- Italy is honestly a spectacular team they dominated England which is a fairly good team with 759 passes completed to only 309 passes from England completed. Andrea Pirlo is an amazing aspect to the sport how he dominated yesterday having the guts to attempt that shot and succeed is honestly amazing. also Italy had 35 shots while England only had 9 shots which shows the differential between of who had the ball the majority of the game. With that shot from De Rossi from all the way out hitting the post shows how effective Italy can be close up and far away with young Balotelli and Andrea Pirlo. So i think we can all come to an agreement and say that Italy was the better more dominate team in this one.
- On second thoughts perhaps my comments on the manager were a little unfair however it an average performance overall
- Italy adapts well against their opponents. Italy controlled the game against England and failed to Capilalize and execute on atleast 4 occasions (not including DeRossi’s post). They will have to focus against Germany and convert on the many opportunities. Italy will prevail, having talent and sheer will, and history on their side. Smart bunch these Italians, don’t count them out. Adapting to their opponent is priceless in soccer, a trait that Germany fails to recognize.
- P,s.Pirlo was not allowed to roam, it’s talent. The Matisse of soccer, imagination and talent. It’s a pleasure to see him design the plays. He needs to be more aggressive against Germany and bend them in there. He’s pretty good at that too. The German defense will have alot of work to do against the maestro Andrea.
- Moto Guru, I appreciated what u said !
U are tha man ! - Personally I am not a football fan but I must say never before in the world of football has anyone and I guess anyone ever will take the penalty the way it was taken by Pirlo on sunday the 24th June 2012 absolutely magnifito “cool”. I was at Neasden temple on saturday the 23 June and a young boy age 8 or 9 years had tee-shirt on with ITALIA written on it and perhaps I guessed than it will be them who may win. May the best team win on Wednesday the 27th June 2012. I wish Italy and Jermany the very best. From,Kanchan.
- Sorry to see England lose after that great display against a tough Swedish side. But there is no doubt that Italy were the beter side on the day.Penalty shoot outs are a grim way to decide a game but I suppose there is no other workable way to do it. Still the result was a fair one. Italy deserved to win and I hope they beat Germany. If Germany play their usual boring, unimaginative game, as if they are advancing on a battlefield to grind the enemy down, then Italy has a good chance to beat them using skill, speed and surprise.
- my mum is italian and my dad is english so you can imagine the tension in our house last night!
My dad was talking tactics, formation etc. My mum was shouting “kick it” at the TV every 3 mins
Italy won on penalities. Big plate of pasta for tea tonight yayyyy! - With national teams, this is perhaps displaced, Peter. A portuguese club won the then called Cup of European Champions in 1961 and 1962. Afterwards, 5 times they got the final and… 5 times they lost it! You know very well the meaning of this words. Best wishes and thanks for the kind words about Eusébio, the “Black Panther”, hero of my country.
- Oops… * These words.
- England have already achieved a miracle by reaching the Quarter-Finals of Euro 2012 with a bunch of overrated, overhyped and overpaid players who lack basic footballing skills and composure to score from the penalty-spot. How most of them even make a living from professional soccer is beyond me. England’s shocking inability to retain possession, and route one tactic of practically bypassing their midfield belongs to the Dark Ages of the game. If the national team still harbours a realistic hope of winning honours on the international stage, they have to revamp their youth academy. In order to achieve success in the near future, England has to ‘naturalise’ at least half the starting line-up with some of the many talented uncapped foreign players in the Premier League. These foreign talent will raise the game of the English players, and even cover up their shortcomings.
- If Ashley Young is as prolific at taking penalties as he is at diving to win them, England would be in the last 4 at Euro 2012.
- I knew that once it got to a penalty shoot out that we would lose. In fact we should have lost in the first 90 minutes never mind extra time. England did very well in defence and that is a great credit, but we could build up momentum.In the last 10 minutes of the game I was just waiting and hoping that Italy would score and get the result they deserved. I would have been much happier if Italy scored in the last minutes of the game without us facing the penalty shoot out humiliation again.As much as I wanted England to win, I just wanted Italy to finish the game in normal time (or at least extra time)
- Replaying to Andy……………………instead to talk about Italy-Germany think about your team lost. Big players name but really a below average British Team!
- Germany is stronger than Italy under every aspect nevertheless Italy has various chances to produce a winner soccer!
- Andy wrote: “Germany will dispatch Italy with ease”ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
so funny - This Stefano, from the U.S.A. but maybe with Italian origin , is as good in humour and forecast as the great Alfredo di Stefano, player of Real Madrid in the sixties of last century. The last came to Spain from Argentina, if my memory is still working.
- Well, the syntax sometimes is tricky… I’m not sure that A. Di Stefano was good in humour too! But as soccer player he won several cups of European Champions.
- PIRLO IS THE MASTER OF THE GAME!!!! LONG LIVE MAESTRO!! WHATTT A PLAYER!!!

Italy once again proved to be Germany's nemesis after Mario Balotelli struck two first-half goals to set up a UEFA EURO 2012 final against Spain on Sunday.

Joachim Löw's side came into the semi-final full of confidence having swept all before them in Poland and Ukraine, but perhaps lingering at the back of their minds was the fact that Germany had never beaten the Azzurri in seven competitive meetings. That tally is now eight after Italy produced a wonderfully measured performance with Balotelli at its heart.
Cesare Prandelli's side neutralised Germany's dynamic approach, and found their No9 in clinical form. The striker headed his side in front midway through the opening period and doubled the advantage nine minutes before half-time. Germany threw everything at their opponents after the restart, but their breakthrough came too late, Mesut Özil converting an added-time penalty that only offered fleeting hope.
Prandelli has described his side as a work in progress but, after surviving a nervous opening, they were soon looking like the finished article. In the early stages, only Andrea Pirlo's torso stopped Mats Hummels giving Germany the lead, and then Andrea Barzagli watched helplessly as Gianluigi Buffon's parry ricocheted off him and just past the post. Italy soon found their stride, though.
The busy Riccardo Montolivo forced Manuel Neuer to stretch, before Antonio Cassano had the goalkeeper going the other way. Özil and Toni Kroos, on his first start of the tournament, tested Buffon again, but the Azzurri were looking the more dangerous side. In the 20th minute, they made it count. Pirlo, ever the instigator, swung the ball out to left-back Giorgio Chiellini who fed Cassano. The No10 tricked Hummels and delivered an inviting cross. With the door was wide open Balotelli merely needed to put his head on it as it flashed past Neuer. It was Italy's first UEFA European Championship semi-final goal on their fourth appearance.
Germany reacted as expected for a team who had won a world-record 15 straight competitive games. Özil made Buffon work, and Federico Balzaretti just cleared Jérôme Boateng's dangerous centre. Prandelli has urged his team to resist sitting on a lead on all tournament, and the second duly came – although it was a classic Azzurri counterattack.
Buffon had just made a flying save from Sami Khedira, and batted away the resulting corner which Montolivo picked up. The new AC Milan recruit looked for Balotelli straight away, his ball over the top evading Philipp Lahm, and the striker sped away to rifle a shot into the top corner for a finish every bit as emphatic as his first.

Löw had proved in his starting XI he was not scared to tinker with his personnel, and made changes at half-time, Marco Reus and Miroslav Klose coming on. Reus's first involvement was a effort on goal and then Lahm could only lift his shot over when well placed. Özil got to the byline, but Khedira got in a tangle.
Buffon's fingertips just did enough to send a Reus free-kick on to the bar and away to safety, yet Balotelli was still a menace at the other end and Claudio Marchisio nearly made it three on two occasions. As German belief ebbed away, Antonio Di Natale had a clean run on goal only to fire wide.
Balzaretti handled in his own area with time running out and Özil finally beat Buffon, but it merely offered forlorn hope. Löw's side may have been the tournament's great entertainers, but it is Italy who are in Sunday's final after once again being Germany's bogey team.
