The kings of Europe : Spain or Germany
Last game at EURO 2008 will found two great teams with a lot of history at European Championships Spain vs Germany. None of the teams are for the first time in the final, the players are used to play high level football, and I think will be a great final in my opinion.
Spain is the only team which not lost any game at this tournament, they have only a draw with Italy in quarter finals, but they won it at penalty shoots with two great saves by Casillas. If we take a look at statistics we found Spain in the top of Shots on goal with 49 shots in 5 games (9.8 shots/game). From the semifinals teamsSpain and Turkey are the only teams who in the entire tournaments shot more on goal than wide.
| Team | Shots on goal | Shots wide |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | 49 | 42 |
| Turkey | 34 | 27 |
| Russia | 32 | 44 |
| Germany | 23 | 25 |
If we love the football we have to admit that Spain was better, but this not mean that will win the final. The Germany team defend very well and on counter-attack they decide a lot of games, at this tournament I have to remember just the game with Turkey when they have just 3 shots on goal, and they score 3 goals, amazing don’t you think?
This will be a game between this two coach. Luis Aragones an old but smart coach, I think he is a very good in strategy. His team stop the amazing Russia, and I think he locked very well the russians players, because in the semifinals did not have to much chances to score and the Spain team locked very well Arsavin and Pavlyucenko. Will Aragones stop the Germany team to?!
The other coach Joachim Low lead the team to the final without playing an amazing football, but the Germany team was very efficient, they score 10 goals in the tournament( equal to The Netherlands team and one goal less than the Spain team)
Just a few hours and we will find who is the kings of Europe.
