We're an hour into the Euro 2012 final, where Spain are cruising 2-0 against Italy. The Azzurri have used all of their substitutes, and Vicente del Bosque feels like he's being left out of the party. Off comes goalscorer David Silva, in goes Pedro, who's been pretty good so far this tournament. There's probably not a good tactical reason for the switch -- Pedro's more prone to defending, but there won't be that much more to do here.
