Greatest international team ever ?

Spain could've even had a more potent attack with David Villa too and Puyol would've moved Ramos outside so he could attack a little more.

You'd think ESPN would've already produced a computer simulation between this Spain team and Pele's Brazil team, just to fill content minutes for various shows.

That's just it... Spain won this tournament with two starters injured. That's amazing.

Fast forward to the 1:00 mark to see the montage. [Mark May]ty quality, but a pretty good closing montage despite Coldplay. Have Coldplay become the new U2 in terms of ESPN's go to band for major soccer tournament theme songs ?

Balotelli has something to say about that :wink:

I agree that Balotelli deserves to be in the mix, but I still don't think anything tops this. My top three goals of the tournament are.

1. the Zlatan volley
2. Danny Welbeck's backheel against Sweden
3. Balotelli's against Germany (pretty sure it was Germany)
