Ernst-Happel Stadion in Vienna awaits two European guns that will decide who deserves to be crowned European Champions. Spain have cruised to the finals having been unbeaten in the whole competition but did face a minor glitch in terms of Italy. Spain demolished the Russians again with another three goal margin but are unlucky to have lost their leading scorer Villa. But Fabregas, who came on to replace Villa against the Russians showed his worth with excellent passing and supporting Torres the whole game. Torres was disappointing in the semi-final, but that was supported by the loss of Villa who had sensational understanding with El Nino. Aragones has to decide whether to change formation for the final or to start with Daniel Guiza who did put himself on the score sheet in a flash after substituting Torres. Aragones' no-nonsense attitude has brought out the best from his Spanish contingent, but if I was in his shoes, Fabregas should be on the starting line-up.Germany awaits Spain on the other side, who have been labeled the under-dogs for the Euro 08 final. I agree that the Germans have stuttered in their goal to reach the finals, but if Spain considers them under-dogs too, the Germans are going to bite hard. Joachim Low has suffered a blow (Lolllll !! But no pun intended) with regards to his captain who could miss the final due to injury. Ballack will surely be missed, but the Germans can adapt as they have a ready replacement in terms of Frings. Gomes is unlikely to start, so the Germans would most probably start with the same team expect for Ballack being replaced by Frings. The Germans will need to focus and a similar performance as against the Turks will cost them.
Pick the winner already... Difficult to say who would win this close encounter, but one thing is for a fact it will be a game to watch. I say 2-1 to Spain or something along those lines. If it does go to penalties, may the best team win...
