  • derble, on 06/30/2008, -1/+33Now Only 710 days until the World Cup.
  • inactive, on 06/30/2008, -3/+27Nice find. The Spanish win is a victory for football. Great team, can't wait for the world cup!
  • Solsies, on 06/30/2008, -2/+22Rough year for Ballack, 2nd place in everything.
  • aaeyers, on 06/30/2008, -4/+21Time for everyone else in the world to make ridiculous stereotypes about Americans.

    I'm American, and I loved every minute of every game.
  • ExperiMETAL, on 06/30/2008, -1/+15here's one more (NSFW):

  • MisterEX, on 06/30/2008, -2/+14I'm American and watched every damn game I could (thank God for DVR). I love watching football. We're not all oblivious to the most popular sport on earth.
  • Elias1, on 06/30/2008, -2/+14Dug for using javascript instead of reloading the page for every. single. PHOTO!
  • TommyGuns, on 06/30/2008, -3/+14Good Set, Good find mate!
  • mass922, on 06/30/2008, -2/+9Was a sad time to be German. :(
    We'll get the WC.
  • Zempz, on 06/30/2008, -2/+9lol hey now not all of us are ignorant to football's greatness
  • Po0py, on 06/30/2008, -6/+12After the Italians winning the world cup it's good to see an honest team take a trophy home for once.

    Btw. Micheal Ballack is the slyest mofo in the game. He's a great player but he doesn't need to do half of the dirty ***** he does.
  • Manny70, on 06/30/2008, -1/+5Thanks, mate. Appreciate the help.
  • Manny70, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4Thanks, kickoff22. Yep, lots of exciting things could happen on the road to South Africa.
  • diecastbeatdown, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4torres deserved the goal, it's true.. he was working his arse off up until then and was being denied constantly.

    no liverpool fan here though. ;P
  • SugarCoatedSalt, on 06/30/2008, -0/+4god I love the world cup, seriosly cannot wait for it!
  • cesclaveria, on 06/30/2008, -2/+6I'm glad to see some fans from the US, this kind of stories usually turn into a flame war (and this post was just flamebait) thank you for showing we all can get along.
  • SebHughes, on 06/30/2008, -1/+5As a die hard Germany fan, I take my hat off to Spain, they played better on the night and deserved to win. If it wasn't for Lehmann being on top form, they would have most likely scored a couple more.
  • JKWMedia, on 06/30/2008, -1/+4Spain have play very good. Nice pictures thank you!
  • Niubai, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3Well, in fact, in portuguese can be both. "Jogo bonito" means "beautiful game". "Joga bonito" means "play beautiful".
  • MisterEX, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3Man, I love watching Spanish football! They're like surgeons with their passes, so precise!
  • diecastbeatdown, on 06/30/2008, -2/+5i'm american... Arsenal supporter and have been watching football since '98.

    watched every game in the euro cup this year including the qualifiers. croatia was my darkhorse, but without eduardo they were never going to make it. what a great surprise to see spain holding the cup though, well deserved.
  • athinnes, on 10/01/2009, -2/+5I am also American and a avid soccer (football) fan. To aaeyers defense, it does seem like every soccer article is accompanied by some idiot saying "oh, soccer" (see below). There are many Americans who share the same passion for the sport as the rest of the world. Please frown on the individual and not the country as a whole.
  • athinnes, on 10/01/2009, -0/+3I cannot wait.
  • anonymous1986, on 06/30/2008, -0/+3Attempt at a witty comment was FAIL
  • Fiestardi, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2There is not a lot of difference between Saudi Arabia and Switzerland or Austria or Estonia.
  • Oranjy, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2Unflattering.
    I though it shows off his agility.
    I agree he plays a brilliant game and really deserved a goal this time, he as been unlucky quite a few times.
  • hiteshsharma, on 06/30/2008, -8/+10Viva España..!!
  • indubitably, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2i'm curious to know what the reaction was like in areas such as barcelona. i'm not that well versed on all the tension that exists within the country. any insight?
  • JakeyG14, on 06/30/2008, -1/+3Pic 14 is really unflattering to Senna who had an amazing tournament lol.
  • JorgeGT, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2Last night here in Valencia was a mess... and I've had today the final exam of materials science... guess the results.
    ***** phase diagrams.
  • Daniel591992, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2It's not Brazilian, it's Portuguese.
  • moomeep, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2very well said, SebHughes. tip o' the hat to the spanish. fully deserved victory. :)
  • athinnes, on 10/01/2009, -0/+2wow someone is apparently not an England fan.
  • sillykalcifer, on 06/30/2008, -0/+2i think you should google it...its "joga"
  • Niubai, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Nope, Argentina will not play the 2009 Confederations Cup. Brasil won the Copa America 2007 (the South America equivalent to the Eurocup), so, it will represent Comenbol at the tourney.
  • justsomeguy987, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1More and larger pictures: http://www.euro2008.uefa.com/photos/index.html
  • noahhoward, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1I'm obligated to root for England but when the inevitable happens I'll be behind Spain 100%
  • indubitably, on 06/30/2008, -1/+2truth. torres would not be denied . he was a man on a mission. COME ON LIVERPOOL!!
  • joewashere, on 06/30/2008, -6/+7After 44 years...finally!

    viva espana!
  • inactive, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1dont hate just because torres tourched germany worse than the bombing of berlin. he made lahm and lehman look like they play for the chicago fire.
  • poidh, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1He's jealous because whilst we were inventing stuff his family were still chucking spears at each other. lol.
  • enkafan, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1I'm surprised it wasn't a link to the Euro 2008 Girls website:
    http://euro2008girls.com/
  • inactive, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1#12 was a phenomenal save.
  • Supersonic1980, on 06/30/2008, -2/+3not really because in the Euro Cup you meet better opponents along the way,rather than coming up against smaller nations like saudi arabia.
  • NCocca, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1thanks, i had no idea
  • retro7, on 06/30/2008, -2/+3That's for sure. But i'm pretty sure it's the hardest continental cup.
  • JakeyG14, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1It shows off his effort, but seeing the ball a good few yards away from his outstretched foot doesn't scream quality (which this guy has in abundance).

    I'll digg ya anyway for agreeing he's class (as with all of the Spaniards this year).
  • henrikakselsen, on 06/30/2008, -2/+3More and bigger pictures: http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/2008/06/19/538654.ht ...
  • zacharytelschow, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Hopefully it won't be at the hand of Croatia, pre-tournament :P
