Spain v Italy [Euro 2012 Final]

[ulizinho]

I hope that Spain will use the last opportunity to come up to the expectations, very disappointing 4 matches of La Roja so far!

Enjoy the game

I think Italy will nick this one.
Spain 0 - 1 Italy (Balotelli)

Thanks a lot for the Russian sopcast stream, my DVB-T free TV just crashed
What do you think, Admin, about Cruyff-Guardiola as successors to van Maarwijk?

A free header there for Ramos, should at least hit the target. Alba again impressive down Spain's left hand side, a good signing for Barcelona.

[ulizinho]

Spain in control, looks great so far!

[ulizinho]

Siiiiilvaaaa!! The early goal I wanted, now we have a match!

[GWolf1]

1-0 Spain, David Silva header, poor marking in the build up from Italy, taking nothing away from Spain.

[GWolf1]

Inviting cross in from the left by substitute Balzaretti, Casillas does enough to hand the ball away in the air to stop Balotelli getting his head on the end of it.

[ulizinho]

I only hope we haven't just watched the sole goal of this match

[GWolf1]

At least Italy are getting a couple of chances now, Pirlo starting to see more of the ball, and Cassano not afraid to shoot from distance.

[GWolf1]

Balotelli not been given time to settle when he gets the ball, always seems to have three players quickly closing him down.

As i type, manages to get a shot in, but goes way over.

[ulizinho]

Joooordiii Albaaaaaa, welcome back at FC Barcelona!!!

[GWolf1]

What a goal, inch perfect pass by Xavi, Alba's lightning pace too quick for Italy's defence, 2-0 Spain.

[GWolf1]

Fully deserved half time lead for Spain. They've worked so hard with and without the ball, second goal was class.

Don't think any of the two will be the new coach of the Dutch team, as it looks like they still want a Dutch coach to let them play the modern football again.

Good game by Spain so far, also a few chances for Italy but where Spain scores Italy fails to do so. Italy has to play different in the second half to make it exciting again

[GWolf1]

Fabregas virtually walked that into the net, interchange of close passing from Spain is too good for Italy to cope with.

[ulizinho]

Great final, a real big match, not only because Spain is leading

[ulizinho]

Pedro on for Silva, now 6+1 Barcelona and 4 Madrid

Yoshi's not happy...
