Well, last Wednesday night (July 14) was a pretty special day, as we headed down to see David Beckham be interviewed by the world.  Seeing him respond to questions from Answers contributors from around the world was simply amazing.

He came across as a really genuine guy, speaking openly about low points in his life, how he met and first kissed Victoria and what their  “date nights” are like.  Despite his global susperstar status, his love for football came across repeatedly.

We could probably go on at length about what it was like to be part of this global spectacle but honestly, you just need to watch the video :

To be frank, I’m not a football fan. But even so, I’m familiar with the chants of “Olé, olé!”. And early this morning there was reason to shout Olé! if you’re a supporter of Spain. How many of you stayed up early this morning to catch the UEFA Euro 2008 finals of Spain versus Germany?

It has been more than 4 decades since Spain won the championship, and a special celebration was in place when Fernando Torres scored in the 33rd minute which led to its 1-0 victory over Germany at the Ernst Happel Stadium early this morning.

You can always count on Germany appearing in the championship finals, and historically they have won 3 Euros and 3 World Cups, but yet they couldn’t keep up in this round. Spain, on the other hand, has never made into a World Cup final and was in 2 other Euro finals (one of which they won in 1964).

Germany’s Joachim Loew was quoted saying “Spain played very well during the whole tournament. and they were technically excellent. They fully deserve victory.” Luka M asked “Did Spain deserve to win Euro 2008?“, what do you think? And who do you think was the best player during the Euro 2008 final?
