Juventus

I agree- very easy to be critical of players at the end of the season, while forgetting that some of these players are now going on 2 years without a proper summer's rest.

I don't think it's about the lack of talent in the rest of the team- it's just that Pirlo's brilliance on the field is, at this point, legendary, and for most unacquainted with our league, the one player they can always reference is Pirlo.

Hopefully we get Berardi one of the biggest talents in Italian football, he killed in seria b . Many are saying he will be the next big thing

Isla's deal was renewed and Asamoah now full belongs to us.

Anibal back in Turin for another season....no way we make our rivals stronger!! Especially not Moratti's boys!! FORZA JUVE!!

but in the end Spain dominates. We have good youth at the moment, but Spain have a good system that constantly breeds new talents.

It will go on like this.

That penalty killed it for Italy but still good try from the players , Spain a force to be reckoned with so much talent. Verrati , Insigne , Gabbia , Destro, Florenzi have a bright future ahead along with Saponara

This game is testament to the psychology of this beautiful game. It would have been easy to get their heads down after conceding so early, but they dug in and Immobile scored. At 1-1, I thought it was a very even game and you could see that Spain were a little concerned, especially given how well we were defending. A poorly misjudged cross that should have been cleared and it's 2-1 to them. In spite of that, the boys kept up the pressure, as the game was still very well in hand.

The ref then made a joke of a decision- absolutely no way that is a penalty AT ALL. I wish there was a way we could use video replay for some of these ridiculous calls. Anyway, at 3-1, it ceased being a contest, because we had to scrap the gameplan and go for broke trying to salvage something. A clumsy challenge and second penalty later, and it felt quite reminiscent of Euro 2012, although I felt cheated of a fair contest in this one.

Sidenote: If Florenzi's sublime effort had gone in, not only would we have had the goal of the tournament, but it would have been interesting to see Spain playing from behind (having not conceded a goal before the final!)

Serie A clubs and their coaches should hand more and more chances to youngsters to further their development. For example, Inter this season were going to do bad anyway with all those injuries, but still they never gave their primavera talents a chance. With Benitez at Napoli, I am also worried a little bit for Insigne. I don't remember a particular young player the fatty nurtured.

38 min, 1-3 Spain :(

3-1 for spain with a horrible penalty call

Yeah a joke of a penalty.

so much for glory...but 2 penalties?!?

Thats amazing man , first time Iran qualify? Wish same thing would happen to Albania , we still have a chance we are second in the group :)

No Iran did qualify in 2006 and boy did they play great I am very happy for you well my countries aren't doing so well lets just put it at that.

FORZA Iran!
