While Spain is just as deserving of their place in the final as Italy, the team has quickly amassed a following of haters. Those who love to bash on the powerhouse are still drawn to their games in hopes of cataclysmic upset, especially in the case of a potentially historic match for the team such as this one.
With a record such as Spain’s it is not so surprising to hear that even fans who oppose Italy still want to see Spain fall. Chalk it up to our deep seeded conviction of cheering for the underdog, to see David topple Goliath. However, Italy is far from David with a trio of imposing players that Spain is no doubt sweating over at least a little.
Italian players Mario Balotelli, Antonio Cassano and Andrea Pirlo are dominating the pitch as one of Italy’s best attacking teams in recent years. The team has ousted such Final hopefuls as England and Germany. Decimating strikes from Balotelli, crafty hijinks from Pirlo in the box, and a hearty dose of homophobia from Cassano will make for quite an interesting match as Spain attempt to corral Italy’s tumultuous trio.
