Euro Round-up: Ronaldo stuns Oranje
Published in FilGoal on 18 - 06 - 2012


Player of the day: Rampant CR7
Cristiano Ronaldo was lambasted for missing a couple of glaring chances against Denmark, but the Real Madrid ace made amends with a brilliant double to down Holland.
Goal of the day: Van der Vaart
In his first start - and eventually last - of the tournament, Holland skipper Rafael van der Vaart scored a terrific goal that suggested that maybe he should have been more involved in recent matches.
Moment of the day: The post says no to the first hat-trick
Ronaldo hit seven hat-tricks for Real Madrid last season and almost netted the first treble of the Euros, only to be denied by the post.
Save of the day: Stekelenburg vs. Nani
Luis Nani must have been sure he had scored for Portugal, only for Maarten Stekelenburg to make a superb save to deny the Manchester United winger.
Miss of the day: Muller
A horror miss from three yards out by Germany forward Thomas Muller; the 2010 World Cup top scorer.
Manager decision: Bender in
Germany coach Joachim Loew made the right choice picking Lars Bender for the suspended Jerome Boateng as the former didn't disappoint by scoring the winner.
Quote of the day: Basically the same team
“It's basically the same team [as reached the 2010 FIFA World Cup final] except for a few positions. We did try to make the team faster and younger and also to make it better in terms of strength in depth. “Holland coach Bert van Marwijk's attempt to make the team faster and younger seems successful.
