Spain were simply unstoppable in the final of the Euro 2012 as they thrashed Italy 4-0 in what seemed like a completely one-sided game. Italy's defense was claimed to have had improved tremendously after the game against Germany where they contained a spotential German attack from scoring. But tonight we saw Spain tear their way through the Italian defense on no more than four occasions. Spain have prolonged their glory days as they've successfully defended their title of European champions by winning both the Euro 2008 and now Euro 2012.

 

The Spaniards were on a roll as David Silva, Jordi Alba, Fernando Torres and Juan Mata all scored a piece. Clever passing and splendid assists from the midfield is Spain's trademark game, but to see it work so well and accurately was simply mind-blowing to witness. David Silva started the massacre as hit a flashing header from a desperate cross from Cesc Fabregas in the 14th minute. Italy were on the back coot from the beginning and were desperate for an equalizer. The chances they successfully created were meager and no match for the likes of skipper and goal keeper Iker Casillas.

 

Just before the end of the first half, Jordi Alba scored Spain's second off a brilliant assist by Xavi Hernandez in the 41st minute. As the first half finished one could easily tell that the trophy was Spain's unless the Italians came up with a brilliant  response. But Spain had done their homework brilliantly, marking Mario Ballotelli from the start and containing Italy to provide any assist to him. Fernando Torres was substituted in the mid of second half and he gave his coach the response by scoring the third Spanish goal again off a clever through ball from Xavi Hernandez in the 84th minute. During the flurry of Spanish attacks, Antonio Cassano came up with the only aggressive shot from Italy making Iker Casillas stretch out for a desperate save. The last nail in the coffin for Italy was Juan Mata's goal who was on the field for no more than a minute but scored off a selfless assist from Toress just a couple of minutes later. 4-0 on the board and it looked like the Italians' dream journey was going to end in tears. The final whistle blew and the Spanish squad invaded the pitch filled with smiles and joy. Spain were the European champions yet again.

                         After the shocking departure of Rafa Nadal on day-4 and the mere escape of Roger Federer from a huge upset on day-5 , Day-6  at Wimbledon 2012 was being thought of as one of the cool days without much shocking out-of-nowhere moments.

                                                      The first men's match on Centre Court was scheduled to be played between the former World No.1 and 2009 Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick and the spirited Spaniard David Ferrer. Even before the match had begun, it was pretty clear that whoever would go on to wn the match wouldn't be doing so in straight sets.After a steady start from both the players in the first set, Roddick took the lead and raced away with the ser  6-2. David came back strongly in the second set and won it on tie-break 7-6(10-8). Ferrer continued to dominate in the third set and bagged it 6-4. In the fourth set, Ferrer maintained his form and didn't give the American any chance to get back in the match. Ferrer took the fourth set 6-3 and closed all doors for Roddick to move through to the next round.

A riveting match that saw arch-rivals India and Pakistan lock horns in the Final of the ACC Under-19s Asia Cup. After their group clash, which saw Pakistan pull off a one run win, both teams would be aiming to put this aside in order to boast Asian supremacy. In a match generally dominated by the Indians, Pakistan were able to pull off a thrilling last ball tie, with both teams sharing the spectacular trophy. Indian Captain, Unmukt Chand, called correctly and won the toss deciding to insert Pakistan into bat.

 

Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam and tournament top-scorer Sami Aslam walked out to bat and would have had a score of near 300 in mind in order to provide their bowlers with something to defend against a strong Indian side. Aslam scored his second century of the tournament to carry his side to a decent score of 282 with the help of a timely 48 from Umar Waheed.
