The team that I favoured right from the start did not let me down. And for once, the best team won (Euro 2004 was won by the anti-football style and resilient Greeks, not that I hate them tho).
The Spanish Armada reigned throughout the match. Their German counterparts are of no match, save maybe the start of the game and 5 minutes somewhere in the final quarter. Other than that, the sleek short passing and creative play, once again, had triumphed. Added the icing of the cake of course, its my long time favourite, Fernando Torres scoring the vital goal.
I would say that the whole team is much to my admiration. The back four of Puyol, Ramos, Marchena and Capdevilla improved every match and had not conceded any goals in the knockouts. Of course, there is the ever reactive and alert Casillas. The midfield cab boast the best in the world, consisting EURO best man Xavi, the light-footed Silva, creative Iniesta and the ever hard-working Marcos Senna. Upfront, Torres and top-scorer David Villa is the best combination I've seen in the EURO, though sadly Villa cannot participate the final. Even their substitutes are great...Fabregas, Guiza, Xabi Alonso and Santi Carziola. They had the aura to change the game when called for. And not forgetting grumpy old tactician, Arogones.
Thanks for the entertainment, Spain. It is so worth supporting the team all the way.
The decider.
The joy.
The champions.
