Sadly, Italy fell to Spain today in the Euro 2012 finals, 4-0. Very, very, very disappointing. We really wanted Italy to win. Having Spain win yet another championship is somehow so... mundane. When half-time hit, and Italia was behind two goals, I just couldn't watch anymore because it was too painful. I actually had to leave, because I had a feeling it was going to be an uglier second half. I wish I turned out to be wrong, but Spain scored another two goals, upping the score to 4-0.
Still, it is what it is, and we should just be grateful for Italia's stellar and feisty performance in this race. Savor their great moments, like their bracing semi-final battle against Germany last Wednesday.
Congratulations, Espana. But, as always, VIVA ITALIA!
