Enjoy the video clip of 5 great goals of Euro2008.
No Extra time,
No Penalty shoot out.
Only took 90 mins + injury time to lift the winning trophy. And the winner was none other than Spain, the unbeaten team in all through the tournament. Yes spain beat Germany by 1-0 in the Euro 2008 final.

The final GOALLLLLLLLLLLL
A beautiful buildup and a fine goal. Xavi forwarded a superb vertical pass To Torres. And Torres beats Lahm (Goalkeeper) and the defense and push the ball into the empty net.
Highest Scorer
The highest goal scorer was David Villa for Spain. He scored 4 goals including a hat-trick against Russia in Euro2008.
Its really surprising to see the team like Turkey, Russia in the semi-finals. No doubt they worked hard to reach at this level. But I was expecting some other teams in the semi-finals. I guess you guys too. But those 2 countries shown their best and proved that “hard works pays”. A big thumbs-up for those 2 teams and my best wishes.
Heres the result of Euro 2008 Quarter Finals:

Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, nicknamed “The Black Panther”, or “The Black Pearl”, is popularly known as Eusébio. He was born on 25th January, 1942 in Lourenço Marques (now its known as Maputo), Portuguese East Africa (Mozambique).
In 1961, Eusébio joined Benfica when he was just 19 years old. He played for Benfica for almost 15 years. And he is the club’s all time top scorer. In 1962 Benfica defeated Real Madrid CF (5-3) in European Cup’s Final. In that final Eusébio scored 2 superb goals. Not only that, in 1963, 1965 and 1968 Benfica finished as the runners-up.
In the year 1965, he was honored with the European Footballer of the Year award. He was the seven times Portuguese First Division’s top scorer (from 1964 to 1973). This is not all, there are many more achievement like,
1) 9th best footballer of the 20th century - A poll was conduted by IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics) and Eusébio was elected.
2) Golden Boot Award - In 1968 he received the Golden Boot Award as Europe’s leading scorer.
3) Golden Player of Portugal - On November 2003 in UEFA’s Jubilee celebration, he was selected as Golden Player of Portugal by the Portuguese Football Federation as their most outstanding player of the past 50 years.
Its true that a team is not complete without 11 players but Eusébio’s outstading performance not only helped Benfica to gain 11 league championships (1961, 1963-65, 1967-69, 1971-73, 1975) but also won 5 cups (1962, 1964, 1969, 1970, 1972).

In the year 1969, Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) presented a special gold medal for former Brazilian soccerstar Pele, who was the 1st and foremost player to reach 1000 goals in his career. And today history repeats again, Romario, 41 year-old, reached the 1,000 goals-mark in his soccer career. And the CBF awarded exactly the same medal to him. “The Federation is honoured to be able to pay homage to a player of such importance as Romario, a player of vital importance in the history of Brazilian football” said CBF President Teixeira. Alongwith the medal, Romario also received a special jersey with the number 1,000 stamped on the back.
