Eurocast, the Euro 2008 podcast, episode 16 - Spain are champions.

Monday, 30 June 08, 05:44 AM

So Spain were deserved winners of Euro 2008 last night. I think most people agree they played the best football and on the night Germany really didn't trouble them at all.

In today's Eurocast we get perspective from both sides. Our regular Spanish correspondent Luigi and our German correspondent Tom give their opinions on last night's final while Tom Thom(p)son and I chat in studio about it.

A bit later in the week we'll be looking for your emails/voicemails about the bests and worsts of the tournament. We'll put up a blog post here to tell you exactly what we're looking for so hold off until then. Perhaps to get the conversation going in the comments today people could select their team of the tournament. 

I don't mean 'Spain' or 'Russia' but pick the best XI from all the teams who took part in Euro 2008. And what did you think of the tournament anyway? To me it was much more enjoyable than the last World Cup. Your thoughts very welcome.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who contributed to the Eurocast - whether by voicemail or email it's much appreciated.

Eurocast's Euro 2008 final predictions thread

Saturday, 28 June 08, 06:12 AM

All right then,

due to technical issues we won't be doing a preview show for the final but will, of course, have a post-final Eurocast on Monday.

So, who's going to win it? Can the Germans grind out a result or will Spain's attacking philosophy prove too much for the suspect German defence? 

I reckon Spain will win it.

Spain 2-0 for me. Possibly in extra time though.

Right, let's have your Euro 2008 final predictions in the comments. Enjoy the game.
