die Mannschaft und la Furia Roja

yeppers, it's Germany-Spain for the EURO 2008 championship. One guess as to whom I want to win!

I am happy for Spain that they managed to make it to the final of a tournament, but I do not in the least want them to win. Michael Ballack is the perennial tournament bridesmaid - Champions League finals with Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea, runner-up in the 2002 World Cup - and he deserves a trophy. He will, however, be a groom sometime in the next two weeks when he marries his longtime girlfriend (and the mother of his three sons) Simone Lambe. And besides wanting him to finally win something, I like him ;)
