I don't know what it is with Germany. They are always so hated in fotball (soccer for you americans...). We say that they are boring, their game is boring. But I think we, somewhere in the back of our heads, involve world history into the sport when we find our favourite teams. Nazi Germany is more known to a wider audience than the cruel civil war of Spain. But putting that apart I still think that Spain was the best team of the Euro 2008 and a worthy winner. They have a very fun and interesting game that is good fun to watch. And it doesn't hurt to see Casillas in action... But perhaps my main reason why I wanted Spain to win and not Germany was simply because Germany always ends up in the final or semi finals. They are like the popular kid in school who always win the prizes, gets the hottest girls and probably look naturally gorgeous. Spain, in the other hand, is the brilliant kid with the undiscovered talent and lack of self-asteam. He's not really bullied, but he knows his place and can therefor never be best at anything. And that's why I love to see Spain win, to kick the ass of the popular kid who will get everything he wants anyway. That's the way life should always be. Congrats to Spain!
