It's the final of yet another major international tournament!! It's the Euro 2008 final, going to be held in Vienna, Switzerland, and it's going to be on the tele in the wee hours of Monday morning, a school day. Argh... Still gonna watch though, check scripts nia. Haha... UEFA are apparently upsizing the Henri Delaunay Trophy, or better known as the EURO2008 Cup that I hope Spain will lift.
So I gotta agree that this trophy is a dwarf compared to the UEFA Champions League trophy, or the UEFA Cup trophy, which I think is massive in size, and the captain of the Russian club and UEFA Cup triumphants Zenit St. Petersburg must have dreaded lifting that trophy last May. It also can't compare to the glamourous looks of the golden-coloured and -coated trophy, so this really looks dull. Revamp the whole damn thing! Well, on the other hand, I don't think Carles Puyol nor Michael Ballack would mind lifting it, would they?

This hotair balloon shaped as the Euro 2008 trophy looks kinda cool, I think they should give this balloon instead of the silver trophy next time. Maybe to the country with the best fans? Ahh what crap.

If Spain win, their national FA will receive a total prize money of €23 million for their national team's one month work, but of course there will be more in terms of sponsorship deals? I don't know, but they do have to pay their Spanish players for playing in the Championships. If Germany win, they will receive a prize money of €22 million, a million less. Whichever team does lose, they'll just lose €3 million off their potential total prize money. Finance, business... It should not be too involved in football.

The most realistic player that could win the top scorer of the tournament award is Spain's David Villa, but he is out of the finals, and that could pave the way for German Lukas Podolski, on three, to score two goals, that will surely allow him to win that award, and most likely win Germany the cup. Other Germans on two are Michael Ballack, Miroslav Klose and Bastian Schweisteinger, so if either of those three get an hat-trick, they'll be the clearcut top goalscorer. Spain still has some hope of still obtaining that trophy should Villa not win it, as they have supersub Dani Guiza on the two goals mark, and should he start in place of Villa, he might grab a couple to equal or better his compatriot. Interesting stuff...

Spain's probable team line-up: iker Casillas; sergio Ramos, carles Puyol, carlos Marchena, joan Capdevilla; marcos Senna, andreas Iniesta, Xavi hernandez, david Silva, cesc Fabregas; fernando Torres.

Germany's probable team line-up: jens Lehmann; arne Fredrich, per Mertesacker, christoph Metzelder, philip Lahm; torsten Frings, thomas Hitzelsberger; bastian Schweinsteiger, michael Ballack, lukas Podolski; miroslav Klose.

So let the best team win!

Bye~!
