    Thoughts on the result have been wavering all day.

    Almost tempted to go for the Germans, naturally. Not really fond of either team, but now is just
    the time for appreciation of football, and I'm really hoping for a cracking final. That might just
    elevate this tournament above Euro 2000 for me yet.

    Final Prediction

    Germany 1-2 Spain (2045)

    [I shall say this only once. Come on Spain! Mon lads, just get it done.]
    it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come

    May I just say a BIG thankyou to Quintus.J.Cicero for setting this game up.

    I have enjoyed it immensley.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    No chance they're playing terribly, just like they have been in all their other games. It is still a wonder to me how they made it this far.

    Congrats to Little Grizzly, and congrats to Spain. Never thought I'd see the day.

    Quintus, I actually predicted 1-0 after 90 minutes, not AET. Obviously doesn't make enough difference to overhaul Grizzly.

    Edit: Sorry, just checked the leaderboard, I got my points anyway. 2nd place, woohoo!

    Thanks everyone, i would like to thank my friend luck who came through for me GG
    Great game you setup Quintus it helped pick up the tournement for me as England weren't in there i thought i wouldn't enjoy it too much, but this game made it more enjoyable.

    Spain were great most of the game, Germany had a small spell at the start were they looked decent but after Torres goal they never looked too threatening, spain deserved it and im glad spain got it, nice to see a underachieving side take it.
    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    Oh well. If you one side has the inferior footballers, you have to make it up with heart, running and unbending will. That's why Germany is a much feared team, and that's why Germany did not win this tornament.

    Nevertheless I'm neither sad nor angry, because

    1. It's good to lose against Spain, cause afterall they are neither Italia nor Netherlands.

    2. It's good to lose against Spain because they were invincible, which avoids us the blamage.

    3. It's good to lose against Spain because afterall they normally just do not win.

    4. It's good to lose against Spain cause in the tiny village of Mario Gomez's grandfathers they can now wholeheartedly rename a street after him, exactly as it was planned before the Euro.

    Congratulations Spain, again a very deserved victory.
