Czech Mate

Literally, they have been doing this to their opponents since their first match in Euro. They have played attacking football and have been the only team to win all their matches and we have been told it's just a second string team. No way! They have provided a lesson to the teams like Italy, who didn't loose any match and Germany who didn't win any match and are out in the first round itself because of eschewing attacking game.

An interesting piece of comment was made during Dutch-Swede Penalty Shoot-Out. When a Swede missed their first penalty after kicking the ball over the top bar, Commentator said he "Beckhamed" it. That was a good one as Beckham seems to have trademarked it, missing last three penalties in similar fashion. It's been a big fall since his last trademark -"Bend it like Beckham".
