You do Germany proud by being so generous in offering Spain warm congratulations, Chrissi.
Congratulations to both Spain and Germany, say I - the championship this time around was of extremely high quality with many outstanding teams and matches, and getting to the finals was a huge feat by both teams!
Personally I was rather thrilled that Turkey got all the way to the semi-finals. I'd much rather have people jumping for joy over their country's European soccer feats than jumping blindly at the order of some benighted imam or mullah.
I'm not particularly interested in soccer myself, though I do watch matches now and then in the European and World cup. Nevertheless it's impossible to see something like this and not be amazed and overwhelmed at what a huge, huge event this is.... so many people gearing up for the final, dressing up, extreme anticipation building.... there was talk on German TV of a whole "party mile" by Brandenburger Tor. And both the Spanish King and Mrs. Merkel attending the game in person!
