2012 UEFA European Championship

im surprised that the so called pundits have found pirlo i mean he was been playing for AC milan for a decade why do u think kaka was world player of the year in 2007 and won all the other awards cos he had pirlo supplying him. not to mention the 2 Seire A titles as well as the 2 Champion leagues would have been 3 apart from the miracle of istanbul

I'm gonna stick my neck out and go for a Portugal win (which means Spain will probably win 3-0)

It's been suggested that UEFA will have Howard Webb as referee for the final. But only if Portugal and Italy make the final.
If the final is between Spain and Germany the they plan to use either the Portugese or Italian officals.

How many of those were proper chances? There was only a couple of good chances Ronaldo could have scored from. It is also strange Ronaldo didn't step up to take a penalty. Well done Spain by the way, Ramos looks a better centre back than a right back, he's been great

You've got to appreciate the decision making of a manager who takes off someone who's not having a great game, despite him supposedly being the team's best player on paper (Xavi). This is something England managers past and present could learn from, most recently in the case of Rooney, who I believe should have been subbed for Carroll, instead of Wellbeck, in the game against Italy.

I feel sorry for Bruno Alves, he had to twice to walk up to take a penalty that must of shattered his nerves

I'm amazed Ronaldo wasn't taking one earlier in the penalty shootout
