Spain: Jinx Broken

At last Spain broke the ‘jinx’. They deserved to win this tournament. Their midfield was superb. Their passes were deadly. I was happy that my prediction matched. It is very difficult to match the prediction in football. This will really encourage me to write more in my blog.

I liked Xavi in the final. He really played well. The goal which Torres scored was magnificent. A very intelligent and well taken goal. These bunch of Spanish players are excellent. If guided properly, I think they can a force to reckon with in 2010 World Cup. They stopped Germans just with their skill.

The final match though was not the best match of the tournament. The Germans actually ran out of idea. In my preview I had said ‘Spain has to stop Schweinsteiger and Podolski if they want to stop Germans.’ And that what Spain did. Their two players, Schweinsteiger and Podolski were well marked. The supply line to Klose was stopped and Germans found wanting in the front.

Spain won the match with the help of their midfield. They have one of the strongest midfield in the World currently. They could have scored 2-3 more goals. Congratulations to their coach Aragonés for binding the team well. He put the team in very positive mind.

This Euro championship has brought back the attacking play which is very soothing to see. I will surely write more on these next time….

Congratulation Spain for winning second time…
