Spain 1 Germany 0: European Championship final

June 29, 2008

Germany were completely outplayed in the European Championship final of 2008 by a more exciting and skilful Spanish team. Torres put Spain ahead in the 33rd minute but there should have been at least 2 more as the Germans were rarely in the game.

Spain were deserved winners of the tournament and have installed themselves as one of the favourites for the World cup in 2010.

Congratulations Spain !
