Ballack named [EURO 2008 FINAL SPOILERS]

ballsack's flailing and diving will make luca toni look like the worlds toughest man after spain goes up 2-0

ballack should be out of this game for his theatrics and repeated little 'harmless' fouls with spikes to players ankles deliberately away from the ball.   the one time he actually did* get hit, of course he ran right over to the sideline and got his eye treated. every other time, he's on the ground like a bag of potatoes.  that *feces*stainer dive on the right corner was worthy of at least a 7.5

the torres goal was a beauty.

good job by spain keeping their cool in light of the german theatrics and instigation.  this game easily could have been 3-0 or 4-0  possession was about 50-50 but shots on was about 10-1

*fiddlesticks*offballsack.

OK, a bit of time available to recap.

Germany forgot to show.  Horrible performance.  Lucky they didn't lose 3 or 4-nil.  Lahm gave up on the goal against one of the quickest forwards in the world.  Lehmann committed but couldn't get there and Lahm should have known it.

Midfield was dreadful.

Forwards were lethargic. 

Casillas didn't have to make a save.

Set plays usually resulted in no touch balls airmailed to row zed.

The craziest thing about the whole deal was that Spain played well, Germany played for *feces*e and yet the score remained 1-0. 

Deserved win.  Spain were the class of the tourney from the little I managed to watch.

Congrats.   

Was Team Pasty Grayish Brown disappointed to lose?

Yep - should have been more than 1-0 - Germany only looked to be in the game for a few moments of the match.  Ballack never looked dangerous (unless you include Spaniard ankles) and did nothing to lead his team.  He actually looked like a cheap shot bastage - and a whiner.



And go team fuchsia!
