Czech Republic Beats Switzerland 1-0

Vaclav Sverkos left the Swiss fans in tears after his 70th minute strike was the difference in the opening game of Euro 2008.  The game went back and forth, but some lax defending was what cost the Swiss points.  The Swiss cleared a corner, but didn't push up the field fast enough.  Sverkos received a header over the Swiss defense, and put it into the net.  The hosts pushed on to find an equalizer, but were unsuccessful.  The Czech Republic will play Portugal and Switzerland will combat Turkey, next wednesday.
