Euro 2012 has been filled with high drama, memorable results, breakout players and clutch performances, making for one of the more intense group stages in recent memory. Not one team has clinched a place in the knockout stage just yet, and each group will be two-thirds of the way through the opening stage following Friday's England-Sweden and Ukraine-France matches.

All of that sets the stage for what should be a wild conclusion to the group stage starting with Saturday's Group A finales. Before looking ahead, though, there is plenty to look back on from the past week of action. 

In case you haven't been able to keep up with all of the Euro 2012 happenings, here's a look at some of the best, most-memorable goals the tournament has had to offer thus far. Enjoy:

  1. Dzagoev’s 2nd vs the Czechs was a pretty nice goal too. I mean Cech should’ve stopped it, but the same could be said of Gomez’s 2nd vs Holland.

  2. Is this a list of Euro 2012’s best so far, or just a list of every goal in the tournament??? (haha)

    Quite a lot of goals that would be considered standard if not for the big stage they were scored on…

  3. I agree on the Gomez goal. Him continuing the run to get open for Schweinsteiger is nice on the second, but his turn and finish on the first one was better.

  4. awesome clips. Thanks for posting. One issue though: the schevchenko video absolultey sucks. It shows a lot hugging and kids screaming, but you don’t see the goals (but you sort of see the before and after parts for the goal)
