Germany

Naughty boy Silva

darkskol

Amazing fabregas off! :eek:
Alonso on looks like argones is content to play for a 1-0 win.
Silva lucky there the ref did not see that headbutt....now silva off cazorla on.

MementoMori

Germany

Arragones proving his tactical nous with the Cesc substitution

Silva and Podolski playing silly buggers

Germans have been much more dangerous since Kurayani came on.

Tis exciting stuff now

Xavi6

Germany

Lovely little variation by Spain on the corner.

3 chances in a minute.

darkskol

Spain having so many chances now in front of the German goal, Ramos should of scored that header.

MementoMori

Germany

Ah ffs Iniesta

What the hell does he have to do to get subbed???

Has had a shocker of a tournament and yet has been ever-present.

Meanwhile Fabregas who has been immense reduced to cameos

As others have said if Spain win this it will be in spite of Arragones not because.

MementoMori

Germany

Another poor one by the ref with the yellow for Torres for a clash of heads.:rolleyes:

Xavi6

Germany

Bye bye Nando

D.S.

No Torres, no Fabregas.., doesn't look good for spain going into the final ten..

~Rebel~

Germany

Aragones seems to have gone a bit nuts....Torres has still been looking very very dangerous, why take him off? I could see this one going to extra time...

MementoMori

Germany

Another masterstroke there by Arragones with Torres off again :mad::mad:

The German centrebacks will thank him for that.

Xavi6

Germany

Dirty Lehmann! Definite handball

~Rebel~

Germany

OH SENNA!

MIN2511

No way....

How the hell did he miss that

D.S.

What a miss..

Xavi6

Germany

What a goal that woulda been

MementoMori

Germany

Great passing there

Would have been awesome for Senna to get that one

~Rebel~

Germany

ref might have bottled it a bit there..

Xavi6

Germany

That should be it.

Germans offered nothing in the second half.

Germany

Well done Spain, deserved.

Xavi6

Germany

There it is.

Well done Spain. Best team on the night by a mile.

Xavi MOM :cool:


Ballack loses another final.

MementoMori

Germany

Hurrah !!!!!!!!

Better team won

Germans surprisingly lacklustre in the second half apart from just after Kurayani came on for about 10 mins.

MIN2511

CONGRATS!!!! Glad Spain won

eddiehead

Best team of the tournament, fully deserved, congrats Spain

tricky D

Great result. Well deserved and nice one nando. +€150:)

Necronomicon

Congrats Spain. Deserved both on the night and throughout the tournament.

****ing hell what a bizarre second half. in retrospect bringing Alonso on was the right move, completely cut off Germany from their forwards although i still don't understand why you'd take off Cesc ahead of Silva or Iniesta. Have to question the ref giving the free out on the 90th minute when Gomez was one on one with the keeper, think that was very lucky break for Spain, and so was Silva not getting spotted by the refs, but overall, a fantastic performance from the Spaniards.

Really really surprised at the Germans though. completely seemed to lose belief at around the 70th minute. I think taking Lahm off (assuming it was a tactical decision) was the wrong thing to do. I know he was poor defensively but Germany had absolutely no creativity without him behind the front him.

well. now what do we do?

Sherifu

Germany

Delighted for them.

Xavi6

Germany

I'd say he's 'Iker' to get his hands on the trophy......

Great tournament and fair play to Spain for actually living up to their hype.

Germans didn't look like doing anything against them really.

staker

Germany

Well done Spain. a great night for soccer. What a turnaround from the playing style that won the last euros! When's the wc qualifiers starting??

el rabitos

played great football throughout the championship, a credit to the best footballing league in europe too.

xavi was class, pure class. just some passes that sliced germany apart, great to see. torres taken off for no good reason, was killing the german defence playing on their shoulders.

good tourny though, not the best, but good football throughout.

awesome spain. finally

August for Europe.

Why does Dunphy keep saying Iniesta is a Catalan?

Mr Magnolia

Decent final. Delighted to see Spain win, better team by a good margin.

Can anyone tell me what Ramos had on his t-shirt?

Fair play to Spain worthy winners but my God Germany were hopeless tonight.
