Spain Wins Euro-Cup 2012

La Roja Turns on the Style and Substance

In what was the showdown in Kiev, Spain trounced Italy 4-0 in the Final match of the football UEFA Euro-Cup.  

The win for the Spainish Team--La Roja--was historic as it was the third consecutive win for Spain in the 2008 Euro Cup, the 2010 World Cup, and the 2012 Euro Cup.   Equally the score of 4-0 was the highest score ever in a Euro Cup Final football match. 

Sports commentators described the win as Spain "being the best team ever."

Days ago, Spain defeated Portugal in semi-Finals. 

Then came the big upset--Italy who had won its match over England, defeated favorite Germany in a 2-1 game.  Italy was seen as the comeback kid and on a roll to make history.

But in the Finals, Spain simply outclassed the resurgent Italians and scored the historic 4 goal game.

All in all a good Euro Cup, jointly hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
