GOD DAMN IT!
the referees were so bad and germany was MUCH better than italy
kroos should have started for schweinsteiger and reus on kroos' position
italy won with luck, referees on their side and a wall-tactic after they scored

Hey come on! At least we kicked Holland back into the ocean. I mean it was the semifinal of the EURO. That's not bad. In two years maybe. They're still young, 2014 maybe. And maybe we will revenge for this....

I'm Italian and maybe I'm a bit biased, but I feel that Italy really deserved this victory. Germany wasn't exactly up to par, in fact I would've honestly expected a bit more from them. If we didn't screw up a couple of chances, I'm pretty sure we could've scored even more goals.
Also saying that the referees were on Italy's side is a bit too much, seeing how Germany got a VERY thin penalty kick. :P

yeah, german defense wasnt that good in first half, but they had so many chances and they have gotten in front italy would have lost high
ive expected a bit more from ger too, though, hadnt had their best day
the penalty was ok i think and the yellow card for hummels was never ever deserved, you saw in the replay that the italian guy pushed him

Ci avete fatto sognare di nuovo. Grazie Balotelli: Irrequieto ma insormontabile. Grazie Pirlo: Calmo ed efficiente. Grazie Buffon: un mito. Grazie Cassano: un grande. Grazie ragazzi.
We had so many opportunities and, unfortunately, we wasted a good 2-3 goals, but in the end we did it.
Bella!

i dont really know what you said there but buffon was very bad, he only rescued 1-2 times and was very lucky 2-3 times
he had big problems with distance shots

Honestly , in this match i only saw 1 keeper playing very bad and that one was Neuer.
I don't tell that he could do something on the first goal , because was impossible to catch the ball in that case, but on the second one he has remained firm like an idiot

Not gonna say much to the match, just this : Italy wasn't the better team today. They were lucky to have the two goals. Still, their victory was not undeserved. Eine letzte Sache : Neuer ist König! Der hätte bei der letzten Aktion noch ein Tor gemacht! C'est la vie!

ja seine mittellinien-aktionen waren wieder sehr unterhaltsam :D

Buffon was great. Neuer was also very good. I think it was a very even match and Germany could have won aswell. They didn't and Italy deserved to advance.
I don't know what Löw had in mind with his line-up. It obviously didn't work.
Even though the outcome wasn't the referees fault, he was extremely bad. I don't know where UEFA finds these guys!?
Anyways these two were the most interesting teams in the tournament. I'm tired of these taka-tiki finales. I really hope Italy wins the tournament.

We had a sweepstake at work, if Spain win on Sunday I think I'll get about ¥37,000!
I can't watch the match because of the time difference, fingers crossed though!

Neuer's ball possession Too bad the game was ended before the last free kick. He would've scored! :D

Who is going to win the EURO? Who is going to win my hidden giveaway?
a) I think it's Italy. Even if I don't like them.
b) We will see, in 1 hour...

I think both teams deserve to win the cup and both are able to win today.
But of course there can only be one winner, so I hope for Spain:
ESP 1 - 0 ITA

So Torres aka the man who never scores is the best goalgetter. :/
That says much about the defensive character of this EURO. That happens when you play the best football tournament in the world. Btw. this will be the last time, that the EURO is the strongest tournament. Thanks Platini for makeing a 24' tournament! We saw that teams like Ireland totally can mess up with the big ones...
Spain's win was of course well deserved, they have the best team, even if they play their "Tiki-Taka" not offensive anymore. Let's see what the future holds. I doubt, that Spain can defend their title in 2014. Brazil probably wants to win @home. ;)

Medicore, why? There wasn't as much defensiv play as in last tournament. Many great goals and fun to watch matches. Suprises like Russia/Germany out. And of course best supporters on tournament organizers stadiums and streets (unlike BBC said).
