Just as I predicted, Italy vs Spain in the finals. Oh my god, who should you root for in that kind of "crap vs shit"?
Rant #1: IF the UEFA had any balls at all, Italy would've never been allowed taking part in this EC. And Spain is boring as hell. So, I really couldn't care less who wins. Except for: I really don't want Spain to defend the title. But Italy deserves it even less, with all this bullcrap going on in their league.
Rant #2: The ref was absolute pish! What on earth did he see in half of the situations? Italian player runs into german player -> Free kick Italy. This happened 4 or 5 times. It's ridiculous.
Italian player is 10 meters offside -> no offside call made. WTF?
Italian player kicks the ball out -> Throw in Italy (ok, I'm not so sure about this one, happened during the final minutes of the game).
Also: Balotelli cramping after 70 minutes? Are you fucking kidding me?!
Not so ranty anymore: At least there's nothing to argue about with the italian goals. Those where 100% correct, so overall, it was a deserved win for Italy. Congrats!
Looking back: What's good about this EC? Germany won every group game. Something no other team accomplished. Germany also won against Holland, which is always comforting. ALSO: Not yet another lost final. Those tend to be stuck with you for far longer than if you lose in the quarter- or semi finals.
