Spain just a cut above everyone else, don't see their dominance ending anytime soon. Sad though if we end up losing Thiago after this performance.

 

[DonAndres]

Spanish dominance isn't over yet

How many are hoping :thiago: has an absolute shocker to ward off any suitors?

Thiago scores a first half hat-trick

Looks like I jinxed it... Sorry!

Fantastic tournament from our lads (apart from Tello ).

On the subject of moronic pitch invaders. Fine them. Ban them. And beat the shit out of them so they don't do it again. Rant over.

Back to back under 19s, under 21s and main European championships. World cup winner as well, under 17s flopped badly this past year though!

Be interesting to see how the under 20s do at the world cup, knocked out to eventual winners Brazil in 2011.

Is that not a catalan thing?

Sure I have read that.

 

[Galning]

I don't know.

Those of you saying that the foul on Tello wasn't a penalty, clearly don't understand the modern ruling.

It doesn't matter if the defender got something on the ball. He came right through the back of Tello, and could have caused injury.

It wasnt a penalty. Lots of good tackles could cause injury.

If you were on the receiving end of that "tackle", you would not be saying that.

Seriously, some of you need to read up on the rules of association football, because you are well out of touch.

Marco van Basten anyone?

Nah, never a pen.

Thing is you see challenges like that all the time with the penalty not given, especially in a final I think that was way too soft. The ref basically killed the game right there. Second one though was clear cut.

Fine. I'll let you drown in your own ignorance.

Fine. I'll let you drown in your own ignorance.

Wasn't a penalty but it was the best thing Tello contributed to Spain's tournament.
