The European Championship 2008, or as we lazy people say it, Europ 2008, starts today at Switzerland, the co-hosts who face Czech Republic. Meanwhile, Portugal face Turkey.

The Czechs won the match, 1-0, thanks to Sverkos' 70th minute goal. A well-deserved win for the Czechs, as they dominated the match. Shame for Alexander Frei, who's match and perhaps Euro 2008 campaign came to a end before half-time.

Man of the Match: Phillippe Senderos (Switzerland): Depsite losing, Senderos played great at the back of the field that might have saved Switzerland an embarrassing result at home.

Portugal and Turkey: Cristiano Ronaldo had a good chance to score with that free kick, but Volka's fingertip made the ball touch the post. Pepe's goal was dissallowed for an offside, which it was. Turkey had some chances, Nihat's last kick before half time was their best chance of the game. In the 2nd half, Pepe was playing offense and got the ball from Nuno Gomes and flips it over Volka with ease. Raul Mereiles scored his first international goal after Jorge Moutinho gave him the ball with a open net. Nuno Gomes hitted the woodwork twice, and it's a shame that he didn't score, Ronaldo, Nihat, Tuncay and Sabri also had opportunies in an entertaining match. 2-0 for Portugal, as they lead the group tied with the Czechs, Switzerland are 3rd and Turkey are last.

Man of the Match: Pepe (Portugal): Outstanding performance for the Madrid defender, scoring a goal, a goal that was dissallowed and denied a few of Turkey's chances.

Formula One: The Circuit of Gilles Villenuve at Montreal just had the qualifying results, most of them are shocking, most of them are expected and most of them are normal.

Lewis Hamilton got pole, when he robbed it away from Robert Kubica at the closing stages. Kimi starts 3rd, followed by Fernando, Nico, Felipe, Heikki, Nick, Rubens and Mark for the top 10. 11th was Timo, Kazuki, David, Jarno and Nelson Junior ffor 11th to 15th. The rest was followed suit by Bourdais, Adrian, Giancarlo, Jenson and Vettel.
