Euro 2008 Winners Spain!
My Comp About There Brilliant Win.
Football’s new European Champions speak Spanish. The victorious Spain team also talks a different language on the field and the rest of Europe have to start learning it quickly.
Spain beat three-time champion Germany 1-0 in Vienna on Sunday but a scoreline like 3-0 would have been more accurate as the team, coached by 69-year-old Luis Aragones, showed how the game should be played.
Throughout the tournament, Spain used a simple, close-passing style to cut through defences and create top quality goals. They also were the masters of the counterattack
The tactics drew many admirers, including former Scotland coach Andy Roxburgh whose country has always underachieved in international level, like Spain which last won the European Championship in 1964.
Now head of UEFA’s technical committee, Roxburgh has been examining tactics and skill levels for several years and has watched Spain’s emergence. He believes that there is more to come after this European success.

Big-game flops no more, Spain won the European Championship 1-0 over Germany on Sunday for its first major title in 44 years.
Fernando Torres scored in the 33rd minute and the Spaniards never backed down against such a formidable opponent. Their last significant title came in the 1964 Euros at home.
In beating a team that makes a habit of appearing in championship finals, the Spaniards put to rest a reputation for underachieving. Always loaded with talented players, Spain has spent four decades falling short of expectations.
That all changed at these Euros, where the Spaniards swept their first-round games, eliminated World Cup champion Italy in a penalty-kicks shootout in the quarterfinals, then routed Russia 3-0 in the semifinals.
Against the highly accomplished Germans, they weren’t intimidated. They got the one goal they needed — from a slumping striker, no less — and set off chants of “ES-PANA,” and “Ole, Ole Ole” at the final whistle.

This clip is dedicated to Walter and Marianne Kaiser from Switzerland. They were World and European Professional Latin-American Champions and triple Professional Blackpool winners. In fact they were the first ever Professional Latin-American Winners in Blackpool (in 1962 and 1963, both years held as a tournament) and the first ever Open British Professional Latin-American Champions in Blackpool (1964).
The clip shows the Paso Doble of the British Professional Latin-American Championship held in Blackpool on 29th May 1962. A quotation from the book “Blackpool my Blackpool” by Kit Hallewell: “The final event on Tuesday evening was the new British Professional Latin-American Tournament, attracting thirteen entries for its first year, one of whom arrived just too late to dance. The contest was over only three dances, Cha Cha Cha, Samba, and Paso Doble. If this seems a somewhat peculiar choice of dances, it must be remembered that the great Rumba controversy was still raging. Winners were Walter Kaiser and his wife Marianne from Switzerland, who captivated the crowd, and drew the comment from Sydney Francis, “very sound.” The final result:
1st Walter Kaiser - Mrs. Marianne Kaiser, Switzerland
2nd Ron Smith - Miss Jill Stephens, England
3rd Eric Lashbrooke - Miss Norma Graves, England
4th Peter Eggleton - Miss Brenda Winslade, England

This video clip shows most of Walter and Marianne Kaiser from Switzerland. They were the most successful Swiss competitive dancers ever. From 1961 until 1965 they were finalists in 5 European and 7 World Professional Championships. They were World and European Professional Latin-American Champions in 1964 and retired undefeated in 1965 (the partnership split).
The clip shows a part of a major tournament held in Berlin from 31st August until 3rd September 1961 (Professional Standard, Latin-American and twice a Professional 9 Dance Competition). In the waltz the couple passing by Walter and Marianne Kaiser are Dennis Udell and Joyce Brampton from England (on the left hand side). In the tango piece, later one can catch a glimpse of Bill and Bobbie Irvine (couple No. 2, blue dress). In the quickstep all couples can be seen for a short while

Dražen Petrović (October 22, 1964 — June 7, 1993) was a Croatian basketball player. A tireless shooter and prolific scorer, Petrović is arguably the most celebrated basketball player ever to emerge from Europe. He is considered the crucial part of the vanguard to the present-day mass influx of European players into the NBA.
At the age of thirteen Dražen started playing in the youth selections of the local BC Šibenka; at the age of fifteen he had already made the first team, just as Šibenka earned a place in the national first division. With young Petrović as the star of the team, Šibenka reached the final of the Radivoj Korać Cup twice (1982 and 1983), losing to CSP Limoges both times. In 1983 the 18 year-old Petrović hit two free throws for Šibenka’s victory over BC Bosna Sarajevo in the final playoff game of the Yugoslavian club championship, but the title was taken away from Šibenka the next day by the national basketball federation and awarded to Bosna shortly after, with irregularities in refereeing cited as the reason.
In his many statements prior to arriving in Portland, Petrović voiced lack of playing time as the only possible obstacle to his success in the NBA; in his first season with the Blazers, those concerns were realized. With Portland’s starting backcourt of Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter already established, the reigning European Player of the Year was reduced to playing 12 minutes per game - minutes collected largely in “garbage time” - allowing him a mere 7.4 points per game. The beginning of the 1990-1991 season brought Petrović’s frustration to a climax, as his playing time dropped to 7 minutes a game. At his insistence, 38 games into the season (in 20 of which Petrović didn’t see any playing time), a three-way trade with the Denver Nuggets sent him to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for a first-round pick in the following draft.
On January 23, 1991, Petrović became a member of the New Jersey Nets. Petrović was now a part of a team that featured two of the best young prospects in the league, Kenny Anderson and Derrick Coleman, but a team that hadn’t reached the playoffs since 1986. Determined to not let the Portland episode repeat, he immediately responded to the increased playing time (20.5 minutes per game), holding a scoring average of 12.6 points per game in 43 games with the Nets. His first complete season with the Nets was truly stellar: not missing a single game, Petro, as the Americans had dubbed him, averaged 20.6 points in 36.9 minutes on the floor, nearly leading all NBA guards in field goal percentage (51%); he established himself as the team leader and was named team MVP. More significantly, his success translated into team success, as the Nets recorded 14 more wins than the season before and made the playoffs. For his encore, in 1992-1993 season Petrović increased his scoring average (22.3, 11th best that season) and repeated the excellent three-point field goal percentage from the previous season (45%), again nearly leading all guards in field goal percentage (52%). American media honored him with a selection to the All-NBA 3rd Team. However, a failure to receive an invitation to the 1993 All-Star game came as a great disappointment to Petrović; among the top 13 scorers in the NBA that season, he was the only one not invited.
