It was a joy to watch El Nino (Torres) scoring the winner for Spain which put an end to the itchy 44 year wait for Glory...first of all he's one of my favorite players & moreover he's from Liverpool...that made it even more special...
This shud give u the comprehensive analysis of the final...
http://riteshp.blogspot.com/2008/06/ebullient-energetic-espana.html
Fernando's my player of the tournament...many would disagree with this as he hasn't really scored the number of goals one wud want him to...but his tireless work rate......Constantly being marked by a minimum of 2 defenders all the time...Taking away the defenders with him, his deep runs & selflessness that gave David villa enough space to exploit & villa didnt disappoint.
Marcus senna has been a revelation...who always had that calming influence in midfield and ably partnered Xavi...The Brazilian born Spanish playmaker truly deserves a pat on his back...
Xavi...as usual simply consistent...maintained the spanish Tempo...
Next up is David Villa...scored a hatrick against Russia...had a real good understanding with torres on the pitch...Scored that inspirational winner against sweden...shud i say more?
Arshavin...its a sad situation really..he will have to live with the fact that Russia were beaten by a better team..nevertheless he's been the find of the tournament...May be the Barcelona transfer speculation got onto him and was not at the top of his game in SF against Spain.
Yuri Zhirkov...Another Russian...a Left Back...has got that delicate touch and capable of those mazy runs...am sure the clubs in top leagues are lookin out for him....
Fabulous Fabregas again...who didnt dissappoint when called upon...he was the SUPER SUB.
Andrea Iniesta...didnt have the best of starts but it was his nimble footwork that setup a few vital goals for spain...he is every striker's Dream.
Michael Ballack...Simply Inspirational...again...
Its the final jinx that still haunts him...remember 2002 world cup final in which Ballack missed out due to suspension & germany lost? and wat about the champions league last season with chelsea & EPL as well...He will surely want to go a step ahead of runners-up tag.
Dutch Played some brilliant Football & they convincingly beat Italy & France but it was sad to see the way they bowed out against a relentless Russian attack...The DARK HORSE failed again...but senijder has been immense...playing in the hole behind the striker...involved with some superb link up play...& a few classy goals as well...he will want to do better in South Africa.
The gigantic Palyuchenko from Russia...3 goals to his name...has a superb shot & nice first touch...he needs a few chances infront of goal to score one but when he does get it right...its marvellous!
Goal Keeper is the last resort for any defense & cassilas stepped up & lived upto the expectations...made some vital saves...pipped Buffon (Italian Goalie) in penalty shootout & catapulted spain into SF...& ably captained Spain to Euro Glory.
The last but not the least...Sergio Ramos...the flying right back has been immense...not only good offensively but defensively as well...cutting the wing supplies...& majorly responsible for keeping Arshavin quiet during the SF.
Euro 2008 has showcased football particularly well with all the teams adopting an open style of play...not a single boring match i must say...
& Spain's the worthy winner!!
