EURO 2012: FINAL
SPAIN VS ITALY
TODAY AT 12.15AM
WHO WILL BE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE.....?
After 23 days, the stage is set for the grand finale of the European Championships. Pre-tournament favourites Spain will fight it out with the surprise finalists Italy in the final on Sunday. Have a look at the key battles that will decide the winner.
Xavi Hernandez vs Andrea Pirlo
Even though he has the best pass completion rate at the tournament, Xavi Hernandez is yet to make the kind of impact he did four years ago for Spain. Blame it on the long club season where he was sometimes sidelined by a nagging calf injury. He was replaced in the semifinal penalty shootout victory over Portugal due to fatigue. Spain is yet to beat Italy in the tournament, and for them to do so they desperately need Xavi to hit top form.
On the other side, Andrea Pirlo was at the centre of most of Azzurri’s goal attempts in the on-going tournament. The Italian playmaker dictated the tempo of the game from deep with short, sideways passes. Not to forget his role as a dead ball expert. Pirlo is key to Italy’s chances of adding another Euro title.
Andres Iniesta vs Daniele De Rossi
The creative midfielder spearheaded most of the Spain’s attacks in this edition and would do the same against Italy on Sunday. Andres Iniesta is yet to find the back of the net so far in the tournament but has the reputation of scoring in the finals. Considering his fitness level and his current form, Italians would struggle hard to stop those killer passes from the midfielder that would split open the best of defenses.
Daniele De Rossi is part of the midfield three and has the job of being a box-to-box midfielder. Although he was equally proficient in passing the ball around and has a great shot in him, what De Rossi is known for is hard tackling and breaking up play, which he has done brilliantly so far. Against Spain he was deployed as a central defender and was Italy`s standout performer, and if Prandelli does decide to revert to a 3-5-2, De Rossi will be back to doing what he does best, take his opponents out of the game. And if Iniesta is nullified, half the job is already done for the Azzurri.
Sergio Ramos vs Mario Balotelli
Sergio Ramos will be the man assigned to stop Mario Balotelli in the final match. He did it quite well in their opening fixture when Ramos came from behind to successfully tackle the Italian striker, when he was one-on-one with Casillas.
On the other side, unpredictable Mario Balotelli proved against Germany how destructive he can get on his day. He has scored three goals in the tournament so far, all in spectacular fashion. However, he had some terrible misses in the tournament as well, which makes him the most unpredictable at times. One could see an excellent contest between the two come Sunday.
Iker Casillas vs Gianluigi Buffon
Two goalkeepers - Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon - will lead their respective sides for the final on Sunday. Having won the 2006 World Cup title, Buffon can add another title should Italy beat Spain. At 34, Buffon pulled off some blinders against Germany in the semi-finals and denied them more than once.
Spain’s custodian Iker Casillas has conceded only a solitary goal so far in the tournament. He proved his worth against Croatia when he pulled out a stunning reflex save off Ivan Rakitic`s header. In the penalty shootout against Portugal he pulled off a save from Joao Moutinho to take the Spanish team to the finals. Often untested for large periods of the match, Casillas is always alert and comes up with the goods when called for.

The Amazing Spider-Man – review
The gear-shift in the superhero movie is now unmistakeable.
Where once they aimed to essentially replicate the experience of reading
a comic book, they now strive to be edgy, risk-taking dramas that do
more than simply pay lip-service to their characters' emotional lives.
The Amazing Spider-Man
is the fourth in the recent series, which began in 2002; it was
originally intended to be a continuation of them until original director
Sam Raimi left the project. Thus reborn, Webb's film has returned to
the meat of the first of Raimi's Spider-Man films: how grumpy suburban
teen Peter Parker has arachnid-like superpowers foisted upon him, then
turns crime-fighter and romancer, before facing off against a
transforming supervillain.
This Spider-Man film, which we are forced to call a "reboot", tinkers extensively with the story as presented by Raimi. Parker, as played by Andrew Garfield, is no hapless super-nerd, but a mumbling, shambling skateboarder who, though perhaps not extra-strength catnip to the ladies, has no trouble in catching their eye. Moreover, the central love interest here isn't girl-next-door Mary Jane Watson, but the considerably kookier Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), promoted from a more incidental role in Spider-Man 3.
Perhaps most radically, we are also introduced briefly to Parker's parents, never seen, and only rarely mentioned, in the Raimi films. Parker's abandonment issues have nevertheless loomed large in all Spider-Man films, and those looking for deeper shading of Parker's emotional make-up will no doubt be pleased to see them.
Be that as it may, Webb successfully treads a fine line between keeping the hardcore superhero-movie fans happy and injecting a dose of meaningful affect. Parker is generally reckoned to be the most "relatable" figure in the superhero canon, but the pastel-bright synthetics of the earlier movies did little to dispel the sense that the comic-book world could only construct its characters out of clunking great blocks of melodrama.
In re-engineering Parker into the introspective, uncertain male more typical of his previous film, Webb is aided by a terrific performance from Andrew Garfield, who brings a genial unflappability that allows him to negotiate the often-ludicrous demands of the superhero plotline. At the same time, Webb also shows an unarguable facility for the more traditional action elements of the story, and the 3D certainly helps: he pulls off some properly nauseating shots as Parker dives off skyscrapers, rescues kids from falling, and the like.
It's the successul synthesis of the two – action and emotion – that means this Spider-Man is as enjoyable as it is impressive: Webb's control of mood and texture is near faultless as his film switches from teenage sulks to exhilarating airborne pyrotechnics. It's only towards the end, when there is no choice but to revert to CGI – as Rhys Ifans' Lizard goes on the rampage – that The Amazing Spider-Man gets a little less amazing: cartoony reptilian carnage has just lost its power to enthral if it's rather obviously happening inside a computer.

That, anyway, is the theory; and it explains why the studios
turning them out have been hiring more and more unlikely directors to
see them through. Christopher Nolan, plucked to re-energise the Batman
series after completing the gritty, noirish Insomnia, may have started the trend, but Marc Webb – hired on the strength of a single film, the indie rom-com 500 Days of Summer – is arguably the most extreme example.
