well here we should talk about soccer like who is your favorite player ? who is your favorite team ? you can have up to 3 players and 3 teams but if you have 3 that means you dont like 1 better than the others and i might make a chart of wich teams and players are most popular here on AG

Sorry for all of you Italy fans but I think it would have been a much more entertaining match had Germany beaten Italy and faced Spain in the final.

Just my opinion though.

The only funnier thing is that Torres got the Golden Boot.

What up! And Spain played with almost no striker throughout. Achievement unlocked El Nino.

Don't they always play like that? Lol.

Italy's biggest mistake was taking on Spain like they were any other team. They should have focused more on defending rather than trying to score.

Just this competition. I was referring to Euro 2012 as a whole for them.

Why is it called soccer in America? Everyone else calls it football seeming as you use your foot to kick a ball. Even FIFA (The International Federation of Association Football) has football in the name.
Oh and congratulations Spain for your record of three international wins with the same team.

Hehe, cause the Brits call it soccer in the past.

But who cares...It's called football now. Football!

In my opinion its just a cultural thing. Just like many things words mean different things to different people. Like the word "cookie" in the u.s are called a "biscuits" in Europe.

I always go back to the phrase even if cheesy: "Its not about the name its how you play the game".

Not as prestigious, but there's nothing to watch, so might as well. Leagues are in their seasonal down time, so Olympics have to satisfy.

Kinda ticked off majorly, because RVP is being sold, or close to being sold, since he doesn't want to renew his contract....

Run for your lives fellow Gunners!

The US didn't get in for soccer? The men and the women?

Really? Arsenal has been losing all their good players. I guess they won't really be much of a threat now in the upcoming season if they lose him.

the women

I assume the women did. They always have a good team.
