Who would have thought the Euro 2012 Final would be Spain v Italy?
Italy booked there place after beating Germany with a brace from Mario Balotelli. You can love or hate the Manchester City striker but there was no getting away from his brilliant header then a superb strike for his second goal of the game. The Germans were poor defensively and overall were probably second best across the pitch.A late penalty from Ozil was never enough and Italy ran out 2-1 winners.
Spain played out a goal less draw with Portugal on Wednesday, taking the game to extra time and penalties where they kept their cool with a 4-2 win. Ronaldo didn't get to take a penalty, whether it was a good decision or not to wait is anyones guess and only he can answer that question.
The Final on Sunday puts two good teams up against one another. Many say Spain are boring but they keep the ball very well and can carve open a defence with ease. Italy are a very well organised team defensively and can also break out with speed. So, all in all I can see a decent football match and hopefully the footballing stars will all be on song and give us a match to remember.
Another early goal from Italy may see Spain pick up their game and my prediction for this game is 2-2.
Extra time will have a goal apiece which takes an exciting game down to penalties where Spain once again triumph 5-3.
I hope you have enjoyed my blog during the Euros and will be keeping you up to date with latest news in the footballing world. Good luck with everything you do and bet carefully and sensibly.
