    The Final: Spain v Italy

    Montolivo had a good tournament, but he (still?) has a tendency to disappear when his team needs him.

    Silva not happy with the substitution, but Pedro will stretch Italy and pressure hard. Shame his form his so bad, otherwise he'd be a good bet for a third goal.

    Di Natale took his one chance in the first game, but has gone really cold since, hasn't he?

            Ah... too bad for Thiago Motta. Nasty luck.

              That's a shame. Any chance for Italy has gone now. Spain will just close this one out.

                Can the Spanish not just play fair and lend Italy a sub?

                  Oh damn, I forgot that was third sub. Could turn into exhibition stuff now.

                    By winning the Copa America in 1923 and 1924 and then also the Olympic title (generally regarded as the world championship) in 1924, Uruguay did win three succesive tournaments.

                    Not bad from Lawrenson.

                      I did think "Oooh, an hour in is brave to use all three subs!"

                        I've been kind of amazed by Arbeloa's tournament. I can't really say he's played well, but he'll finish having played every minute right? Wasteful in the attacking end, not really overly tested in the defensive end.

                        And he looks like he's sleepwalked through most of it.

                          Assuming he warmed up properly , yeah, bad luck. Otherwise stupid on either his or the coaches part. Pissed me off it has, it was looking like it could have been a contest.

                            There must be a few Italian players out there now wondering if they could get a cheeky grand or two on 4-0.

                                Bet he did not warm up either.

                                  It's the post- second half analysis I'm looking forward to. So much to talk about!

                                    Are Mata and Llorente the best two players to have never played a minute at a major final?

                                              Torres! Is that a little bit of history for him - first player to score in two Euro finals?

                                                  Torres gets one served up on a plate. If he gets another he has the Golden Boot outright.

                                                    At least Abate's contributed to my twatball tally.
