    Not sure Pirlo is going to get the POTT now, he didn't get going at all in the final. When he's closed down a lot of his armoury is gone. For me, Iniesta should get it, kept a high level of performance throughout the whole tournament.

    As a fan of the Spanish Team I felt that they hadn't perfomed to their usual (or expected) standard throughout this tournament. Delighted that tonight they proved all their doubters wrong. Probably the best performance I have seen them put in in the last four years. Delighted!!! Especially delighted for both Torres and Xavi who had come in for some (warranted) criticism recently. Looking forward to 2014:)

    Anyone know who got the official motm (if such a thing exists)? The Guardian gave it to Alba.

    I think Iniesta is going to get the POTT, even before this game he had the highest average player rating on the stats and tonight should pretty much seal it.

    Well done to Spain, a truly amazing achievement and whether it be through downright efficiency or beautiful play they know how to win football games.

    Embarrassing for ITV that.

    Guessing massive switch over to RTE for half time with the lads and back again to BBC for 2nd half...

    People are used to Lineker, Hanson and co though so its hardly a surprise? BBC and RTE also both had earlier and longer run times then ITV so that went against them. (they did all tournament anyway)

    I actually enjoyed the ITV analysis for the games they did, didnt get to see any on bbc, and the bits I saw on Rte either made me laugh or get very very angry

    I watched it on BBC HD. To watch on ITV HD, I have to go to the Freesat channel and press the red button. No brainer really

    BTW, not the first time a team has won 3 "major" tournaments in a row. Also, didn't the USA knock them out in the Confed Cup a few years ago?

    BBC don't have ad breaks so that's why I'd pick BBC over ITV.

    RTE all the way though.

    First time at team to win the European (continental) cup the World Cup and again the European (continental) cup. I think Uruguay did this before back in the 20's and 30's.

    Also, first team to win the European cup 2 consecutive times, and Fernando Torres is the first one to score in two consecutive finals.

    Del Bosque is the first coach to get a Champions League, European Cup and world cup

    Uruguay did 2 Olympics and a WC, but the WC wasn't exactly competitive back then, well certainly not as competitive as it is today. I'm not sure how competitive the Olympics were back then, and if they had the same rules as they have today (i.e. U-23's).

    Most enjoyable international final, I can remember. Well done Spain, and thanks to Italy for their big part in the tournament.

    I remember watching Spurs v Real Madrid last year and Herelheo Gomes mishandled a Ronaldo shot and it went in horribly, and they showed a clip of Casillas shaking his head and he looked genuinely disappointed for Gomes after that mistake.

    Always had big respect for him (being a keeper myself) but it's these instances that show football in a really positive light, demonstrating gamesmanship and has it's genuinely nice people.
