I really cant see the Spanish holding back,i mean theyve defensive problems,and they follow a policy of attack being the best form of defence!!
Out of sight of subject shores, we kept even our eyes free from the defilement of tyranny. We, the most distant dwellers upon earth, the last of the free, have been shielded till today by our very remoteness and by the obscurity in which it has shrouded our name.

Commiserations to our German friends, but they were clearly outclassed.
Well done Spain! Big Grin

I still can't believe it, and I really think that Luis Aragonés thinks the same as me :lol:

Congratulations to our Spanish friends. It was a better game than I had anticipated. Spain had some good moments there at the end as well. Carsten
While I was a neutral fan I must admit I was leaning towards Ballack's
team. After all he does play for Chelsea 8)
Sorry about the "curse" :oops:

Clearly the better side won,i mean the german rearguard was in trouble the whole night with spains pace.Fair play to all,its been an exciting tournament to say the least!!
