German fans welcome home Herr Ballack and co.
From this video, anyone would think that Germany had won the tournament – and from the way this ceremony looks, perhaps the organisers predicted as much.
Fair play to the German fans for giving such a warm wilkommen home to their team, who came so close to winning Euro 2008 – although with the benefit of hindsight, any team boasting a central-defensive partnership of Metzelder and Mertesacker never stood a chance.
