… and ‘Spain are the new Champions of Europe’ defeating the mighty Germany thanks to the one and only goal by Fernando Torres. Seems like Spain has finally assembled the killer team they’ve longed for - I’ve never seen a Spain team with as much firepower as this one. They were running riot throughout the tournement! And thank god Fernando Torres plays for Liverpool…

Anyway, a big big congrats to all Spaniards! Awesome football.

Well, hey, hey, hey! Finally, the revealing of Hot Toys ‘Dark Knight’ Batman! Despite being a pretty early prototype, the top half of the suit is already looking very, very tastey!
