Espana win Euro 2008!!

Dont be a sore loser!

In fairness, he hasn't exactly lost anything.

Great win of Spain. I would have liked to see a bit more goals though.

 

[m_vaughan]

Yeah, although it was an action packed game. Spain had more spells of domination, but Germany did have a fair share. I feel sorry for Lahm actually because he has probably been the best right back in the tournament along with Capdevila and Zhirkov.

Oh yeah sorry. need to be in it first to lose it. Nevermind.

Well played to Spain. I don't wanna sound insane, but I think the tournament deserved better than a 1-0 final.

Again let me point out that your anti-english football team comments mean nothing to a Welshman. It's also a bit rich coming from someone from the UAE and the massive footballing pedigree that your nation has.

David Villa also ends up as the top scorer of the tournament with 4 goals, thats one more than anyone else. The funny thing is he scored those goals in the first two games! Well deserved nevertheless!:happy:happy

Oh and bdw, David Healy is the top scorer with 13 goals, if you include the qualifiers. So well done to him for that. Three of them came against us in that ugly game.

Coming from the man who's country is actually shite at everything.

Got up at 4:45am, Australian time to watch the game. I thought it was a good game though Spain deserved to score more than the one goal. Germany had spurts but were never "in" the game. Good game which I thought was worth getting up for.

 

[m_vaughan]

Ofcourse its worth getting up for. Comes once in four years, and for me, it was the first time I got to see Spain in a final (or a semi-final).

And Xavi is named the player of the tournament. He played well no doubt but I would have given it to Senna.

i would have given it to Iniesta tbh...

anyhow great win for spain...completely outplayed the germans and finally the deadlock for them is broken...they look like a really close unit and seem to work well together and have a very good chance of winning the WC

 

[m_vaughan]

It was between Iniesta, Senna and Xavi.

Good luck on winning Euro 2010 a pitty you will be the only team participating.

 

[m_vaughan]

England have a 1% chance of winning. And that too is because they now have a good manager in FabC.
