But they're also known to choke...
Germans are the kings at penalties, they have the best penalty record in the world. 83% record

Your only a choker until you win. Eventually they are going to win arent they, so now is as good as time as ever.

As for penalties, tbh those things are always 90% luck 10% skill.

But spain's keeper is the best in the world so u have to factor that in.

go spain! - because Germany would definitely get favouritism since they're playing before their own crowd and the umpires would favor them

Damn Fernando Torres tore Germany's defence apart. I wanted Germany to win though. Congragulations to Spain the winners of the European Chamionships 2008. Well at least I'm not a sore loser.

as much as i wanted germany to win Spain dominated for all but about 20 mins in that match - Germany never posed any real threat and Spain are deserved Champions - Well done Spain....

It does keep germany's record for Euro finals going -
