Euro 2008 Finals

Germany 0 - 1 Spain




It won't go down as the greatest finals match in Euro history, but congrats are due for the Spanish side. Not conceding a goal through the entirety of the knockout stages is a good recipe for a championship.

Still, for as much as Spain controlled the tempo and created attacks, it should have been a more decisive victory. One goal, on a wild swinging kick that Lehman saves 99.99 per cent of the time? Again, not one for the ages, but a nice enough warmup for WC 2010.
