Meh, I can only watch weekend matches as during weekdays I'm working 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (in our local time matches are 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.).
I did watch sunday's matches and enjoyed seeing Germany win, however they didn't quite convince me. I think it is because Ukraine didn't really challenge them enough to unleash their full power; they did struggle a lot though and Schweinsteiger came in to save their asses on last minute, it could easily have ended 1-1. Neither Croatia, Poland nor Switzerland surprised me either as they were the "stronger" teams. They are "average", but have a couple of remarkable players on their squads that give them advantages over other small teams. Surprises are all welcome though, as they make the tournament more interesting. The term "small" team is progressively becoming less applicable.
Same is happening here with the Copa America being played in parallel (June 3rd to 26th), Brazil got kicked out last night by Peru on the group stage, and that goal was clearly scored with the forward's hand, lmao. I will keep track of Euro's matches through this thread and watch matches when I have the time.
Cheers to everyone!
