    They werent boring yesterday. Not nearly as much tiki-taka as they often display. And both goals were scored on athleticism first, skill second. Dont get me wrong I love skill in soccer, but it is also a sport. When watching the highest level of any sport I expect to also see breathtaking athleticism. I dont enjoy seeing grown men play keep-away; I can see that at my son's soccer practices. I agree about Spains defense. In fact when it comes to Spain and Barcelona, it is their defense that I admire the most.

    Italy had some bad luck but I was a bit surprized they didnt have an answer for when Alba came crashing forward. You saw him do that against Portugal so I expected Italy to be ready for it.

    Agree with Don about Iniesta and Pirlo, it was special seeing both of them on the field at the same time.
