Futsal Euro Tournament

Just an update here on the Futsal European Champsionship taking place in Belgium. In Group A, the hosts aren't looking too good. Ukraine at the moment lead the group with a final game against bottom-placed Belgium. Romania meanwhile are, for all intents and purposes, through to the quarter-finals after destroying Belgium 6-1. They do not have a perfect record though, since the Ukrainians were able to edge the Romanians 1-0. Over in Group B, the Netherlands have already been knocked out leaving Russia and Portugal to fight it out for the top position in a scintillating final group match. Based on the teams' performances against the Dutch, Russia might be favorites after winning 7-1 but Portugal's 5-0 result will ensure that they are both going through no matter what the result is. Groups C and D are a match behind the first two but the ice has been broken. In the former, Slovenia have jumped to the front following a 3-2 victory over the Italians while Azerbaijan have yet to start their campaign. Group D is also up for grabs - perhaps even more so - between Croatia and Spain who split points in their first match which ended 3-3. The Czech Republic waits to begin their group stage campaign. Hope you enjoy the competition!
