Euro 2012

so well balanced was the factor for me... but then the other issue is the fact is they didn't score a goal and just sit back defending for the remainder of the game... the football played in Iberia is to play positive passing football and keep scoring goals.... to win in the right manner... of course no team is untouchable, but was quoted as headline in several papers and to retain a trophy is always that much harder, that's why three in row have never been achieved... ok enough from me...

I was saying it's easy for Spain because they are special, but it's for that reason all teams which play them don't attempt to play them man for man, because Spain are so well balanced.

For example in the CL final Chelsea were so deep Barca sat around the Chelsea box and were ineffectual as they had no where to run into. In a way, sitting back a little and giving chelsea the ball would be better. Yesterday, Italy did that for them.

Consequently Spain are involved in more than their fair share of high possesion low attempt-on-goal games. Which can be pretty dull, as evidenced by their lack of exciting wins like yesterday's

I don't get the impression Spain are untouchable, no team is. An untouchable team wouldn't leave progression from the group stage up to Croatia to lose for example.

Pirlo
