iniesta with a thunderous drive from distance, but it rises high all the time.

Minute 33: Xavi fires a shot that is deflected out for a corner. It comes to nothing as a foul is whistled.

Minute 32: Silva takes a crack at goal from outside the area, but his shot is saved low by Buffon.

Minute 31: Ambrosini goes down in the book for a studs-up challenge on Senna.

Minute 30: We’ve reached the half-hour with only a couple of half chances to mark the game. It’s the style of game that one goal could decide.

Minute 24: De Rossi fells Villa 25 yards out to set up a Spanish free kick and Villa’s low drive is well saved by Buffon to his left.

Minute 22: Gianluca Zambrotta’s cross from the right falls in the area with no one there to get on the end. Ambrosini then plays it in from the left looking for Luca Toni, but it’s out of his reach.

Minute 19: First chance of the game comes to Italy as Ambrosini puts it into the box from the left, but Simone Perrotta’s header is straight down and into the hands of Casillas.

Minute 16: Torres goes down in the area under the challenge of Ambrosini, but it was clean.

Minute 11: And Fandel wastes no more time using his book for Andrés Iniesta’s challenge on Grosso.

Minute 10: Torres comes in from behind on Cassano and the Spanish striker gets a stern talking-to from Fandel, but no booking. He’s likely on a short least now.

Minute 9: Attempted cross by David Silva is deflected into the air for Gianluigi Buffon to take. Fernando Torres was lurking in the six-yard box.

Minute 7: Free kick for Italy from 32 yards on the left swung in by Daniele De Rossi, but it’s strong and into the arms of Iker Casillas.

Minute 5: Italy on the break with Fabio Grosso on the left, but striker David Villa tackles it away and out for throw-in to Spain. Nice play by the forward.

Minute 3: Antonio Cassano is hauled down on a challenge by Marcos Senna as the teams battle in midfield.

Kickoff: We’re underway in Vienna!

Pre-Match: Germany’s Herbert Fandel is the referee tonight, assisted by Carsten Kadach and Volker Wezel. The fourth official is Belgium’s Frank de Bleeckere.

Pre-Match: Anthems going now. Italy’s “Inno di Mameli” first, followed by “Marcha Real” for Spain.

Pre-Match: Spain are the last hope for group winners in this tournament with Portugal, Croatia and the Netherlands all bowing out. Luis Aragonés will use the same squad that beat Sweden in the second group game, undoing the 10 changes he made against Greece.

Pre-Match: Massimo Ambrosini and Alberto Aquilani replace Gattuso and Pirlo respectively, otherwise Roberto Donadoni makes no changes to the side that beat France.

Pre-match: Spain will want to change history today, having failed to beat the Italians in a competitive match in more than eighty years. But Italy in turn, will be decided to make up for a rather shaky group phase. They’ll have to do so without the suspended Gattuso and Pirlo.

Torres relishing Italian job

Spain striker Fernando Torres believes Italy will be favourites heading into their quarter-final clash on Sunday.

Despite Luis Aragones’ side breezing into the last eight having taken maximum points from their Group D outings, they remain wary of an Azzurri outfit who are yet to find their feet at Euro 2008.

Roberto Donadoni’s men were on the brink of elimination heading into their last outing against France, but a 2-0 victory, coupled with Holland’s win over Romania by the same scoreline, ensured that the world champions remain on course for an international double.

And having been paired with the Italians, Torres admits that they must be ready to give their all in Vienna this weekend.

Titles

“Spain is playing great and stylish football,” said the Liverpool striker.

“But Italy has kept faith with its style for years. Even if they are not that showy they are the favourites.

“But we are not afraid of them or their record.

“Italy are the current world champions and that’s not an accident. Titles do not just get won for no reason. You can maybe win once through a bit of luck but not as often as Italy have so you have to respect this team.

“Their history makes them favourites. They did not have a great opening phase but the same thing happened at the World Cup (in 2006) and they ended up winning it.”

Convinced

A David Villa goal handed Spain a 1-0 friendly victory over Italy in March, a result which Torres believes should ensure that the Spanish squad have no fear heading into their latest meeting.

“We beat them in a friendly but now we have the chance to show what we are made of in an official competition We are convinced we can beat them,” he said

“This coming match is very important for us and for the nation.

“It’s important for the history of the Spanish squad and we are well aware of our capabilities. We can beat anyone.”
