Spain has finally shaken their decades-long underacheiver tag with their first major trophy in 44 years. It is a far different Spain who celebrates tonight from the nation who won the European title in 1964 under the repressive fascist regime of General Francisco Franco — a man who saw success in football as a utilitarian way to sow the superficial seeds of national unity. Tonight’s win is the first under Spanish democracy, the notion of which was harmoniously reflected in the open, pass-oriented play the national side displayed throughout the Euro 2008 tournament. While they may not have been watching on big screens in the squares of the Basque city Bilbao or the Catalan capital Barcelona, you can bet that the majority of the citizens of even these separatist regions were glued to their TV sets to watch Catalan players (Xavi, Puyol, and Fabregas) join with Castillian players (Torres, Casillas) to cement the nation’s place in football history.
Spain beat Germany by 1-0 in EURO 2008 Finals to hold the cup for the first time in 44 years in Vienna. With this win Spain also continued their 100% winning streak.
A solitary goal from Fernando Torres in the 33rd minute was enough to hold off a German side who rarely looked like scoring as Spain had the majority of the chances in the second half.
A first-half goal from Liverpool’s Fernando Torres was enough to beat a defensively inept German side in Vienna. Torres struck just after the half hour mark, after muscling his way past Lahm and poking it over the advancing Lehmann.
Predictably the match started as a relatively scrappy affair, with neither team able to take the initiative. Nerves were surely playing a big part, as both Germany and Spain tried to ‘play themselves in’. Spain were seeing a lot of the ball, but were happy to play it around at the back, while the German’s were closing down quickly, and attempting to gain some early control.

And for our friends from Spain:
España, campeona de Europa. Suena raro, pero es así. Por una vez, un torneo de máximo nivel premió a la selección que mejor fútbol hizo durante tres semanas. Se habló de Holanda y después de Rusia, se incidió en la maldición de los cuartos de final, se objetó la competitividad de Italia y, ya al final, la eterna suerte de Alemania. Nada de eso. Ni hablar. Un gol de Fernando Torres en el viejo Prater de Viena en el minuto 33 de la primera parte dio a España su segunda Eurocopa. Al fin, una bella historia que contar a los nietos.
Debían ser los nervios. O la responsabilidad, quién sabe. Quizá fue el saberse, aun a tantos kilómetros de distancia, representantes de un país paralizado, de una España entera pendiente de unas imágenes, de unas pantallas, de un televisor. El caso es que la Selección no se pareció en el arranque a nada de lo que veníamos viendo en las últimas tres semanas. Por primera vez, Casillas rifó balones, por primera vez no se buscó el centro del campo, por primera vez veíamos balones volando por encima de las cabezas de nuestros pequeñitos.
