Germany vs Spain Preview


Germany was favourite for bookies to win the Euro 2008, just before the tournaments started, we can’t say the same thing for Spain. Strong teams like Italy, France, Croatia, Portugal, Netherlands which had their chances, are at home already and they will watch the final from TV.

Spain always had a pretty good team but for some reason they failed to reach the final stages of such tournaments in the last quite a few years. They now have a very strong team, players from the top club teams in Europe and a very productive attacking mentality.

On the other hand Germany is a strong team, they always been some sort of favourites at any tournament they participate. Players like Ballack, Podolski or Klose can always make they difference on the pitch.

I expect a beautiful match, close enough as I believe none of the teams will assume strong attacking responsabilities at the begining. It is a difficult match to bet on, probably the best option would be to bet on handicap or “under”/”over” - goals scored. I would like to think the match will be decided in extra time or perhaps at penalties but you’ll never know what to expect from a final!
