    I would like Spain to have 60% possession and this game to go to penalties, can be a 3-3 thriller or a 0-0 tactical fest, those two outcomes will make me very happy.

    I agree.

    Don't really mind who wins in the grand scheme of things.

    If we get a repeat of the first game it'll be the best major final in a long time.

    Interesting that both sides are suspension free for the final. That might be a first in my time watching international finals. Possibly not but seems like there's always someone who misses out.

    The music for the closing celebration is like something from an Austin Powers film.

    Ray Houghton sounds like Fat Ba$tard.

    The fact that the yellow cards are wiped after the QFs has a huge part to play in that. I just wish they did the same in the Champions League. The final was somewhat ruined this year due to all the suspensions.

    The new rules helped this stat - it was no longer possible to be suspended for the final via two yellows.

    Italian singing their anthem with passion, how it should be done. Hate the silent expressions from some of the Irish players.

    Funny how this used to be the most unwanted outcome in football for the neutral.
