Well at the start of the tournament I think I was right to say Spain didn't seem hungry for it, but by the end of it, wow.

Fair play to Spain but Italy were down to 10 men most of second half.

Italy had no chance even with 11 men let alone 10. I think even if Spain had gone down to 10 men they would have still looked the more threatening team.

Found it quite funny before the third goal, Spain were passing it around the back and the commentator said, "and this is why people have been calling Spain boring and I have to say I agree with them", then 15 seconds later they break due to Italy pressing forwards trying to get the ball and Torres scores.

Boring or not it works.

Spain couldn't have been that boring. My Mum sat and watched the whole game from start to finish. That has never happened before. Ever. When my Dad commented on "only 15 mins" being left she said "it's actually quite exciting, I'm enjoying it". I replied, "you wouldn't say that if it was England" :lol:

True but it wouldn't have ended by that score if they had 11 on.

I reckon Spain probably would have got a third even if Italy had 11 men. I think the fourth just came about due the Italians dropping their heads as they knew it was well and truly over.

Yeah probably they did play pretty fancy football most of the game although
I thought the 3rd and 4th goals were harsh as fuck especially with Torres being subbed on and scoring then
Mata 5 minutes later doing the exact same thing. Either way it's over and they are still the team to beat.

Both the third and fourth goals were great.

Great through-balls. The finish from Torres was brilliant, then for the fourth his unselfish knock to Mata without even looking was brilliant. I know people like to hate on him for not bashing in the goals since moving to Chelsea but he has still won the FA Cup, Champions League, Euro 2012 and the Golden Boot at Euro 2012 in one season despite him being "an awful waste of money".
