After more than three weeks of excitement, the EURO 2012 is over. Poland and Ukraine stepped up their "game" and delivered awesome stadiums, fan zones, infrastructure, and welcoming people. In your face BBC, Sol Campbell should publicly apologize for his nasty remarks. Thank you Poland! Thank you Ukraine!
The Spaniards are champions again, second time in a row, after completely destroying Italians 4-0 in Kiev during the final today.
The Barcelona school of football paid off again. Italy had some moments during the game but for the most part Spain ruled the pitch. First half ended with 2-0 score with goals by David Silva - 14" and Jordi Alba - 41". To add to the drama, in 62 minute, after loosing Thiago Motta due to a hamstring injury, Italy had to play with only 10 players having no more substitutions left. In 84 minute Fernando Torres scored again for Spain only to assist Juan Mata in 88 minute with another goal.
If Europe was looking for a grand finale, this game fit the bill. Congrats Spain!
