It's simplistic to look at goals for and against. How about quality of opponent? Possession?
Italy was outplayed by USA, AUS and FRA last time IMO. SPA dominated every game they played, even the game they lost to SUI.
Not even close. SPA 2010 >>> ITA 2006
Most commentators are saying SPA is the deserving champion. This was not clear in 2006. ITA had to beat FRA on penalty kicks.
Italy wrote the book on diving.
More proof? I got out-thanked on you 6-1 on this point!

Passing 100 times is not domination. And then the one team Holland that stands up to them, Spain flop like crazy. I'm shocked Iniesta was able to score the winning goal cause it looked like every bone in his body was broken.
But to totally dismiss Italy's championship and praise Spain's is harsh I think. They both played defensively solid. If Italy had played exactly like Spain this tournament, they'd have been dissed again. Why does Spain get a free ride? And I friggin hate the way Italy, and Spain play the same, even worse.
The difference between Spain's championship and Italy's is 3 minutes.
