I am not entertained. Spain plays with much more purpose than usual, but the final still sucks for being one-sided because of that injury.
And that's why I'm turning it off now.

 

[Fantomex]

lol you could hear the slap on the TV

Too bad the camera went away from the action.

 

[Noirulus]

Spain playing awesome attacking football.

 

[Sickboy007]

Torres in

We can still do it.

 

[brotkasten]

Italy looks dead now.

Yep, I'm turning this off now. No real point in watching this. Spain played a wonderful game and deserve it. And I can continue to put the new bathroom together.

 

[Hanmik]

Here comes Torres..

 

[Majine]

Not the most spectacular final.

 

[criesofthepast]

Don't score again Spain. That scoreline would make the trolling from my ignorant ass friends who didn't watch the match even more unbearable.

 

[Sethos]

I'm trying to watch this sport, but sorry GAF, I can't.

To me, the best indication of how boring it is is the fact that the crowd is signing. I never saw a sport where there was so little excitement among the crowd other than during baseball.

I wouldn't be surprised if every seat had a little TV in the back like in airplanes.

Okay

 

[Jasup]

I was hoping for a comeback from Italy, like Turkey had against the Czechs in 2008 (Turkey even were one man short too). Instead I got Italy that seems to have lost all hope.

 

[TabletopTictacs]

It would be funny if they commentated on more sports.

I wish you hadn't told me about this. I can't turn off.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Pretty boring Euro all around. A team dominating so much in the final is probably the best way to end the tournament. Didn't seem like anyone really wanted to put up a fight against Spain.

 

[spekkeh]

This post makes no sense.

Spain clearly deserve to win as they are by far the best team in the world.

If by best you mean the one that wins then it's a tautology.

 

[Brazil]

Not the most spectacular final.

You were expecting more from a final with Italy?

 

[clemenx]

If I was Llorente I'd burn the Spanish flag and join Basque separatists.

 

[mxgt]

Fuck Spain

 

[Wellscha]

Torres in

Fixed.

 

[AcridMeat]

My dad on Torres running on the field, "oh a girl!"

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Torres is coming in, you know this game is over.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Torres needs to score to complete this.

 

[Bento]

Spain a tad harder to face as 10 men than the Czechs

 

[Hoo-doo]

Lol at people turning it off. Just appreciate the football that's being played.

I think they were pretty spectacular in the semi.

Are you for real...??

The crowd is singing = the sport is boring

... Yes, definitely not your sport, don't come back

 

[Kurtofan]

That was known before the match though right? Spain were already going for winning 2010 so if they also won Euro it would have went to the runner up.

I need to find some positive point

 

[PandaJones]

 

[ActStriker]

Fabregas for Torres? lol

 

[Dance Inferno]

Watching this at a bar; Spain is actually not playing boring football. Color me surprised.

 

[flippedb]

Abate is actually playing ok!

 

[jtb]

Torres! Still a chance for more lulz, and it'd be real nice to see him get a goal in the final - it feels like an eternity ago when he scored in '08

I take it you haven't watched any game this tournament but this final? The finals is never the best game to watch (may be the worst) of a major tournament if your looking for excitement and to be sold on a sport.

Well sure, but you could even try a bit.

 

[Sethos]

Lol at people turning it off. Just appreciate the football that's being played.

Seems like most people here watch it purely because it's the finals, not because they truly enjoy football. Especially some of the Spain hate comments in here are just stupid.

 

[Kurtofan]

The problem is Spain in the ass.

 

[Firemind]

god must hate italians

two injuries

come on

They sing in celebration or as an urge to the team to improve. There is nothing about singing that implies the match is boring.

I'm sorry they aren't chanting "LET'S GO <TEAM NAME>! LET'S GO <TEAM NAME!>" or "DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!"

 

[Clegg]

Iniesta will be 30, the World Cup is in Brazil, and Neymar will be 22. They're definitely not the favorites.

When Iniesta is 30 he'll be at the very peak of his powers. He's probably the best midfielder in the world and only behind Messi and Ronaldo as the best player in the world.

Neymar isn't even half as good as Iniesta.

Heh

Dude, there are people like that in every single football tournament.
People from the US weighing in with their opinion after watching 15 minutes, always fucking hilarious.

 

[ColossalLazy]

lol Pedro

edit: And that's not mentioning the fake injuries. In hockey you get a penalty for this shit.

Lol.

 

[brotkasten]

lol the Spaniards here are already celebrating.

Lol at people turning it off. Just appreciate the football that's being played.

You need two teams for a good match. With Italy on the ground, there's nothing else to see here, imo.

 

[TabletopTictacs]

Hearing them explain the offside rule is amazing.

 

[giga]

Spanish footwork man.

 

[jtb]

:lol Pedro trusts Biscuits more than Torres?!?

 

[Wellscha]

If I was Llorente I'd burn the Spanish flag and join Basque separatists.

:lol :lol

I wondered what he meant by signing, that's pretty funny.

 

[Kurtofan]

Heh

Yeah this is exciting to watch a 10 men Italy struggle against Spain, which played boringly all tournament except for the first half of this match.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

lol at the espn commentator "it was off-side, saves him the embarrassment"

 

[criesofthepast]

It's quite sad because we've had a few really great games this tournament. Oh well, their loss.
