Unfortunately can't chat at work. I love Torrez and Villa, but also really liking Arshavin. This should be exciting.

I'm going to quit saying things like, "Can't wait to see the Dutch in the finals" or "This game should be exciting". I've got jinx tendencies.

Russia: A one man team? Before Arshavin was in, they were totally anonymous.
And today Spain were able to keep him out of the match and the team was again totally anonymous.
Spain very worthy winners - nice to see Cesc have a blinder.

Hope the ink hasn't dried on that Barca contract yet, Arshavin!

2nd half - I didn't even care if they scored - I just loved watching Spain set up a couple of those plays - they had some beautiful moments!
Now write me a receipt so I can tip on outta here...

Yes! In the last ten-fifteen minutes, when the match was essentially over anyway, Spain played some lovely one touch football all across the pitch. Just beautiful to watch.

What a final this will be!

Hell.
Yes.

Torres was fighting so hard for a goal the first 30min, it was brilliant to see him pull off a game-winner. What an amazing tournament.

Great game, well-deserved winners. I'm so glad they pulled through.

It felt like everybody in Europe was rooting for (the) Spain tonight.

I was happy for the Spain.  They played well an were so clearly the better team.  Good for them - they've been underachievers for so long that in a lot of ways, getting out from under that was the hardest thing.

I was very happy my prediction of the Germany vs. the Italy was only half true.  Now, if only someone other than the big 5 can win South Africa 2010, I will be most pleased.  I vote for Cameroon.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
