Talk about the timing of the Greek goal! The silver goal rule really screwed over the Czechs; had the goal been scored even a minute later (i.e. at the start of the second half of extra time), the Czechs would have had more than ten minutes to try and get an equaliser (given the level of pressure they were exerting, they very well might have). As it turned out, there was just enough time left over for the referee to bring the first half (and the match) to a close.

All these things like golden/silver goals and the home/away goals rule (Champions' League) are leading to some piquant situations in football matches.

What are the odds of the same teams taking part in both the first and the last matches of a tournament? It looks more and more likely that my prediction is going to come true.
