Today, many people who love football, will have mixed feelings. The Euro 2012 final will start at the NSC "Olympiyskiy" in Kyiv. It's a great big party for my city, you know! But at the same time I realize that this is the last match of the championship ... Holiday of nearly a month is coming to an end. It is unlikely in Ukraine would ever have European Championship or the World Cup later... Of course it brings me to light sadness.

Where have finalists been living in Kyiv

I would like to say a few words about what hotels have been selected for their residence. The Spaniards settled in one of the most luxurious hotels in Kiev, entitled "Opera", which is located in the city centre. By the way, a funny thing happened to me when I went home on Friday from his job in 3 minutes from this hotel. Euro 2012 bus with Iniest, Xavi, Fabregas and others pass by in 10 metres from me :)

Italy squad stopped at an unknown to me before that the hotel "Diarso." Their hotel is located at the border of Kyiv. Perhaps they apparently wanted to hide away from their fans :)

If we compare the prices of the cheapest hotel rooms of two hotels, it turns out that Spaniards living costs should be significantly more expensive.

• Opera - 400$ for one standard room
• Diarso - 130$ for one standard room

So their it is.

And now look at a small photo report made ​​yesterday exactly when the teams arrived at the stadium for the open trainings.

Stadium is ready for the Euro 2012 Final!

Well, it's me. Nearby the stadium :)

So, now the football evening. I plan to watch the final with a friend in one of Kiev restaurants. I hope that you will not miss this wonderful show!

Interestingly, if Spain win, it will set a world record: no team has won in three championships in a row (if we take the European Championship and World Cup together)!

I can't predict a winner, they have equal chances. But what's your forecast I wonder? :)

Excited to blog for you,
