^^
yeah, that's my bet..

Germany to win.

2-1 to Germany.

 

[Nasonex]

And spain is known for being good at shoot-outs anyway.
But they're also known to choke...

Germans are the kings at penalties, they have the best penalty record in the world. 83% record

I can't see the Germans losing a penalty shootout.

Yeah absolutely impossible. they have NEVER lost on penalties

..

 

[BackCountrySnow]

I think with this bunch though...
Spain will take it if it reaches shootouts..

 

[Peartie]

spain will choke....they have a chokers tag! anyay i helped a bet with people from work and i stand to win moneys if germany win so im cheering for germany!! woo!!! go germany! then again ive been cheering for them the whole way through

 

[BamBam90]

Spain, ftw! :uhhuh:

 

[blakegman]

Your only a choker until you win. Eventually they are going to win arent they, so now is as good as time as ever.

As for penalties, tbh those things are always 90% luck 10% skill.

But spain's keeper is the best in the world so u have to factor that in.

 

[Martyno1]

Germany should win.

 

[blakegman]

bookies have spain as favourites.

2.40 compared to 3.10

 

[u-borat]

Its the battle of the two bottlers...Spain who haven't won anything major in like 44 years....vs Germany led by Michael Ballack who has come 2nd in just about everything in football....lol.

 

[frostysnow]

go spain! - because Germany would definitely get favouritism since they're playing before their own crowd and the umpires would favor them

 

[stazi]

their own crowd?

...?

are you american or something?

 

[u-borat]

lol @ umpires.

must sleep now, game in bit over 5 hours.

 

[gouge.away]

Espanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [!!!]

Campeones 2008 !!!

 

[blakegman]

their own crowd?

...?

are you american or something?

Yeah didn't you know that all european countries are the same and spain isn't actually in europe.

 

[11kloseboy]

Damn Fernando Torres tore Germany's defence apart. I wanted Germany to win though. Congragulations to Spain the winners of the European Chamionships 2008. Well at least I'm not a sore loser.

 

[blakegman]

Torres is best forward in world right now easily.

 

[Peartie]

as much as i wanted germany to win Spain dominated for all but about 20 mins in that match - Germany never posed any real threat and Spain are deserved Champions - Well done Spain....

It does keep germany's record for Euro finals going -
