Yep

Spain are the new Brazil only better. Three major tournaments in a row speaks for itself.

Too bad England are a pile of crap.

Congratulation to Spain! An excellent run for my beloved Azzurri but ultimately ran out of gas and came up against the best team in the world. As a soccer fan, Spain plays some stunning football and deserves the accolades bestowed upon them. Well-deserved vistory. As for Italy, any tournament where you beat both England and Germany is always a memorable one!

was kinda rooting for italy as the underdogs but they were no match for the ever masterful spaniards who finally found their goal scoring touch.

can anyone remember the time, just a few years ago now, where the Sangre y Oro jersey was feared by no team? even when they had great players they could never gel and were expected not to fulfil their potential... it lasted for decades...

i can't. viva espana.

Neither, because they won't deliver to me.

A sad game for me to watch but kudos to Spain. While that passing game they play is an impressive display of skill and discipline I found it a bit tedious. I just hope every other team doesn't adopt that style.

Today I just saw a video where Spain's goalie calls for a ref's attention. The score is 4-0 and he asks the ref to end the game out of respect to Italy. Very classy.

On a positive note. I've discovered a fantastic Garnacha and have learned to make a mean gazpacho.

Congratulations Spain.
