Euro 2008 is having a very dramatic finale.

 

Before Euro 2008, there were only five games, including finals, in the history of the competition of going into extra time. This past week, four games in the quarter finals have been played. Only the Germany-Portugal game did not go into extra time.

 

All these games have been heart stopping, blood pounding, and edge of the seat games.
