@Barozi, please stop this redundant discussion. Things like these happen in every other game.

Did you really want a red card for Silva and a possible "cheap win" for Germany? What about Lehmann then, who in one scene touched the ball outside the penalty area and would have deserved a red card, as well. It's called "ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit" (is this "poetic justice" in English?).

The Spanish team deserved the title. The final was a boring game, but this was not the Spanish team's fault. It was the German team who didn't know what to do to win this game. The German team (like the Russian one in semi-final) did not have the mental & physical strength nor the playing abilities to beat this great Spanish team.

Enjoy the fact that the German team reached the final. It was quite an accomplishment imo and the best this team could achieve.
