Euro Joy for Spain

Spain have officially been crowned the new Kings of Europe after winning Euro 2008 against Germany. They outclassed their opponents by winning the battle 1-0. Spain, having failed to live up to expectations by not winning any silverware for 44 years, had finally ended that barren by winning this year's event.


And what a tournament it has turned out to be for the Spaniards. They literally cruised in the group stages, demolishing Russia 4-1 in the opening game before repeating that same feat (amid a different score line) in the semi finals. And in a game touted to be between Germany's physical strong and efficiency approach against the fluid passings of Spain, is was ultimately the Spanish's approach that prevailed. They passed the ball silky smoothly, and their touches were just exquisite. It was surely a joy to behold!

After France bowed out of the tournament at the first hurdle, I shifted my support towards Spain, as it had 4 Liverpool players in the squad (Reina, Arbeloa, Alonso, and Torres). And even though Torres failed to play his game in much of the tournament, he scored the goal that would forever be in the remembrance of Spanish supports as it was his goal that won them the game.
