It's Tense And Exciting.

There was more football last night, this time the game was between Greece and Germany.

I found it rather difficult to watch as I still wanted Greece to pull off the impossible and win this game and go through to the final.

Of course not long after the game started I realised that this was maybe a bit too ambitious.

The Greek team were doing their utmost best against a German side who had more talent and skill than they did.

Even when the Germans went one up the Greeks were still battling to stay in the game, Giorgio Samaras put them back in to the game with his goal.

This made it one all, the German teams answer was to score another one, and the score line was now 2-1.

The Greek supporters will absolutely magnificent singing and cheering their team on all through the game even when they knew they were losing.

Still the brave Greek team kept trying for another goal; this ambition was diminished even further by a third goal for Germany, followed by another.

This meant that the German team had won the game with four goals and the Greek team had lost with one goal.

Mario Gomes scored three of the goals and Miroslav Klose scored 1 to give Germany a great score from which to go on to the semi-finals.

I think France will be playing Spain on Saturday and England will be playing against Italy on Sunday.

Once all the quarter-finals have been played we will know who is playing in the semi finals next week, it really is getting quite tense now and exciting.

Now It's The Quarter Finals.

Last night we watched the first of the quarter-final games; it is now the knockout stage of the competition.

The game was between Czech Republic and Portugal; in the first half both sides tried but failed to get a goal.

Ronaldo had many attempts on goal; they went everywhere apart from in between the goalposts.

In between firing in his goals, he also seemed to lose steam; both sides were trying all through the first half.

They went off at half time neither team managing to score that vital goal which would take them to the semi-final.

When they came back the Czech team seemed invigorated, as was Petr Cech their excellent goalkeeper, in his heyday he was the best in the world.

Petr Cech was part of the Czech Republics wonder team, who won the European football tournament in 1996.

The team had many excellent players, among them the brilliant Pavel Nedved who was also a star player for Juventus in Italy.

Although I wanted the Czech Republic to win, I was realistic enough to see that it might not happen because Portugal was just too good.

Ronaldo and the rest of the team kept up their barrage of attempts on goal; the Czech goalkeeper was doing brilliant keeping them all out.

The Czech team seemed to get a sudden boost, as they played with renewed vigour and had several attempts on goal.

The Portuguese players took control of the ball, Ronaldo sprinted to the Czech goal and scored.

Sadly the Czech team could not match this, and in the last few minutes Portugal got another goal which meant they had won the game by 2-0.

The next game is between Greece and Germany; it would be wonderful if Greece win the tournament for the second time since 2004.
