best player in the world

Always thought Iniesta was robbed of the Ballon D'or in 2010. Was easy to just award it to Messi but Iniesta deserved it imo.

They pay out on all the winners, but cut the odds by the number in the tie.

Don't cut your odds cut your stake if you had 20 on and 2 tie you only have 10 on if 3 tie you have 6:66 and so on

william hill, such deadly odds about 61/1 a few minutes ago for italy win lol

this is a footballing version of rape.

balotelli might as well walk off now and put on his gold watch for some post match interviews.

I think you could use a less crude comparison to be honest.

Mr.Nice Guy

Who'd bet against four in a row?

John Terry in the stadium searching for a Spanish jersey and some shinguards as we speak.

Very unselfish by Torres when you think that another goal would have won him the golden boot outright! But that assist gives him a share with Gomez doesn't it?

BBC have said it goes to player with least minutes played - so Torres.

4-0 all over :S

kingshankly

Balotelli a disgrace

handsomecake

balotelli- classless fool

Hank Scorpio

Balotelli could show a bit more class

Barr

What a performance. Italy did not deserve that beating.

Seaneh

What did Mario do?

I shall start off the terry pictures

Balotelli looking annoyed there. I don't think there'll be headphones big enough to conceal the annoyed head on him.

murpho999

George crediting Chelsea with Spain's victory is ridiculous.

gerard piques tropy cabinet is unreal

Aidric

Awesome. Just awesome.

Barr

I feel sorry for Italy. They were really outclassed tonite.

Paparazzo

Italy gave up when Motta went off, but more than likely would have won anyway. Well done spain.

Seaneh

What's with the random Spaniard in the Milan Jersey sitting with the players famalies?!?

Nuri Sahin

Harsh on Italy. Congrats to boring Spain, history made.

Stormed off down the tunnel, nothing major, just acting like the child that he is.

Does winning the tournament entitle players to steal children from the ground?

Yep. You can have up to 2. Its in the small print on the tickets.

Yes. Yes it does.

Boring!?

Ask me arse !

Football is the winner tonight . Excellent side who plays the game, the beautiful game - beautiful .

Paparazzo

I with Giles here. Wish people would stop calling them the greatest team of all time, it's impossible to measure that.

Ah people need to get over it.

Where does it say in the rules he has to stand there and cry on the pitch?

He is a 21 year old who just lost the biggest match in his career, maybe he just didn't want the world looking at him in tears, upset and probably a little angry?

Grid.

Well done Spain! Amazing team!

Funny cos he seems to want the world to see everything else he does.

Mr.Nice Guy

Incredible team. Even the players that didn't get a look in like Cazorla and Llorente are also fantastic. You have to give massive respect to the coaches for producing this conveyor belt of quality.

whats with winners turning venues into nursery's now.

we seen it at the snooker finals and now this.

Anyone see the Spanish player swing for the pitch invader when they were in the huddle

Well, as much as I dislike them, they've done something that's not been done before, so that certainly lends credence to them being the best.

What happens if you have money on the top scorer and it's a tie??
Money back??

What happens is this.
For each player that ties for the win that you didn't have you lose. There are four top scorers so you lose three times and win on the guy you backed.

So if you had €10 on one of them then you had €2.50 on the winner at the price you got.

Your stake is divided by the amount of winners and you get paid on your winning portion at the odds you took when you placed the bet.

Torres wins the golden boot due to least minutes played, according to The Guardian.

Just aswell for Bolatelli that it doesnt say in the rules that you have to have class to play the game . .

aindriu80

its no mean feat, 3 trophies on the run like that. Still with La Liga and 40 million people its achievable.

No otherwise Beusquets, Ramos or Pique would never have won the Euros or World cup.

murpho999

In fairness to Ballotelli, it looks like the defeat really hurts, surely that's a good thing?

They're up there, but can you honestly say they're better than Hungary of the 50's, brazil 1970, brazil 82, holland 70's? I don't think anyone can.

spain simply class today,
