    Spain will not adapt 2 the diamond midfield of Italy,will that b their downfall like the tactically poor English+the over confident Germans.

    Oh, by the way, here's a starting 11 of eligible players for Spain who didn't play today (either because of selection or injury).


    --------------------Valdes----------------
    Iraola-------Albiol---------Puyol---Monreal
    ------------------Javi Martinez-----------
    ---------------Thiago----Borja Valero-----
    -----Muniain-------------------Villa-------
    ---------------------Llorente-------------

    Just threw it together to make a point, there's probably a stronger 11 that they can field, but still...

    Navas, Cazorla, Reina, Soldado...

    They have tremendous stength in depth and a further conveyor belt engrained in their style.

    It really is a golden generation of talent, can't wait to see how they fare in Brazil.

    Well done Spain.

    Italy had a lot of misfortune last night.

    The injuries destroyed them, and destroyed the final.

    As soon as they went down to 10 they couldn’t get out of their own half.

    Italy started the 2nd half well, at 11 V 11, I would have fancied them to get a goal before 70 mins. Could have set up a more exciting finish. In stead, Spain ran the ball around 10 men.

    Turned off after that.

    Can’t see Spain winning the WC in 2014.

    Spain totally upped their game in the final and thoroughly deserved to win it.

    Nice to see that Spain decided to turn it on for the final though Italy were unfortunate with injuries.
