The European Championship

[southpaw83]

Still Spain for me Italy just played their cup final.

Spain are not champions for nothing.

Spain are still the team to beat, but I have a feeling we'll sneak it

[southpaw83]

Yeah, but I'd still get shut of him. Taken us (Maca - please see ) as far as he can.

My mate just said the exact same thing, he wants Keith Andrews away too

That's right! That's the old fella's and my son's middle name.

Looking at Pirlo who must be in his latter years and a striker in Ballotelli tells me if England can find a midfielder with his class we wont be that far away with the right guidance.
Pirlo has been the best player in the tounament we just need to find one like him,another Gascoinge.

Looks like it could be a cracking game I hope it is. I think Spain will be too strong and have looked the best team in the tournament from day one.

not for me Italian's looked a better team against Spain in the group match and have grown in the tournament.

Spain haven't looked the same as they were in SA, Portugal played well against them the other night. Saying that it's a final anything can happen hope for an entertaining game. The Italians certainly turned up tonight hoping for more of the same.

I'd start at Andrews & Wheelan. Then I'd go onto St Ledger, Ward and... Keane. Get the youngsters in now.

Trap is to stubborn, to rigid. He has his favourites like all managers, but he just doesn't consider others.

Well last game tonight lads I've done 2-0 to Spain and fabregas first goal.
Hope it's a good game and not a defensive bore by Italy.

Reading all the posts about betting then watching the match makes me think Italy bet on Spain to win. Italy couldn't handle the speed of Spain's passes. Made them look old. The only good thing Italy is doing is donating their wages to charity.

Sublime performance by the Spanish, rightful champions of Europe, humble in victory, the Italian's gracious in defeat.

The tournament as whole was quite good after all the pre-tournament issues.
