Took me a second but Casillas must be standing on a box or something, since those two are big fellas. For such a small guy he is such a beast.
Yes watching history in the making, why waste your time?

Totally. If Americans with ancestry similar to mine happen to like England, it's because they like England, not because they are 'English' themselves. It's not an identity we have, as most of our ancestors can't even really be considered immigrants.

I wonder why some people even bother to watch soccer if they are so clueless.

Think they could and I think people who says they couldn't seriously underestimates how much better everything around (not necessarily when it comes to entertainment value) football has become.

Viva España! awesome job guys 
ahahahahaha
And its funny watching Italy coming up with all these excuses for the record breaking loss in a final EVER.
I don't think it's really an "excuse" when you concede goals when you're playing 11-10. Balotelli played well today but Spain's defense was suffocating. Hats off to them for not allowing him a chance.

Spain obviously the better side and deserve the win.
There was no way to come back after they were down to 10.
You cannot have 1 forced sub, and go down to 10 players due to injury and have a chance against Spain, you cannot have that kind of luck against the best team in the world.

I don't mean to butt in, but I feel like this is a totally bullshit reason to watch. I (and probably Xeke as well) want to see a good game, not "history"

It was an interesting match yesterday, but in my opinion 4:0 was too much. 2:0 would have been correct, too.
Balotelli wasn't too happy about that.
But what did Shakira think?

¡¡Enhorabuena España!!

This thread was a great ride. During the whole tournament, I showed a lot of hatred towards Spain, and I wasn't happy they won. But credit where it's due, congrats to them and their fans. I was underwhelmed by all of their performances until yesterday, where they were completely amazing and totally deseved the title.

There are no excuses. Even if our team had shown a slither of quality yesterday, Spain would've still destroyed them. Maybe not 4:0, but they were the better team by far.
Spain dictated the game from the beginning, and looking at how they managed to rip open Italys defense time and time again, they really were on fire yesterday.
I expected at least more of a fight from Italy. The talent is there, but they really didn't show any of it yesterday.
Congrats again to Spain. This team is one for the historybooks.
You don't really need excuses. Even though Spain was clearly the better/fitter side, scores don't really say much about the actual difference in a knockout match. 2 goals behind they have to play recklessly to even make a chance. So of course it can go either way.

So damn tasty. I'd fuck her hard.
Of course they would, football now is incomparable to football back then. Many of the basic skills and techniques in every contemporary player's repertoire weren't even invented back then and the overall pace is much higher *cough*noFuenteseither*cough*.
As someone who lives in a country which doesn't participate in the Euro/WC nor has a realistic chance of doing so in the forseeable future, I at least can't be disappointed with any result.
I'm totally sympathizing with the Italians though. They got much farther than most people anticipated and they did it by playing beautifully.
But in the end, Spain was by far the best overall team in this tournament.
And what's crazy is that they have a very realistic chance of also winning WC 2014. Truly a remarkable era in Spanish football.

Thanks for the info
Cosenza? I'm from Serra San Bruno which isn't far away. Just about 80km.
kurtofan wtf it's just football
This Spain side would absolutely defeat the Brazil 1970 side due to fitness alone. It'd be a walkover.

Yeah people are seriously underestimating how much has happened the last 40 to 50 years when it comes to training.
Pretty much every athletic record has been smashed since.
Nostalgia aside, modern-day Spain (and many other teams) would probably destroy Pele's Brazil. There has been too much progress in the sport.
