It's finally the last day of 2012, and as we get teary-eyed about the eventful year that has passed, it's also the perfect time for Reflections and Rewards!
From breakthroughs to breakdowns, victories to the villains who set tongues wagging, unbelievable goals (Hello, Ibrahimovic!
If the early history of the European Championships can be seen as explicitly wrapped up in the
politics of the time, then Spain's victory on home ground in 1964 European Nations Cup could be
regarded as one of international football's ultimate flashes in the pan.
This was a victory that was simultaneously the last gasp of one of the greatest club sides that
European football has ever seen and the beginning of a lull that would last for more than twenty
years, a brief victory for the ultra-nationalism that blighted Spanish political life for the most
of the four decades that followed the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939.
Three of the Chelsea boys managed to make it on the scoresheet for their international teams on
Friday as we continue the agonizing wait for the Premier League to resume.
Juan Mata managed to beat the offside trap against Petr Cech's fellow defenders, latching on to
a nice pass and slipping the ball past his club's number one as Spain ran out 2-0 winners over the
Czechs.
With luminaries like Don Diego and Juan Roman Riquelme in attendance Boca bade a moist eyed
farewell to the heroic figure of Martin Palermo striding on the pitch in his superman cape.
Sergio Batista is contemplating a proper international send off for Palermo in the friendly
against Albania before the Copa America begins.
England became the seventh team to qualify for EURO 2012 on Friday on a night when Russia and
Greece took huge steps towards joining them and the likes of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina
ensured top-two finishes.
Last month holders Spain and former European champions Italy, the Netherlands and Germany
ensured their finals berths alongside co-hosts Poland and Ukraine, and to that number can be added
England after their 2-2 draw in Montenegro settled Group G.

Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez scored a goal apiece as a star-studded Argentina defeated modest
Albania 4-0 on Monday evening at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. Messi also added two
assists in a Man of the Match Performance. The match was the last warm-up for Argentina before it
hosts Copa America 2011 in July.
With Argentina 3-0 up against Albania and with only ten minutes left on the clock, Lionel
Messi's 'Maradona gene' went hayway again...
Regardless of whether wee Cheaty McCheaterson was attempting to put the ball in with his hands
(he blatantly was), far more note-worthy is the preceeding 'clearance' which is quite possibly the
worst attempt at line-clearing I've ever witnessed!
