I'm not sure who the author is, possibly Chris Murphy, but the live commentary provided by ESPN today during the Sweden and Greece match is quite possibly the best commentary of all time. This is a must read with gems including...
39th- "This is ridiculous. Sweden are sitting in formation and the three Greek defenders knock it between themselves in their own half to a crescendo of boos from the Swedish fans. Amazing. Even for Greece."
40th- "How on earth did this side win the thing in 2004? Astonishing. They should be thrown out of the tournament on the strength of that passage of play alone."
73rd- "Justice, my friends, has been done. The only team on display interested in playing the beautiful game leads by two goals to nil. In your face Greece."
87th- "Thank goodness Ibrahimovic punctured the despondency with a piece of genius,. If he hadn't I can confidently predict we'd be sitting at 0-0 now and rapidly contemplating self harm."
92nd- "That is that, and thank goodness Sweden ensured football was the winner tonight. Having a tactical game plan is one thing, sitting in your own half time wasting after only half an hour is criminal. Greece should be ashamed of themselves. There's no place for such explicit negativity in this celebration of football. Well done Sweden, good riddance Greece."

It linked me over to the Spain/Russia live commentary where I found this moment of beauty:
"90: Goal! Fabregas seals the win!"
As if somehow, up 3-1 in the 90th minute, the win wasn't already sealed. Remember that time John Buck dunked on Virginia? Even though we were up 20, that totally sealed the win.
