Well the European championship final is finally here. I dont think anybody is all that suprised to see Germany in the final. As they always have somthing left in the tank and lets face it, its the Germans u can never write them off. As for Spain they are deserved euro finalists After some fantastic displays of football. I though Russia might slip them up after the way russia beat Holland. But Spain showed true class and form to thrash Russia 3-0.

Well were now here in the European championship finals 2008. Germany v’s Spain. Should be a great match, but the question on everyones lips is who will lift the trophy ?. Spain are favourites but Germany are never really the underdogs as there too consistent and know exactly what it takes to win tournaments like this.. Should be a dam good match either way.. My money and heart tells me Spain will win. But a nagging doubt says Germany.

I guess only time will tell, check out the latest uk football prices below:

Who would have thought that following a 4-1 mauling in their opening group match against Spain, Russia would again stand between Aragones’ side and a European Championship final.

The inexperienced Russians are learning fast under journeyman Hiddink and on the pitch, the return of Arshavin has transformed them into a potent attacking force good enough to take Holland apart.

Arshavin has clearly benefited from Dutch influence, Dick Advokaat is his coach at Zenit St Petersburg who Rangers fans will remember well from their UEFA Cup final defeat, the Russian’s assist led to the first goal.

There will surely be a stampede of top clubs trying to secure the Russian player’s services for next season and he is 8/1 to open the scoring against Spain.

Spain are arguably the neutral’s favourite having survived penalties against Italy and will surely fancy their chances against Hiddink’s charges once more.

Fans will be hoping this is a more open game favouring the attacking instincts of both sides. Spain will be looking to Villa, Torres and Fabregas in particular for the invention needed to break Russian hearts and get them to the Final.

Spain are 11/10 to progress in 90 minutes. Hiddink’s men are 13/5. Who’s your money on?

Well were in to the latter stages of Euro 2008 football championships. And i dont think anyone predicted Turkey to still be here. but have they got what it takes to take on the might of the Germans. Im not so sure. I think at 7/1 and 15/2 for Turkey to win just shows how much Germany are the favourites in this match. Could be worth a cheeky £5 on Turkey. After all they wasnt supposed to get this far. Can they go one step futher only time will tell.. at 7:45pm UK time.

I wonder who will be in this years Euro 2008 Football Final !
