Euro 2012 has been quite a ride till now. Here, there and everywhere. The semi finals are half way through and predictions are madly doing the rounds. Psychic animals haven't taken to Paul and have rather disappointed. Three of the top favourites, well almost, made it to the final four. Spain edged out Portugal into the finals of the prestigious event.

The Euro 2012 is into the business zone now but has not been without its share of controversies. What all has transpired in the group phase has been ranging from the ordinary to the bizarre to the serious stuff. Here is a sneak peek into the Euro 2012 till now.

They have three wins from three games but Germany coach Joachim Loew believes his team is lacking the killer instinct. Of course he was talking about his side falling short in putting the finishing touch to the chances being created.

The Euro 2012 is into its second round of matches and it still remains unclear as to what the outcome might be. The first round has been a bumpy ride for some of the fancied sides but it also has been a rosy ride for others those were pretty much unheralded.

In a football season that can be termed as a season for the underdogs, Euro 2012 would be a fascinating one if the trend continues.

Germany didn't exactly get the confidence boost they were looking for ahead of Euro 2012 when Bayern Munich fell at the final hurdle in the Champions League final.  Of course, Bayern are a club side and we are talking about the national team here but when - just like Barcelona in Spain - players from a team form the crux of the national side the fortune of the club becomes important.
