The holders saved their best until last as they overwhelmed an Italy side that ran out of steam.
Wes Zetaruk is the champion of the 2012 UEFA European Championship Prediction Challenge! His prediction of Spain in the final allowed him to preserve his lead built up through the semifinals. Michael Poplawski likewise held his second-place spot, while Clint Lalonde, Doug Wansbrough and Annie Johnson found their way into the prize money with their choice of Spain in the final.
I hope you enjoyed the final game (where Spain dazzled with two more goals than any of us predicted) as well as following the tournament with the Prediction Challenge game.
As the Germans say, “Nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel”, or after the game is before the game. I hope to see you the next time a Prediction Challenge rolls around. European soccer begins in September with the Champions League, baseball fans can look forward to October, and you international-only fans can look forward to the 2014 World Cup.
