Last night, the Spaniard armada under Louis Aragone, an inspirationnal man with magical wards had assembled his much superstars army again to fight off the men of Guus Hiddink, hailed for his absolutely fantastic tactical arragement and football play which prove effective against Greece, Sweden and Netherlands. His team was the team to beat last night.
Rain started to pour with lightning and thunder drumming the sky of Vienna, a venue also set for the Final. First half ran dry as both teams been couscious but still provide some good football. No scores yet. But the Spaniards are dominating.
Second half came the goals of the match. Xavi Hernandez opened the scoreline with a brilliant play, 1-0 in the 50th minute. 23 minutes later, substitute Daniel Guiza fired past Igor Akinfeev while David Silva sealed the victory en route to final with a brilliant drill to make it 3 up in the 82th minute. 3-0 for Spain which had 52 to 48 percent of ball possession over the Russian. Spain had 18 (11 on target) of shots to Russia's 6 (only 1 on target). Spain was a dorminant and strong force last night. No doubt at the first 20 minutes, I envisioned a Final of Germany and Spain, both are favourites in the tournament. Looks like I'm right with my prediction; one of the past winners will win it again!!
Final this Sunday will see Germany, a triple champions in 1972, 1980 and 1996 will face off Spain a former champion in 1984 in a sure exciting match at Vienna. Let us crossed our fingers hoping whoever win the Delauney Trophy will still entertain us with a much fascinating game.
NANG IT!!
