See, I told you they'd do it, didn't I?
I never had any doubt that they'd become the first nation ever to win three international tournaments on the spin.
Those of you who've been paying attention over the last month will know there's absolutely no evidence of me backing Spain in this blog.
I doubted. Sans Silva and Puyol I thought they'd struggle.
And at times they did, but in the final they shone like something very shiny indeed - like a perfect set of dentures catching a floodlight, perhaps.
Xavi and Iniesta always get the plaudits, whatever they are, and they are the driving force behind the success of Spain's best ever generation of footballers. Worryingly for everyone else, most of this squad has a couple of tournaments left in it.
Spain will win World Cup 2014. There, said it.

So, Who Will Win Euro 2012?
Office workers, stop working in your offices.
Labourers, stop labouring in your shorts.
Publicans, er... keep serving please.
I am about to announce the winners of Euro 2012 before the first kick of the tournament.
In generations to come, you will remember where you were when you read this, what pants you were wearing and how you were feeling.
In this crazy world that hasn't and may never happen, GERMANY will take on CROATIA in the final. It will probably be raining. The first half will be goalless, but in the second, there will be a brace for the same team, and at the final whistle, the players of CROATIA will fall to their knees and hail GERMANY as European Champions.

Who Will Win Euro 2012?
This is the question on the lips of everyone who's asking it.
It's the 60,000 dollar question that's actually worth a lot more than that.
Who will win Euro 2012?
At the start of World Cup 2010, I predicted this would be the final line-up.
And before this tournament starts, this blog will name the two teams I think will reach the final, and which one I think will emerge triumphant.
The answer may not surprise, nor delight, nor be anywhere near accurate. But it will be an answer, backed up by the flimsiest of evidence, insight and talent.
Pay attention to it at your peril. Ignore it at your leisure.
