Yes, 44 years is a long time since Spain last won a major tournament (42 years since England last won a trophy!).
Anyway, Spain deservedly won Euro 2008 last night beating the dogged Germans 1-0. We were in our local bar in Lanjaron, the Flower Bar. As you can imagine the whole place went mad!
Fantastic for the country and what a good team they have. They never sat back on the lead they had and were always pushing forward trying to score again. In these days of defensive coaches the way they played was most refreshing to see (England manager and players please take note!)
Our Bavarian friend, Herbert Troll, was suitable dressed up in his leather leiderhosen (is that how you spell it?), but he wasn’t slapping his thighs at the end. Nevertheless, he took the defeat with his customary good grace, as you can see.
See short video below of the moment the fulltime whistle went.
