Has Del Bosque been the manager for all Spains triumphs?

Lawro will get a nasty shock in the morning too. Was crowing about having Torres at 16/1 for golden boot.

6 way split for that Lawro and you're getting less than 2/1

Aragones won Euro 2008 I think

He wasn't there in 2008 that was Luis Aragonés

[Chazza]

Buffon seems a decent chap, loves his country but gracious in defeat

[Imy]

No snatching and grabbing of the trophy, Spanish are a bunch of thoroughbred winners.

Thankfully after this performance we wont have to read articles about Tiki Taka being boring, ineffective, negative etc.

simply brilliant tonight. Spain are by far the best international team out there and La Ligua has the best club sides in the world.

Great football to watch

[Buzzo]

Amazing.

Its funny to think that for most of my life, Spain were total under achievers who never got near a final... And now this

They could easily keep this going and win the next WC, which would be some achievement. Back to back EC's and WC's

Ramos and Fabregas in Miki Roque t-shirts for the trophy presentation

Nice touch

[Muddled]

ITV talk about Spain being the first team to win three on the bounce, how does it get summarised before a break ...

It's now actually six years since we've seen someone else lift a European or World cup title.

Thanks Adrian. How insightful.
