尽管2012年欧洲杯足球赛的决赛是在基辅的奥林匹克体育场进行。但却难挡球迷们的热情，远在北京的足球迷们就在炎炎夏日纷纷加入到了这一盛事当中，一同体会足球所带来的快乐。

The 2012 Euro cup final was held at the Olympic stadium in Kiev. But far from there, football fans in Beijing also joined the celebrations.
Football and beer are here in force for the final match of the Euro cup. The bars of Beijing are packed for the event with football fans and supporters of both teams. Even as the clock ticks past 3a.m., the spirit of competition remains fierce.
A football fan said, "I have no doubt that Spain will win the final victory, it is unquestionable."
Another fan said, "I prefer Italy, I am a faithful supporter of Italy, partly because my husband is a supporter of Spain!"
And they're not the only ones who are in high spirits for the night.
A bartender said, "The business has been much better, with so many football fans hanging out to watch the game."
But eventually only one team could win, and though it proved to be a sad night for the losers, you can be sure their fans will be unlikely to give up on them.
One football fan said, "I still believe Italy is a strong team, and they will win again after they change their tactics."
The love of sports crosses borders, culture and language all at once. Here's a best wish for the next euro championship, and of course, the 2014 world cup in Brazil.
