盡管2012年歐洲杯足球賽的決賽是在基輔的奧林匹克體育場進行。但卻難擋球迷們的熱情，遠在北京的足球迷們就在炎炎夏日紛紛加入到了這一盛事當中，一同體會足球所帶來的快樂。

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.
