Euro 2012

[RobVarak]

I'll repeat: The most overlooked part of tiki-taka is the sublime skill of Spain's defense. It's easy for a back four and keeper to fall asleep when their front six dominates possession, but Spain's rear guard always is ready and ruthlessly good.

Along the same lines, it's also almost unfair that on top of all that talent, they have Casillas in goal as well.

Del Bosque deserves a lot of credit as well for sticking to his 'Jogo Bonito' style he's implemented to his team.

The scary part of Spain is that most of the players will be between 27-33 in two years at Brazil. And for most players that is the prime of their careers. Scary...

I have celebrated for three days. Today on July 4th, I realized I am not from there. Crap! or here.

Bad men.

This Spanish team is one of the great teams of all time. I think they're the true inheritors of the mantle once held by those fantastic Brazilian teams of Pele and co.

Yup. Absolutely incredible team and, for me at least, a joy to watch. I'll even admit I cracked a smile when Fernando Torres scored....now I need to go take a shower.

Yeah but its been so painful watching the guy play that there was a sweet sense of relief.

You clearly haven't seen me play. That far up the pitch I either get a nosebleed or get so excited I sky the ball like a Charlie Adam penalty.
