    I don't want to be the only one in the streets rioting for Spain, some of those pesky german fanboys might have hurt me or something.

    Overall a good tournament. Congrats to Spain for winning it, never seen a worse defence from Germany.

    Congratulations to LittleGrizzly. Deserved winner who led throughout the second half of the campaign. Is there any chance of giving him a badge to honour his triumph?

    Congrats to Spain!

    Looking back at Torres' goal, am I the only one who thinks Lahm gave up on it, assuming that he had Torres blocked out and Lehmann was going to get to it? It just seems to me like he got lazy. Well done by Torres to keep motoring, blow past him, and flick it over Lehmann's slide.

    Torres was the wrong side and they were both sprinting for the ball.... i had always thought off lahm as a fairly fast player, not quite torres pace but he isn't slow, but he just seemed to slow down, it looked like lahms feet were quicking mid air whilst torres took 2 or 3 steps and ran round him.... im sure lahm could have stopped him..

    The way I saw it Lahm had to slow down and give up the chase because Lehmann came out of the goal and was trying to dive for the ball. If Lahm had kept going I think he'd have run straight over Lehmann. I think Lahm could have stopped Torres from getting a good shot in if Lehmann had stayed more or less in goal. But hell everyone makes mistakes and if the Germans really wanted to win they needed to score in the remaining hour....

    The way I saw it was that Lehmann should have stayed in his net.

    There were some pretty stupid calls against Germany by the referee at the end of the game. Spain did play better, but Germany could've tied if not for that bloody stupid foul call at the end. When it should have been a Spanish foul, the ref calls a German foul.

    Well Spain was clearly better, but as a matter of fact the referee did decide in dubio pro Iberia - at least a penalty was due for Germany for a clear hand in the box. Anyway I congratulate the great spanish fans and the players which enjoyed my region, the beautiful Tyrol.

    So true, Lehman should have let Lahm handle it and should have covered his goal. No way Torres would have gotten it in from such an angle, had Lehmann stayed put, and without the support of his other teammates.

    Ha! That'll teach you!

    Germany-Belgium, World Cup 1994, the foul by Thomas Helmer on Josip Weber should have been a penalty and a red card for Helmer. Damn that Swiss referee Röthlisberger.

    Concerning penalties, Lehman once played with his hand when he shouldn't and the commenter said had the referee seen it that should have been a red card, yes a red card for the goalkeeper, I would have loved to see that.

    All Turkish players were punished with weird cards, let alone that idiot Volkan's idiot action (which was a deserved one).
