The Euro 2008 Championship draws to a close in Vienna with the final game and a clear winner. A fantastic and exciting final game that kept us on the edge of our seats whilst we waited patiently for the final whistle to blow before Spain was announced as the champions of Europe. A long awaited result, actually 44 years since Spain held the trophy, but they did not care as today was their day and of course they thoroughly deserved it winning all of their games.
The key to success came from their opening 4-1 win against Russia through the hoodoo-laying shoot-out triumph over Italy in the quarter-finals to Sunday night's deserved coronation in Vienna, Spain have bettered all-comers at this EURO, not slipping up once. But what was the key to their success? Was it the artistry of their fluent, fleet-footed midfielders or the goals of final match-winner Fernando Torres and tournament top scorer David Villa? Or the inspirational leadership of veteran coach Luis Aragonés (69 years old), but does it really matter now as Spain rejoyce and the party goes on and on, especially with my buddy Tony who lives in Madrid. Maybe the Germans just lacked some Ballack's........
