Gratz to Spain, glad they won, only picked Germany since it was my only way to tie Pink_Dove since he picked Spain. Torres had a good game, unbelievable goal and nearly had a second.
Well Congrats to Spain. They definitely deserved it. I don't think many would argue that they were clearly the best team this tournament.
Definitely Spain deserved it, better side all around... how bout pulling Lamm at halftime though? They said he was injured, does mentally injured count? Tough goal to give up but hey, Germany got out-Germaned by Spain, on Torres goal and in the end losing 1-0... LOL.. Casillas was solid...
Good for Spain, they deserved it. It's got to feel good to shed that "underachiever" tag, too. I found myself pulling for them as this tournament went on, even though I'm usually partial to the Italians when I don't have any national heritage involved (i.e. no Ireland, England or Scotland in this tournament, and obviously no United States). Casillas didn't have to do much in the semi-final or final, but he saved their bacon in the quarterfinals, so good for him. Also good for Fernando Torres, who was absolutely snakebit in this tournament until that phenomenal goal in the final, which more than made up for everything.
Congratz to Spain. Final stats GOALS SCORED http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/statistics/teams/typestat=GS/index.html
The tournament has unfortunately come to an end and this was fun to watch. Thanks to the ones who participated in the tournament we had here. It was fun even though I completely sucked (LOL). You all did a good job. The winner of the 2008 Eurocup tournament is Pink_Dove. Sorry White, your going to get hell from Pinky for about 2134 years. Winner's badge: Thank you Gio for the badge!
