sooo close again!! wow... I'm kind of shooting for an equalizer just to make things interesting.

man, the leprechaun announcer is hilarious. Still, abc hired crappy announcers. "must hire announcers w/ accents.."

Yeah, I checked out ABC briefly, but the feed we have up here in Canada is much, much better.

KT

Who broadcasts/comments up there?

I think we had John Helm for the final. They are all BBC feeds, so the commentating is pretty damn good most of the time.

ya, Spain's defense was pretty damn good, and very consistent counter attacks. Even though germany had more possession, Spain's possessions seemed more worthwhile. Congrats to Spain.

Yay! Now does this mean Pau Gasol will be very happy and just rip it up next year in the NBA? please?

I don't think its a dive when someone climbs over your back. Smart defending shielding the ball.

Except he fell the other way..w/e it's over!

 

[ElFenix]

two complaints:

why haven't the euros figured out how to mic the field (or is that an abc problem?)

i still hate how only the ref knows how much time is left

 

[Ballatician]

Think there are enough photographers surrounding them?

 

[KeithTalent]

Golden boot for Villa!

Man of the match for Torres? Should be.

What an awesome game!!! WOW, Im so glad Spain won, they totally deserved it, they should have won by more than 1-0... their counter attacks were deadly, germany was very lucky not to get squashed

You're right, he did lean back when he felt contact but yea it's over!

haha ya. The counters were so consistent. I enjoyed the game.
Man, at least I like the camera work. Plenty of coverage of nice european girls in the stands.

QFT!

 

[hdeck]

germany is just lucky they didn't get beat by 2 or 3 more goals. spain dominated that match.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

hahahaha roflmao @ the TV deal for the spainards. That's a great deal for people who bought those hdtv's.

"Get half of your money back if Spain wins when you buy our TV's!"

Stoppage time is displayed on the sidelines by the officials, then the commentators announce it, and the network should display it as a graphic.

Mic'ing up the pitch wouldn't be a good idea given all the language that flies around

Did you see that girl with the I :heart: Spain shirt? :heart:

yup. Need more of her now. hehe, in Korea, didn't a couple of hot girls get like modelling and record deals after being found by TV cameras while in the stands?

 

[Turkish]

Haha, Germany's luck must have run out. Unlike the semifinal, luck wasn't on their side, and they lost.

Spainish bulls have dominated the submissive Germans

que viva espana! :heart:

 

[Bucks]

Torres is tooo good
