I think your right Chewie as the Le Coq Sportif badge seemed to be taped over.
UEFA 'B' Licence Goalkeeper Coach
Spain's third-choice goalkeeper Andres Palop wore the shirt of his historic predecessor Luis Maria Arconada. It was a mistake by Arconada against Michel Platini's France that played a part in Spain's defeat in the final of Euro 1984.

Thanks for the info Jimmy, i was wondering why he was wearing that old shirt.
Does anyone know why Ramos had that green/white flag and he had on a t-shirt with
someone's pic on it.
Sorry Mate, I should have posted the whole story ....
Defender Sergio Ramos wore a flag of his native Andalusia on his back, first, and then a T-shirt with the photograph of former team-mate Antonio Puerta, who died in August after suffering from heart failure on the pitch during a game with his club, Sevilla.
Dida01: Dropkick: gkpaul: I was happy to lose the picture and especially the sound as I didnt have to listen to Mark Lawrensen. He seems to critisize every move Lehman makes, Lehman did well to turn the free kick over, and had adopted a positive starting position I reckon. Also he did well to push away a corner, and they critised that. He fielded a couple of shots well. Probably could of done better on first goal, but not much chance from that range, second goal something wasnt right agree there. Think hes performing ok on the whole, he shanked a goal kick first half which I apprecaited Spain's 1st goal has just gone in and Mark Lawrenson has just said that Lehmann was in no mans land.....I dont think so somehow. It was a good finish that was chipped over him....Lehmann couldnt of done much more

haha he cant win. Personally again I think he played well, was probably Germany's best player, and a few of the lower shots stuck like glue this time. I feel hes not had a bad tournament at all, and did himself credit, not a bad way to go out.
-yep also Casillas was great, didnt have to make many stops, but felt he was attacking crosses well, great keeper. Like the look of the Reebox gloves but have a feeling they will be £50+
Old US Keeper:Did anyone else in the USA NOT see the final because of no signal from ABC???!!!! My signal went out at 9:45am at the 45' of the first half of the Galaxy/DC United match and did not return until a half hour AFTER the Euro Final was over!!!! To say I am honked off is a major understatement! DirecTV says the fault was with ABC, not on their end.
My Direct TV worked just fine in CO but my bro in phoenix had to go to a bar to watch the game (he has direct tv too).
It was nice to see Casillas lift the trophy, he had a great tournament and final game, i think he controled his area very well and he needed to against a team that is so good in the air and on set pieces. I also thought Lehman was good in the game too, at least he was much improved over his performance against turkey.
