*'''Image licensing''' is satisfactory. The only issue I see is using a table to enclose a single image in statistics section, which forces a specific pixel width: should not be done "Except with very good reason" according to MOS.

*:Thanks {{ping|Buidhe}}. I have switched that image to just be a thumb. It was an oversight on my part, as originally there was a two-image gallery there, but I moved one of them up to the infobox. Cheers — [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 13:24, 9 August 2021 (UTC) |

'''Comment''' My first impression on reading through is that as a description of events that evening the article does a good job. However, the article could do more in terms of putting the match in a wider context. Prior to this match Spain were perennial underachievers who hadn't won a tournament in 44 years. What were the expectations going into the match? My memory is that they were tournament favourites, were they? How many fans travelled from the respective countries? What was the mood in each country? The tournament was the first triumph of the "tiki-taka" style that would dominate at both international and club level for the next few years. The term "tiki-taka" doesn't appear once. [[User:Oldelpaso|Oldelpaso]] ([[User talk:Oldelpaso|talk]]) 15:17, 9 August 2021 (UTC) |

This article is about the final of Euro 2008, that year's edition of Europe's premier association football (soccer) competition for national teams. The finalists were Germany and Spain, with the latter winning 1–0 to record the first of three consecutive major competition wins, including wins in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final and the UEFA Euro 2012 Final. I am working on this article jointly with User:The Rambling Man, and this is thus a co-nomination. Looking forward to any reviews, and we will endeavour to respond to all points made in a prompt fashion. — Amakuru (talk) 10:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
