So Spain hurdled their final obstacle to taste the sweet victory in Vienna. A goal by Fernando Torres ended this country's hunger for a major title. And it just gets sweeter as it came very very late. haha..tagal na plang wlang title ang La Furia Roja. Their last was the Euro 1964.
I've heard days before the championship last night the press in Madrid can't contain their excitement. And here..they just came too strong for Germany. They were too zealous, too hungry, too powerful. haha..I'm happy for Aragones that he can retire with a major accomplishment under his belt. And somehow I felt sorry for Ballack. Just too many upsets for him. A German loss against Brazil at 2002 World Cup, last month's Chelsea placing 2nd to Manchester United, and now, Germany losing the cup to Spain. malas naman niya.
Anyway...I'm happy for Spain, even if I'm initially rooting for France.
A German fan reacts.
Queen Sofia and King Juan Carlos I of Spain congratulated Fernando Torres.
German Chancellor Angela Merckel comforted Micheal Ballack after Germany's loss. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero looks.
