Spain won their first major title in 44 years
Spain narrowly beat Germany 1-0 in the final of the 2008 European Championship in Vienna on Sunday to claim their first major title in 44 years.
Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game
Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game in the 33rd minute, pouncing on a rebound after Lukas Podolski had hit the post. Germany had their chances to equalize, but they were unable to find a way past Spain's resolute defense.
The victory was a fitting reward for Spain's impressive performances throughout the tournament. They played with a style and swagger that belied their lack of experience at major finals, and they were deserved winners on the night.
Spain's victory is a major boost for the country
Spain's victory is a major boost for the country. It is the first time that Spain have won a major title since the 1964 European Championship, and it is a sign that the country's football is on the up.
The victory is also a testament to the work of Spain coach Luis Aragones. Aragones has been in charge of the team for four years, and he has overseen a period of great success. He has instilled a winning mentality in the team, and he has helped to develop some of the most exciting young players in the world.
Spain's victory is a warning to the rest of the world
Spain's victory is a warning to the rest of the world. They are a team with a lot of talent and potential, and they are now one of the favorites for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
If Spain can continue to play with the same style and confidence that they showed in the European Championship, they will be a force to be reckoned with in South Africa.
