Forza Azzurri!

I have to admit, Italy's play during this championship came as a pleasant surprise to me. I hope they get rewarded for their efforts and win the whole thing.

I'm 100% with Italy for this one. Spain has bored me too much, even if I do think they'll won eventually I will cheer for their opponents.

What will be hard too chose though, is whether I'll be amazed more by Pirlo or Iniesta if they both play their best.

So, I see that most of the people here on TL changed their opinions about Italy, huh ?

Criscito out as well as Chiellini will really hurt Italy. And I know and this is quite old, and no disrespect to Balotelli, but with Rossi the Azzurri might as well take the trophy home.

But I'm still hoping for the best, Forza Azzurri!

I'll be cheering for Italy.
1-1 in regular time, Italy will take it in a penalty shoot-out.

I just want to quote myself here from before the tournament:

I think it's funny how few people consider Italy a threat, they are a team that shines in big tournaments similar to Germany.

I even betted on Italy as champion because I don't bet on Germany and betting on Spain is boring. I'm such a football-hipster! :p

Forza Azzuri!
Balotelli MoM and Pirlo MVP of championship.

I want good football, Italy provided much more entertaining games than Spain at the moment so I'm rooting for them but Spain still can make me change my mind

I atually think that Italy will take this, they've been playing really well this whole tournament, and they play very entertaining offensive football imo. And on the other side, Spain need Villa, they dont have other players like him who can just score goals all the time, so I dont think that they'll score any goals against italy tbh.

So Italy it is, even though I'm cheering for Spain, since they play football the way that its supposed to be played.

BALOTELLI! I BELIEVE!

3-1 Italy! Italy scores 1st goal, spain second.

I pray for that Spain does not win. I dislike their 4-6-0 a LOT. It is so so boring to watch, even more than their elitistic setup from 2008 and 2010.

Edit: I sincerely doubt Proenca would be biased. He is a very good ref imho. Though as mentioned Webb likely would be a "better" choice for most.
