Damn, Italy had a great chance there, but he blew it.

Italy is playing very poorly on offense. It's very disheartening to see.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Damn.
That's the match.
Now I know how the Germans felt. T_T
And Spain scores again!
Spain already trying to step on Italy's throat. That 4-6-0 position is killing Italy
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Wow, that was a beautiful play by Spain. Upset that it was Spain, but it was pretty.
Alba's sprint was nothing short of amazing.
Saint Iker living up to his nickname
That was definitely a necessary foul. Iniesta would have definitely gotten a third goal or an assist there.
Italy looks confused, even Balotelli is hesitating near goal.

Agree with both of these statements

As much as I hate to say it, Spain is just completely dominant.
They might just be one of, in not, the greatest teams in history.
Hopefully a miracle happens in the second half.
As much as I want Italy to win, Spain is playing amazingly.
Spain makes Italy look like amateurs. It could have easily been 4-0 already.
Don't lose hope yet, Italy fans. There's still 45 minutes left to turn the tables.
Let's see if Italy can adjust to Spain's counter-attacking. I think they don't need to make personnel switches as much as a layout change.

Close shot by di Natale. Keep attacking like that, Italy!
Way too close.
Italy lucky Iniesta didn't get to that ball first.
AND THAT WAS HANDBALL right there by Italy.

Obvious penalty was obvious.
Not watching it but I heard the cries outside when the scores. I wonder if it will happen like with the World Cup with everyone rampaging outside.
AND THAT WAS HANDBALL right there by Italy.
Wasn't intentional. Was a good call by the refs.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!
How do you not score there??
But his hand didn't need to be up when he defended Ramos. unintentional or not, it's still a penalty. To be fair, Balotelli should've had a pk too.
EDIT: C'mon Italy, do you need your goals gift-wrapped and kissed before you can even try to shoot it?
Spain got robbed of their 3:0, the ref is probably paid off.

A hand ball _has_ to be intentional for it to be called.
Italy getting some good shots hut nothing is going by Saint Iker
Except unintentional handballs get called all the time, especially if it ruins an attacking chance.

Except those are terrible, technically wrong calls.
That was the right call.
It doesn't matter because Spain is going to win anyway.
Okay, let's see what Thiago Motta can do.

Nobody can get by Casillas, this is ridiculous.
When the World Cup comes around everyone better fear this Spain team. And to think how even more scary this team would be if David Villa was playing in this tournament

Italy cannot catch a break
The universe is just against Italy today it would appear.
11 against 10.
Fucking ridiculous.
You're kidding, Thiago Motta walks in and then gets injured. Can Italy's luck get any worse?

Yup, because they have to play 11 against 10 now.
It seems Motta won't return…
@Nex:

I know, I should've added that in my statement. I just can't imagine that any team could have this much bad luck.
Italy will now play to prevent a total curbstomp.
The only thing that could be worst is if Balotelli goes full on Super Crazy Balotelli and kicks someone in the face intentionally or pulls some Zidaine type shit

So much for that miracle, eh Nex?

Doesn't even look like Balotelli has the energy for that sort of thing. Everyone looks so deflated, it's really depressing to watch.

You're telling me. I don't want to watch, but I can't just give up.
So I've compromised and gone to my room and muted my tv as the rest of my family gets miserably drunk.
Bad Luck Italy :/
Looks like we have our (old) new champion.
Now we just need Torres to score and the humiliation will be complete.
On the bright side, if Torres plays like he did in the first game of the tourney, it'll be like a 10 on 10 game.
And here comes Torres. If Italy allows Torres to score then it will be too much

Wow that should have been a free kick for Spain

Fuck this
Just
fuck
this
Spain got robbed of 1 penalty and 1 free kick.
How could Pedro miss that one? Yeah, I know it was off-side, but still…
I know Italy dominated Germany to get here but man I wish Germany would have had the rematch against Spain

The difference between Germany and Spain is that latter's defense doesn't suck. That changed everything for Italy.
Will any team ever be able to beat these spanish football gods?
Germany needs to learn to stop choking in semi-final matches before I think about how a Germany-Spain final would've been. Italy deserved to be here, but man, I wish they had better luck or something!

Portugal got close.
EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Torres scores!
