Finally one trophy for the Spain team ...

Finally.....
Finally Spain has done it! It is a long deserving trophy for Spaniards. In recent years they are playing excellent football but could not win a major trophy. If we look back for their world cup or Euro records then we can find that their "one match blunder" spoilt their prominent presence several times.

Coming back to Euro 2008. To be honest I was supporting Portugal, another unlucky team, initially. All because of Ronaldo this time. I am not like few other football fans who runs behind recent success. You can count me as true fan of his as I liked him from Euro 2000 when he was a thin 17 year old player. I liked his attitude more than his skills. You can find him in each corner of the field and he tries his best always.

However once again they failed. Infact 3 best teams of this Euro (according to me off course) has one thing in common "one match blunder". As Nederland and Portugal are already out, I was supporting Spain in full. And they did not disappointed me.

The score line looks like 1-0 but in reality it could have been 10-0. Such dominating and creative the Spain team was. They could not finished a number of brilliant moves. But Alonso, Torres, Ramos and team finally managed to win a deserving match. We knew Alonso and Torres for their attacking ability. But Ramos was excellent through out the tournament. Probably after Roberto Carlos we got another versatile defender who got brilliant defensive technique along with excellent attacking skills.

Congratulation Spain team.....
