Spain wins Euro 2012, joins all-time great debate - Yahoo! Sports

Spain took a few minutes at the end of its breathtaking Euro 2012 triumph to prove it is human, after spending the previous 90 showing why, in soccer terms at least, it is anything but.

A 4-0 victory over Italy on Sunday clinched an unprecedented third straight major tournament success for the majestic Spanish, many of whom brought their young children onto the field at the final whistle to celebrate with them. It was a touching gesture and spawned lovely scenes of childlike exuberance, with the kids hugging and playing excitedly with their delighted fathers.

All the accusations of boring play were washed away at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev as Italy, having shown so much spirit and resilience in reaching the final, were simply picked apart with a thousand cuts.

poor Italy looked like they didn't want to be on the pitch. Most of their players gave up early on.

I loved it. And not only because of my spanish roots, but because they saved their best game for the final. That's how soccer should be played. It was a masterpiece.

I love how pissed Balotelli was at the end. Wonder why he didn't flex his muscels :icon_cheesygrin:
