Spain won victory over Germany in the Euro 2008 Finals Soccer Tournament last June 29, 2008. 44 years have passed since the Spanish team finally had their championship since 1964. The long wait is worth it. Germany who won three Euros and three World Cup titles did not match the Spanish team during this final.
Spain has never made a World Cup final and was in one other Euro final, aside from the 1964 triumph. That was a loss to France in 1984.
For Fernando Torres who scored in the 33rd minute of the game said, it is the most significant day in Spanish history football in so many years. "We played the best for the entire tournament and we beat some great teams," "We beat Italy, the World Cup champion, and we beat Russia and now Germany. That is how you become champion." This is what Torres said.
51,428 people watch at Ernst Happel Stadium to witness this magnificent soccer tournament. The crowd is equally divided between Germany and Spain. Although the Spaniards are expected to go into a protective shell and without their leading scorer David Villa who recently had a leg injury, they continued to carry their attacks and were far more dangerous than the Germans until the whole game ends.
A crowd of about 68,000 occupied Vienna's downtown to watch the finals. In Germany, flags waved from balconies and car antennas across the country. An estimated 400,000 fans watched the game on large outdoor screens in Berlin.
This is the first time that Spain had won the European title since 1964 and their first final spot since 1984. Viva "ESPANA!"
