90' (+2): It's over SPAIN WON!!! THE NEW EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!!! There won't be enough sangria in the streets of Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, etc... tonight!!!! CELEBRATION!!!!
90': And after that horrible cross it can be Auf Wiedersehen!!!
89': Another kerfufle inside Spain's box. The ref called a foul on Schweinsteiger and the German didn't like it...
89': You can hear the Spanish crowd singing happily now: España, España!!!
84': But Germany can still save this match. Lots of goals have been scored in this Euro. Can Germany do just like Turkey did a couple of times?
82': Spain is 8 minutes away from their first International title in 44 years. It's about time.
80': Right in time to catch this amazing play by Spain. Marcos Senna started the play an almost finished it in great style!!!!
66': Great set piece by Spain. The ball is crossed and Sergio Ramos with a splendid header forces Lehmann to make another good save.
62': Germany NOW is trying to put pressure on Spain's defense ... There's still time... This match is far from over
59': Ballack!!!!!! Almost, almost, almost!!!!
58': Here comes Kevin Kuranyi. Two Brazilian-born are on his pitch right now. Marcos Senna for Spain and Kevin Kuranyi for Gemrany
54': David Silva shooooootssss after the corner and Sergio Ramos tried a heel flick. If he scored that one he could've gone home and just chilled
51': Germany is in trouble. They are not creating. They're nervous and Spain seems more and more comfortable and dangerous.
47': So Lahm, the man who could follow the 12-year-old-girl-looking Fernando Torres, is out and replaced by Jansen.
45' (+1): Half time whistle. Spain 1, Germany 0. A first 45 with lots of ups and downs.
41': Another corner for Germany.
37': The ref is not happy with Ballack's blood. He's out again. I'm telling ... staple him, staple him!!!
36': Ballack headed Senna's head. Staple him and he'll be fine!
25': The match gained some speed finally. Both teams are now attempting offensive plays
22': Spain had a great chance with Torres. El Niño jumped so high to head that ball it looks like he had coils on his boots. The ball hits the bar. Lucky Germans
19': Look at Torres punching the grass... hahahahaha... Metzelder who looks like a psycho with that beard got him. Free kick for Spain
15': Easy for Lehmann
14': Lehmannnnnnn!!!! Great save!!!! The shot was deflected by Mezelder and Lehmann found time to come back and make an amazing save!
12': I haven't seen Cesc Fabregas touch the ball yet. Did he go to the pooper and didn't come back???
10': The intelligence of the German strategy is admirable. Podolski and Ballack will explore the left side to force Sergio Ramos to stay in defense
7': Ballack just left Puyol eating dust with a sweet move on the far left but his cross was wayyyy far
6': Through ball to Capdevila on the left side of the attack but he was caught offside.
4': Sergio Ramos and all the Spanish defense has been flaky this tournament and the Real Madrid guy gave a present to Schweiney butthe German didn't take full advantage of it.
2': The match starts slow as I expected. Nobody wants to risk a crazy move in the beginning.
1': Here we go. Spain kicks it off.
Before Kick Off:
The National Anthems. Spain's players look a little nervous. I guess no matter how professional you are when it comes a decisive moment and the responsibility of proving you are really the best in the continent the tension takes over. All the German players (and the bench and crowd as well) are singing their anthem. A very beautiful moment
Before Kick Off: So here it is my fellow football lovers. The big Euro 2008 Final. Maybe not the final some expected but both teams got there with merits. Spain by playing an extremely offensive football and Germany with the well known organization and discipline.
