I wouldn't say boring, even when they play with no one up front and 6 midfielders the sheer elegance of passing is something to behold, but tonight they showed they can be ruthless in front of goal, no doubt Italy going down to 10 helped a lot.
On the plus side, one for trophy the Spanish can melt down to pay off their Euro bailout

Being able to keep possession like Spain and Barcelona players is a great skill which few encourage in the UK. However, it should be a means to an end, rather than an end in itself.
