At Last....After 44 years.

Yes..that is how long Spain had waited to get their hands on the European Championship.They won it last in 1964,they went to the finals in 1984,but lost to France.Last night,they achieve their dreams,and ended the long frustrating wait after beating Germany 1-0 in an entertaining game with Fernando Torres providing the much needed goal to send them and their country on a wild celebration.

They deserve the win.They play such a wonderful and intricate passing game,defence splitting passes and they also defended very well.They outplay,outclass and outpace the Germans in the finals and maintain their 100% record in the tournament.Torres rightfully won the Man Of The Match award and Xavi won the Player Of The Tournament award.

I got my prediction right,although Spain won by a solitary goal,but they can easily won it by 2-0 or 3-0 if not for the goal post and Lehmann great goalkeeping ability even at 38.This will be the last post about football..for now and enjoy some great photos from the finals.

Being a German supporter this was a hard pill to swallow - but well done, Spain. 44 Years! And well deserved.
