Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger has tipped Germany to beat Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2008 final in Vienna.

In an interview with reporters on Tuesday he said that Germany had the mental toughness that no other team at Euro 2008 had.

He added that Germany also had the most consistent player in the tournament, Chelsea’s midfielder Michael Ballack of Chelsea.

He went on to say that Ballack was the main source of inspiration to the team and along with Lukas Podolski who was having an unbelievable tournament, these two formed a formidable partnership and difficult for other teams to overcome.

Wenger also rated Russia’s twenty seven year old Andrei Arshavin a great prospect after having lifted the Russian side after his suspension.

He could not see Germany’s main rival for top honours Spain winning as they had forgotten how to win anything big and it was thirty years since the Spanish won something significant.

TalentScout,
You've got to be the biggest ass-hole that ever posted comments on this blog. But you are a funny ass-hole, so you're forgiven, this time. And I hope you're right about the Germany-Russia final, because your predictions usually suck !!!!

You have to win it first .
This site badly needs an admin. Too much spam and off-topics lately. No wonder the number of comments is diminishing progressively. Sponsors must be getting annoyed too.
