I'd be happy with either team winning, as long as the final has scoring and some brilliant play.Comment

The way they played when he went off, I don't think it matters.

I've got both teams in the office sweepstake, although I was hoping for a Turkey-Russia final.
So, may the best team win. But fuck Aragones.Comment

"Spanish" Tony? It was "Swiss" Tony on the Fast Show, wasn't it? Or am I missing some other glaringly obvious cultural reference?Comment

I think a Spanish Tony ran drugs for Keith Richard in the 60s and/or 70s, though that's not what I had in mind.Comment

These two haven't played each other as often as one would have expected in major competitions have they? Off the top of my head I can only remember the match in that weird three-team group stage of the 1982 WC.Comment

That said, Exeter prevailed against the forces of evil this season for a long overdue and utterly deserved good season so maybe Spain can do it...Comment

I see that AB's list describes West Germany matches as German. Is this standard?Comment

THE FINAL: Germany v Spain
Yeah, it's the same team. In Germany they didn't even call the team 'West Germany'.Comment

Their last competetive meeting was in the group stages of the 1994 World Cup. The match finished 1-1.Comment

I for one will be happy to be ruled by our cheap-football-charging, terraced-stadium-building supporter-owning German overloads.Comment

I like the upside down exclamation and question marks. They lend an air of overexcitement or utter confusion.Comment

I'm hoping for a Spain win and an Aragones heart attack.Comment

THE FINAL: Germany v Spain
In 1974, that wanker Aragones was a member of the Atletico Madrid team who kicked and hacked and spat and punched Celtic out of the European Cup semi-finals (no fewer than four of them were sent off at Celtic Park).
The final was at Hampden Park against Bayern Munich and, after 114 goalless minutes, Aragones scored with a free-kick. Five more minutes ticked by. The repulsive hatchet-men of Atletico were about to be champions of Europe.
Then the great Georg Schwarzenbeck, who I will buy a beer if I ever meet him, sent a 40-yard daisy-cutter skidding along the grass and beyond the despairing reach of Pepe Reina's dad. The referee blew the final whistle a couple of moments afterwards.
There was a replay a few days later, and Atletico lost 4-0.
It would be nice if Aragones could once again be kicked savagely hard in the balls by Fate on Sunday.Comment
