All those children there. Lovely!

SPAIN 2022!

[Majine]

Cute kids.

 

[Kurtofan]

Torres with the golden boot, no justice.

 

[Azzurri]

Not a good final. Italy defense just died.

They just gave up

 

[Andrefpvs]

It's awwwwwwwwww time here in my house.

 

[duckroll]

It's babyland!

 

[miserable]

Congrats to Spain!

Somebody gif Torres with the children

 

[Dark Schala]

Overall, I thought this was a fun tournament, the group stage in particular, and this was a pretty good final to top it all off. Of course the Netherlands playing its worst tournament ever put a bit of a damper on the whole thing, but aside from that, most matches were great fun to watch.

Yes, the group stage was really great this EC. Even brought forth some dark horses like Russia (until their final match). At least you got some sort of variety of play (save for Group D, which was simply irritatingly boring to watch).

Bring on the Olympics.

 

[Tea and Toast]

She's very good in possession.

 

[GorillaJu]

Thanks for stinking it up Italy.. sigh

Umm.. What? They played quite well until luck had just completely drained them. They were undone by brilliance. "Stinking it up?" ignorant.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Torres' kids are beyond adorable.

 

[Charles]

Wow, the Spainards were content to hold on to the ball until Torres came on. Then he took advantage of the ten men and three of the four defenders playing with cramps to score a goal and set up another one.

Good job Dick clark.

 

[bud]

that was one cute kid.

 

[paperboywriter]

congrats spain-gaf. awesome team you got there. glad germany wasn't playing today

 

[Wellscha]

Torres with the golden boot, justice.

Fixed.


TORRES YOU MOTHER LOVER!! FINALLY YOU DID IT!!!

 

[NHale]

Not a good final. Italy defense just died.

The team died after Motta injury. It was embarassing to watch a team give up when they were "only" down 2 just because they were playing with 10. Of course it's harder but at least show some heart.

 

[Dark Schala]

Awww, Torres's kids! :3

Awwww... everyone's kids are cute.

 

[eggerland]

Spain wins without scoring = boring
Spain wins scoring 4 goals in a final = boring

Please dont do this people

So true, GAF tries so hard @ hating Spain, not even funny.

The key was Xavi H. This was the first game he was truly inspired, he's the reason everything went so smooth today.

 

[duckroll]

I don't even want to know what Balotelli did during his absence. Lol.

 

[rififi]

So happy that Spain won, they played very well. I have to go celebrate.

But I still have to admit that the Italians were unlucky, going down to 10 men from an injury, playing so many games without as much rest in between. You could see that they were tired, and by the way they played throughout this tournament, they didn't deserve to concede 4 goals in the final.


Also, del Bosque has now won the Champions League, the World Cup, and the Euros.

 

[tirant]

Italy being in the final is utterly disgraceful.

Worst ever.

Shut up. The have been one of the best teams this Euro.

 

[walking fiend]

I am happy about my decision not to watch the second half

 

[Mr Swine]

They just gave up

They gave up before the match started.

Also congrats Spain and Spain-Gaf to the 2012 victory!

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Umm.. What? They played quite well until luck had just completely drained them. They were undone by brilliance. "Stinking it up?" ignorant.

Italy played awful as the game went on, they looked exhausted from the beginning.

 

[Konosuke]

Congrats to Spain. Domination. First time I've seen so many kids on field.

Is the world ready for Iberian domination?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Should have been Germany in the final

 

[brotkasten]

I thought Italy would win but can't say i'm sorry for them with their horrifically arrogant fans in Toronto burning Portugal flags and shit.

As an Italian, I would've slapped the shit out of them.

 

[slaughterking]

I don't even want to know what Balotelli did during his absence. Lol.

doping test

 

[Paracelsus]

This match gave me hope for Juventus winning the next UCL. Other than that great match from Spain.

 

[TheMan]

Umm.. What? They played quite well until luck had just completely drained them. They were undone by brilliance. "Stinking it up?" ignorant.

nah, italy played badly. luck or no luck.

 

[IceCold]

Congrats to nuestros hermanos. Glad the cup is at least staying in Iberia. But give Portugal a chance next time, k?

 

[Oxx]

Lol, the kids.

 

[Wellscha]

Torres' kids are beyond adorable.

NEEED GIF STAT!!!

 

[Sickboy007]

I don't even want to know what Balotelli did during his absence. Lol.

Half of those babies were his.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

The verdict is Euro 2012>WC 2010.

 

[criesofthepast]

I thought Italy would win but can't say i'm sorry for them with their horrifically arrogant fans in Toronto burning Portugal flags and shit.

We had this talk the other day in here but let me speak on behalf of all Italians and say those people are not real Italians. The young generation of "fans" in Toronto are mostly pathetic human beings.

 

[hylje]

GG Spain!

Is this just fantasy?

 

[feel]

Umm.. What? They played quite well until luck had just completely drained them. They were undone by brilliance. "Stinking it up?" ignorant.

Whatever, pretty sure they wanted to be brilliant against Portugal but they weren't allowed..

 

[MetatronM]

Fucking LOL at Fernando Torres of all people winning the Golden Boot.

Congrats Spain! After not looking so hot throughout the tournament, this was a glorious way to win the Euro.

Gotta feel bad for Italy. They didn't deserve the utter thrashing they got tonight.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Buffon is awesome, even in defeat.

 

[Wellscha]

IKER! START THE TROOL TRAIN!!

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[spekkeh]

Well that clapping is sympathetic. Then again, when you win 4-0, there's a hint of trolling in there too.

 

[Kabouter]

The verdict is Euro 2012>WC 2010.

I already came to that verdict after the first few matches, god WC 2010 was awful. Hope this isn't the last good international tournament before UEFA ruin the Euros .

 

[Juaner]

Ops, we did it again!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

It's a shame about the injury. Match was really good until then.

I'm glad Xavi came back for this match, he makes a difference and Spain won't be the same when he goes.

One of the most underrated players ever.

 

[Dark Schala]

We had this talk the other day in here but let me speak on behalf of all Italians and say those people are not real Italians. The young generation of "fans" in Toronto are mostly pathetic human beings.

Did they really burn Portuguese flags downtown? wtf.

I don't go downtown to school anymore so I don't get to see celebrating anymore, but that shit is nuts. Everyone seemed so respectful during WC 2010 and EC 2008.

 

[IceCold]

I thought Italy would win but can't say i'm sorry for them with their horrifically arrogant fans in Toronto burning Portugal flags and shit.

They did that? Lol.

 

[Oxx]

Torres Junior waving at the overhead camera was hilarious.

 

[LeleSocho]

this was hilarious, as an italian i'm actually happy that they destroyed us
