Worthy Winners

Now I accept that Spain was the adopted team for this web site, however even the most one eyed supporters would agree that they were worthy winners and deserved to be crowned Champions of Europe.

The fact that Torres scored a most wonderful goal was icing on the cake. He has really elevated himself to the point of being considered amongst the best strikers in the world.

Throughout the whole tournament, Spain were quite outstanding, winning every game, which included putting 7 goals past a good looking Russian side. The string of wins was made even better by knocking out the current World Champions Italy, which really got people focused and agreeing how good this Spanish side is.

Besides Torres we had Alonso who played some really outstanding footballs, this was particularly highlighted when in the final he came on and replaced a tiring Fabregas, he then shored up the midfield and played a major role in ensuring Germany never got into the game.

Got to honest, really can not understand why Raffa appears to be so keen on moving Alonso out to bring Barry in?

While Barry is a very good player, not sure if he is in the same class as Alonso. Me, personally like to see Alonso stay and get Raffa to look another striker, assuming that Crouch goes to ???????????? any number of clubs that seemed to be interested in him.
