The UEFA Euro 2008 finally kicked off yesterday (07/06/2008) and the Czech Republic beat hosts Switzerland in the opening match of UEFA Euro 2008, courtesy of a goal scored by substitute Vaclav Sverkos.
Even more bad news for Switzerland is that their influential captain Alexander Frei has been sidelined for the rest of Euro 2008 after injuring his knee in the opening game as he limped off in tears. Alexander Frei is an important player as he's the one who scores Switzerland's goals and without him the Swiss will struggle.
Result
Switzerland 0-1 Czech Republic
