Spain vs Germany – EURO 2008 Final Preview
SharePosted on 29. Jun, 2008 by Gallivanter in Football
I’ll be watching this match @ Souled Out Hartamas, with some of my fellow colleagues of Total Sports Asia (TSA). As such, since our CEO is coincidentally a German, just like the country I’ve been supporting since Lothar Matthaeus’ West Germany’s World Cup victory in 1990.
The million dollar question is, which Germany will show up? The one against Portugal? If that is the case, then Spain will find it hard to contain the Germans. Having said that, Spain do look like the best side in the tournament, partially thanks to Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas who is the main engine in the team, although Aragones fails to see it.
The Spaniards have a number of attacking-minded players in their team. Except for David Villa who will miss the final due to injury, David Silva seems to catch my eye whenever I watch Spain play. Although I would love to have him join ARSENAL, but I don’t think he could take the rigours of the EPL.
What can I say about the Germans when all has already been said by the media? This team does not know when to give up. They simply do not stop playing until the whistle blows. No matter how off form they can be, but their mental desire to win outweighs their performances. And when they actually play, they can be devastating. Just ask Christiano Ronaldope’s Portugal.
Will Ballack score 2 goals in the final? Will it be a low scoring 90 minute draw, with extra time and even penalties? This is a tough one to call – it all depends on GERMANY.

Everybody seems to favor Spain after their convincing performance against Russia. I will personally pick Germany for the Championship because of their big match experience. The Germans always do well when they are overlooked!
