Spain-Germany finals would have been better. Spain is just too good for Italy.

Italy battered Germany and Italy could and should have beaten Spain in the group game earlier in the tournament... do not underestimate how important Casillas was in the first half of this game and going down to 10 men.

Germany played a better game, but Balotelli was on a pretty good day. Battered? Yeah, right...

Anyways Spain was already 2-0 before their coach did the third substitution ten minutes into the game. Everybody knows the risks that come with it, namely one of the players having an injury. Casillas just did his job like Buffon and all the other goalkeepers did during the whole cup, including the aforementioned Buffon. This smells like overwhelming exception fallacy to me - besides the shoots the goalkeeper defended, the goals Spain did and Italy's bad calls, Italy could have won... I think I'm missing what winning on football means, since apparently it isn't neither keep goals from happening and scoring them. 

I think you are just envious England isn't even top five in Europe...
