Euro-tastic! 2012!

GORDO! The EURO 2012 Trophy.

The Euro 2012 final is today, 1245pm on ESPN proper, Spain battling Italy for all the European soccer glory.

Glory awaits the winner! The Inquisition awaits the loser.

Will it be pasta or paella? Vespas or Bullfights? Mussolini or Franco? Spain should be a heavy favorite. They are going for their 3rd major title in a row, EURO 2008; 2010 World Cup; EURO 2012. No nation has ever pulled off the treble. They are playing at the top of their game and just know how to win. So PengoSports picks the Spaniards, right?

Hell NO! 

FORZA! ITALIA!

We'll take Italy to win just because they weren't even expected to make it out of the 1st round due to a hella match fixing scandal that is awaiting many of the players when they return home (yes we did pick the Netherlands to win it all at the beginning. Those bastards up and didn't win a game. But we did have them playing Spain for the title so we're almost shooting 50%).

They last time Italy had such a scandal they won the 2006 World Cup by screwing with Zidane and making him crazy in the head. Italians like chaos. Italy will do something to screw with Spain. Italy wins 3-2, or 5-3 if it goes to penalties, or 17-14 if they start playing American football.
