I hope Brazil was watching and taking notes. To thine ownself be true. A win for Spain but a bigger win for football. I hope Jawge took notes.Comment

Pedro hurt Spain terribly. It could come back to haunt Spain because Torres needed the goal for his confidence."Jah Jah see dem a come, but I & I a Conqueror!"Comment

Yes he looked like one of the Ghanain strikers there. Man wide open and you fu $$$ around with the ball.Comment

i would say a bigger win for the football purists... the new football converts still wold like to see more goals... spain does not score a lot of goals, but they control the game with skill, passing and off the ball movement... the way brazil used to play...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

Exactly. Like I said I hope Brazil is taking notes.Comment

that would have been a 'certain' goal had he passed it to torres... you could see the frustration by torres... until that point pedro was having a good game...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

There was some frustration but he didn't show as much displeasure as he should have...maybe a sign that the confidence still not there.Peter R

The real story is that the German players are young and were dazzled by an entire team of brilliant Spanish stars who shine throughtout the entire Champions League. It was a mental thing! They knew that they were boys playing against men. They did not believe as they had before in the tournament that the sum of their non-star squad was greater than the sum of all other teams."Jah Jah see dem a come, but I & I a Conqueror!"Comment

That's a confusing post... Spain defended BRILLIANTLY! Did you see the way they won the ball back when they lost it? and had numbers closing down the Germann attackers when they approached the 18?Originally posted by Warlord View Post
Fact is, German did play too deep and gave the Spanish time to build their confidence... and thus their counters were from too deep to be effective.Peter R

Germany didnt believe they could. Fact is too that Germany knew that the Spanish team had excellent touch and passing and had Germany opened up too early it could have been six to eight goals for Spain."Jah Jah see dem a come, but I & I a Conqueror!"Comment

par for the course.

Initially I thought the Spanish were playing into the Germans hands with all the passing and no real penetration... but then Germany gave them the room to bring the ball right into the box too often.
Anyway, no sauerkraiut for me tonight and although I like Wiener schnitzel...
