Champagne Moments of Euro 2008 part two

comment on the article

When we decided to introduce Champagne Moments to our Euro 2008 coverage, we never thought the tournament would rise to the challenge in such magnificent fashion. Austria and Switzerland hosted a feast of adventurous attacking, calamitous defending, dazzling team goals and, above all, unbelievable drama.

If you're already missing Euro 2008 - as we are - you can relive the Champagne Moments of the knock-out rounds here:

And in case you missed it first time round, here's the round-up of the best of the group stages:

But how did Euro 2008 treat you? Any moments we missed? And what on earth are we going to do now it's finished?

for me, Turkey were outstanding. I also enjoyed Ballacks Free Kick, and also the Germany v Portugal game. And the Croatia vs Turkey game, two goals in the last 2 ET mins, amazing. Surprises for me we Holland when they went out to Russia, and also how rubbish both France & Italy were

Still RVNs magic touch to unleash Robben, on the way to Van Persie's goal vs France.

Cesc's subtle chip to Guiza for Spain's 2nd vs Russia.

Two that immediately spring to mind.

Flair on its own is largely pointless, but flair put to purpose raises football to a higher level.

Does the Spanish victory have anything to do with Nostradamus?

What about Nihat's last minute goal? I know you don't want just clips of Turkey, but how can you leave that one out? Is the problem that it was on the 'other channel'?

For me, one has to be Holland vs France when france get a goal back courtesy of Theirry Henry for Arjen Robben to go down the field and score one of the goals of the tournement, from a tight angle where no one expected him to score to seal the game in favour of the dutch.

Champagne moment was Netherlands beating Italy 3-0 in a game that produced one of the top 3 goals of the tournament(the volley), and secondly
Germany beating Turkey, especially after been down a goal.

Pepe's header in the group stage was simple but accurate, thats how to take a header.
