euro 2004 tourney fixtures and results
- Thread starter t1000v2.0
- Start date
Group D Result:
Czech Republic 2 - Bolf 56, Smicer 65
Latvia 2 - Pahars 37, 42
The surprise package of the tournament got off to a flying start as minnows, Latvia took a surprise 2 goal lead at half time against the Czech Republic. The Latvian stand-in player manager decided to pack the midfield and hoped to catch the Czechs on the counter attack. It was Latvia who took the initiative and bossed the midfield for the entore first half, the Czechs were no where, neither Nedved Poborsjy or Rocsiky who get hold of the ball. That was more testment to how well the Latvians were playing, rather than the Czechs playing badly. The first goal game on the 37th minute, and what a beautiful goal it was and another cadidate for goal of the tournament, a delightful ball from Blagonadezd, fully 50 yards out hung up in the air and dropped in the box, which Pahars ran on to, and hit a sublime shot, just passed it into the net on the half volley. It was just the sheer timing, patience and execution that made this goal special, and the pass was nothing short of Steven Gerrard or David Beckham standard. The goal, spurred on the Czechs to go at the Latvians, but that left them open at the back, and when Pahars chased on to a pass, he had a clear run on goal. There was still work to do, but he outpaced the defender, kept his nerve and slotted home past the keeper, putting Latvia in a commanding position.
The second half saw the Czechs move up a gear and a header by defender, Bolf, made the score 1-2. The Czechs then capitalised on a lapse in concentration, and a lovely 3 man move ended with a great strike by Smicer.
It was however, Latvia who looked the most likely to score a third, and what could only be described as a blatant foul on Pahars in the box was not given, but without any doubt a penalty should have been awarded. Bolf swept the legs of Pahars as he swung to shoot, but how the penalty was not given is outrageous, and clearly the referee got it wrong, yet again in this tournament. Right the at end deep in stoppage time, Latvia could have won the match, with a terrific bicycle kick from Rubins, which smashed the crossbar, with keeper well beaten. 2-2 it remained, and Latvia, would have felt they should have won the match. But on this showing, they should be proud of putting in a great performance, with the other two teams in the group also played out a 2-2, this group is still wide open.

Euro2004- Group D -Germany V Netherlands, Porto
Apologies for the later than billed second group D match. There was a power failure in the ground which took a few hours to resolve, it's a good thing this isn't being played at the stadium of light! but we should rush over now to Porto, where the game will soon be underway.

The clash of the old rivals took place today which turned out to be a tense affair through out the match. Coach Nifty abandoned the lone striker system in place of a 3-5-2 formation with 2 out and out forwards, who both got on the scoresheet. The Germans also played a variation of 3-5-2, as they went out to match the dutch man for man. The Dutch got off to a slow start and couldnt quite find a rhythm, hitting a few hopeful balls and not getting their passing game going. The Dutch lack of rhythm and concentration was exploited to full effect as Schnider ran in from deep, twisted the defense and unleashed a good shot which beat Van der sar. This stunned the Dutch into action and it didnt take long for them to find an equliser. A Van Nistlerooy run and shot hit the keeper and fell kindly on the head of Makaay who was in the right place at the right time. A bit of a fortunate goal, but the dutch had no complaints. Credit to the dutch though, as they played their way back into the game with their passing and attacking attitude increasing as thr match went on. A few more efforts by The Dutch, most notably from wonderkid Van Der Vaart with a dipping 25 yard shot before half time. The Half ended well for The Netherlands, with the Germans becoming a bit edgy, but alot of that was down to their improvement of play, denying the Germans the ball.
The second half started much the same way as the first did, with the Dutch falling asleep again, losing thier way and the Germans punished them dearly. Goal scorer Schneider, crossed the ball which was not cleared well by Stam, and Dietmar Hamann pounced to head the ball home, again, sloppy play in defence from the Dutch, now staring down the barrel of defeat. But an inpired subsitution from coach, Nifty changed the complexion of the game. He brought on Zenden for Van der vaart, and switched Overmars to the right, Zeden took up position on the left wing, and Seedorf moved to just behind the forwards. The dutch then began to play better with more of a natural balance on both flanks. Time was still running out for the dutch though, and with all their attacking play, were still searching for the equiliser. Germany were still dangerous on the counter attack and a good move down the middle which found Ziege in space, who hit a stinging shot from 25 yards went just wide. A let off for the Dutch, which surely would have been the killer. With time running out the Dutch needing that second goal pushed everyone forward in a last gasp frenzy, and in the 88th minute, they found their get out of jail card, which came in the form of the move of the match. Overmars found himself in space on the right but with his back to goal, had to improvise and he produced a stunning backheal pass into the path of Makaay, who swivvled and crossed with Van Nistlerooy arriving in the box to head home from 6 yards out and grabbing a precious point for the dutch. So both strikers linked up well then, as both Nistlerooy and Makaay made goals for each other and scored one a piece.
I am sure now, that the Dutch need to put all the in-fighting aside and now concentrate on their next match. This was a hard fought draw with Germany feeling that should have won this, but the Netherlands played well in patches, but need to tighten up at the back. So a Jackle and Hyde performance from the Dutch Maestros, and a good display from the Germans, as the clash of the old rivals ended Germany 2, The Netherlands 2.
Germany: (3-5-2) Kahn, kehl, Nowotny, Worns, Jeremies, Ziege, Schneider, Ballack, Hamann, Kuranyi, Klose
Netherlands: (3-5-2) Van Der Sar, Stam, F. De Boer, Heitinga, Cocu, Davids, Overmars, Seedorf, Van Der Vaart, Van Nistlerooy, Makaay

Well, we kept the Germany strikeforce quiet - but clearly Davids and Cocu didn't do their job as well as Stam did his.
Glad to see the strikers getting a goal a-piece, with Kluivert not featuring.
Once again, created more attempts on goal than my opposition without managing to win the game. Still, can't really tell anything of the game (who deserved to win etc.) until the report and highlights.
Just as a side-note, I'm keeping an archive of all the highlights t1000 is providing us with, in order to at a later date judge goal of the tournament and some-such.
