Ronaldo doesn't exactly have a fantastic track record in shoot outs anyway.

IIRC he usually takes one of the last few penalties.
Surprising half time score. Pirlo is amazing and both Balotelli's goals had nice finishes.
Anyone still want to say this Italy side isn't all that? *they'll probably play terrible in the final now*
Well the poll in this thread sure got told.
Also Donal overtook me in fantasy football :argh:
Who else voted for Italy?
Gotta say, was really impressed by Italy today.
Germany looked flat and boy, their defense definitely looked shaky at times. The better team won.
Michael Ballack on ESPN said that he thought Low overmanaged the squad by changing the lineups a bunch and that may have played a part as well. It is quite telling that Klose still seems the most confident striker they have.
Italy - Spain is a fascinating match in and of itself now. I think Italy will be supremely confident that they can attack Spain and clog the midfield up, much as they did to England and at times to Germany. Pirlo deserves player of the tournament unless someone plays truly outstanding in the final and even then, I still think he's earned it.
In the end, my heart wants Italy but my head is saying Spain find a way.
Take care all.
Fair play, Italy bossed that game. They were poor against England but proved they have a bit about them tonight. I'm glad because my bet on a Spain v Italy final came through and confirmed that I've made at least a £35 profit on this tournament. Let's have a look at those Wimbledon markets...
I had Germany in my sweep and they smurfing bottled it the :bou::bou::bou::bou:s. I'm out 50. Every German can go smurf themselves.
yes i did not expect that
but italy was buono
Spain 0 votes.
Man we sure know what we're talking about. Also I forgot to do my FF team for the final. :(
Bah. The way Spain play isn't boring. What is boring is seeing no bloody team able to score against them and/or give them any sort of a challenge.
good times everyone
see you in 4 years
interesting to have watched a game where two (three?) new records appeared
Wouldn't have mattered, Alba as captain (28 points) :smug: When will someone rise to the plate & snatch a title off the Sugarkids?!Quote:

Spain apparently now the greatest international team of all time. So then, Cuchulainn, how do you rate them compared to Brazil 1970 when you were first picking up your pension?
