Would you believe it? Germany beaten by Italy?

I was betting on Germany too, but Pirlo did a really awesome job assisting that first goal.

Overall I believe Italy deserved to win :smile:

To summarise: it was a really cool final. Spain scored 1-0, and were better, but Italy weren't bad either. Just before the end of the first half, Spain made the 2-0. Italy got of to a reasonably good start in the second half, but Spain was still quite clearly the better team. Italy used up their third and final substitute at (I think) approximately 20 minutes into the second half, but had to continue playing with only 10 players when this very player got an injury to his hamstring. After that, Spain totally demolished Italy, ending the match in an impressive 4-0.

I'm convinced this was one of the most enjoyable finals I've watched, even though I was silently hoping Italy would win. :)
