How can anyone claim Spain are boring. Their passing is 2nd to none and when they want to they can just cut through teams. The only time they are slightly boring is when teams play 11 men behind the ball and don't move from their 18yard box. Even then they normally find a way to get through.

Aim of the game is to win, no one says you have to win every game 6-0

I could watch them all day me <ok> the players are all so adaptable and the touch and composure is unequalled certainly I've never seen a more consistent international team in my life time (consistently good obviously before anyone says England are consistent).
 
Goes from bad to worse for Italy...

Thiago Motta has to go off injured minutes after coming on. Italy have already made 3 changes and are therefore down to 10 men.

Even bigger challenge for Italy now.
 
They should have played with centre forwards. ;)

That's true, Rorschach. However, Spain could've had a couple more and a (possibly harsh) penalty, too. All things considered, Spain are deservedly winning this match, IMO.

i agree about spain deserving their lead but i'm glad italy are still trying to play good footy too. <ok>
 
You know you've played crap when Torres scores against you...
 
ARRRRGGHHG!

Why didn't I know about this! Apparently they recreated (in penalties) every match of the Euros
