Euro 2012 Final

This Sunday, or in the wee hours of Monday morning, is the final of Euro 2012. Instead of the final I was hoping for, which was Spain versus Germany, the final is a contest between Spain and Italy. Yes, Mario Balotelli scored a brace as the Azzuri defeated the Germans in the semi final. In the other semi final, Spain dramatically beat  Portugal in a tense penalty shoot-out. Spain will be expected to play their style of keeping possession of the ball, a style which has been dubbed 'Tikki-Takka'. The Italians will look to defend with their lives and break swiftly on the counter-attack. That tactic looks promising with their two strikers, Antonio Cassano and Balotelli in terrific form. However, I expect Spain to get their third piece of major silverware in a row.
