EuroVison: At Long Last

   

It’s been 44 years, but Spain has finally broken the jinx, and perhaps shed the label “Choke Artists” as well.

La Furia Roja beat Germany 1-0 on the back of a single Fernando Torres goal. Congratulations, Spain!

Congrats to the Spanish team though I thought the substitution of Fabregas was kind of dubious, but I gotta say Xavi Alonso was simply superb and it could’ve been 3-0 had Senna and the other one connected.
In my eyes the head butt by Senna on Ballack was intentional when looking at the replays but he’s a big boy and he handled it very well.
Spain has had the depth on the bench over the Germans and for the first time I saw a German team that just was OUT OF GAS! very starnge but true!
Alright Cesc now bring the Champions League Trophy to the Emirates.

The headbut was by Silva actually. :-) It was DEFINITELY intentional and pretty disgusting. Was he TRYING to pull a Zidane?

In fact, I was very surprised that the commentator made not ONE Zidane reference. I mean major international competition final and a headbut takes place and NOTHING?!

Probably should have been sent off; there’s no place for that.
