Spain’s Goalkeeper Wanted Mercy For Poor Italy

by Dan Fogarty | 10:25 am, July 3rd, 2012

In injury time of Spain’s 4-0 victory in Sunday’s Euro 2012 Final vs. Italy, Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas asked the referee asked for “respect for the rival” and to blow the whistle early. Casillas would get his wish, and Spain’s bloodbath of a win would be official.

So: respectful gesture of sportsmanship, or ARROGANT SPANISH SWAGGER?

    casillas knew his team was tired and there was no way italy could win so he wanted to cut it short.  nothing wrong there.
