well we made it to the world cup finals in brasil starts in november

Amarelle and Nico lead Spain to EBSL 2006 title |27/08/2006|

It was clearly a clash between the best two teams in Marseille’s Euro Beach Soccer League Superfinal. Both Portugal and Spain had entered the tournament as the two top seeds, both had come from three impressive wins and both had difference-making talent in superstars Madjer and Amarelle. Difference is the Portuguese still had some other historical obstacle to pass by.

Call it the final match jinx. It may even by mere coincidence, but the fact is that it happened in the 2005 edition of the EBSL and in the inaugural FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in the same year: Portugal shined their way to the decisive encounter and were frustratingly stopped one step away from paradise. Amarelle scored the two first goals of the match and Nico closed it with a pair of his own to lead Spain to the EBSL 2006 title wit a 4-2 victory.

“We have all reasons tocelebrate and feel proud for the serious work that has been done all summer long. We started our season with poor showing in the Euro Beach Soccer Cup in Naples and in the EBSL first stage, in Italy, but we knew we could reach the EBSL Superfinal as well as we have done", said Spanish head coach Joaquín Alosno. “Besides, it is also time to start thinking about the same kind of planning for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.”

Alonso’s Portuguese counterpart José Miguel Mateus, albeit disappointed with another defeat, does not seem to feel as if the series of losses in final matches has anything to do with confidence. “Losing in another final does not affect our, because we know that we have only reached these matches because of how good a team we are. Both of our previous losses (EBSL 2005 and FBSWC 2005) were in the penalty kick shootout, after having played good matches, so I do not think there is nothing to worry about regarding confidence”, he stated.

EBSL Group B Champions Poland remarked their status of surprise of the season as they finished 3rd in the Superfinal after a penalty kick shootout win against Italy. A 2-2 tie through overtime led the two teams to the series of shots that ended with Lele missing the decisive one for the Italians.
