The first matches of 2012s UEFA Europe football league are behind us. This year’s tournament has been much anticipated since many teams are exceptionally strong and competition is bound to be fierce and thrilling.

The first day already presented an interesting match with Russia being surprisingly strong and winning 4-1 against the Czech Republic.  The second surprise happened in the following match on the next day when Holland lost 0-1 to the confident team of Denmark. The much anticipated match between Germany and Portugal ended in 1-0 victory for Germany. The game was rather heated and fast and the resulted was heavily influenced by luck since Portugal presented were an equal opponent to one of this year’s favorites teams. The match between Spain and Italy was the next highlight. Again two almost equally strong (though rather different in playing style) teams faced off against each other and the result was a great viewing experience and an end result of 1-1.   The start off of the season has been great with almost every day offering surprise and top-matches.

More world-class matches are to come though, starting with today’s face-off between France and England and Wednesdays match between Germany and Holland!
