Co-hosts Switzerland bow out after 5 days of Euro 2008

June 11th, 2008 •  Permalink  • Read comments

So the dream is over for the co-hosts, who have never won a game at the Euros, although tonight they did take a lead for the first time in their history in this competition. Both teams fought against ‘incredbible conditions’ (Alan Shearer on the BBC) to serve up a thrilling second half with drama at both ends and a late winner.

Despite the conditions, the teams managed to cover plenty of ground as the half time team heat maps showed, and the final distances were up there with the teams who have played in perfect conditions. Covering 105140m and 107613m respectively, Switzerland and Turkey can hold their heads up high for playing such a good game in those conditions. The Castrol Performance Index has provided the stats that they can be proud of.

  1. Your EURO 2008 Wall Chart is incorrect.

    The Quarter Finals show two Group A 1st and two Group B 2nd.

    Other than this, it is a good chart.
