I think that scoring two goals and leading your team (Italy) on to the final match (way farther than what everybody imagined at the beginning) is a reasonable motive to take off your shirt, honestly.

Now, that being said, I doubt Balotelli is a good striker. All that I was hearing from Man City was about his coach (Mancini) wanting him out the team. I know that it was because of his deeds, but you wouldn't really want a great player to leave your team. What has he done now? He has scored some goals, mostly to some minor (no offence intended) national teams. To me it looks like an average-to-high striker, but not a top one.

Nevertheless, I still think that Italy has a fair chance of winning the tournament. Statistically, it is quite likely. Plus, it's Italy. Let's all see tomorrow how it ends!

I just found this, and I can't stop laughing

 

Spain 2-0...

but i cant watch the game later, i have to go to work..

 

Italy 2-0 if you ask me. (I'm not a nepotist, I swear!) (yes, I am)

 

I think Italy will win but more importantly I hope for an entertaining game.

Due to work, I'm in Rome today, if Italy win I should give up on getting any sleep as they'll be honking horns all night long...

 

Ok, 7.5 points for you and 2.5 for me...

That's interesting, but I think this time it won't work that way...

Agree...

I think that the score will be 1-1 and the champion will be decided in the extra time or even after the penalty shoot-out...

 

For decent, watchable football..please allow Italy to win!Don't let Spain bore their way to the Champs [sealed]

 

7.5 + miichan for me and 2.5 for you.

wow thank you [clap]

======

I'm going to choose Spain as my favorite in this final. Hehehe, it's a few hours more until the game started And JKT48 is going to have their performance in the closing at Indonesia as well.

 

Spain is good. But It is good to share the championship...
So if they win, they will make it hattrick, isn't it?

@stankovic
waw...
u must be working hardly to search our streaming channel for RCTI ...

Yes, I agree with you...
The way they keep the ball is bored....
They want to minimaze the "open" play, so they will not concede any goals

 

That's why I'm favoriting them for this tournament lol

The internet is my friend. Go figure it out

 

So, Espana/Spain is The winner....
I think they could play amazing football because of tactical error from Cesar Prandelli, Italy Coach.
4-0, I think should not be in the final. Because almost people want to watch competitive football.
And this match is a bit disappointing me.

But congrats to Spain [party] as the holder winner.

 

Congrats espana don't be sad italy, you're still one of the best team ever , but I bit disappointed, because I spent all of my monthly money for betting you, so this month I don't have money at all

 

Finally Spain decided to play! Just a shame Italy didn't give a good showing of themselves though [wonder] Credit where it is due, they did turn up and play in the final..was afraid it was gonna be like the previous game.

 

Yeah, was surprisingly good.

I love the BBC commentators muck up at the end "those guys are having unbelievable sex, um, success".

And also all the Spanish player's kids coming on pitch at the end. So cute!

Strange how the golden boot is decided on the least number of minutes spent playing...

 

^Yeah and torres have similar record with mario gomez, 3 goal and 1 assist, but I think torres play really good last night, and he is not too selfish to pass the ball to juan mata

 

im so happy, while working, the sky suddenly filled with fireworks..

no need to ask the others who won the game... [party] [party] [party]

just like Mariko-sama said, "Bring it on Bitches,you aint taking my position easily..."

 

Yay, Spain did it, even better than my goal score prediction
Italy actually did great from what I saw. They got a lot of chances to strike into Cassillas goalpost. Though the way Spain played were just invunerable to be stopped.

 

Trust me, it was awkward being in an italian bar last night, they were so hyped up for the match... The early goal wasn't so bad but as the game went on... The bar was over half empty by the time the third and fourth goals went in.

Losing in a final is bad enough, but to be beaten 4-0?

 

Congratulation for Spain & karles48 [party] they did a historical match against Italy & they became the first National team to keep their Euro title.
I think Germany drained all of Italy's power.
