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:
