Tension mounts as Germany take on Spain in the Euro 2008 finals at Ernst Happel Stadion, Vienna.
According to German Coach Joachim Loew “Germans know only to Win” and they are pretty confident of a win. Germans have seen enough finals and have the better edge than Spain. They would be looking forward for their fourth Euro Cup Win. Spain on the other hand will be looking forward to win a title after a gap of 44 years.
Injury to Ballack may worry the Germans and its not certain whether he would be playing in the finals.
Just hours and we would know who will be crowned the champions of Europe. I am looking forward to an exciting match.
