Italy did play better. But I can proudly say that we put up a fight. I think Italy deserved to win 1 - 0, the 2 - 0 brought tears to my eyes.
Im going back to Germany on Saturday, and I was hoping it would be in an uplifted mood, but I guess i'll just have to bottle it up.
Im glad it was a fair game, both sides treated each other pretty well!
Best thing for me now is to be good loser on not get too upset!
I'll see you all on this thread before Sunday.
I'll leave with a quote from the Fifa website:
"Only a couple of superbly-executed Italian goals could separate these two very evenly-matched teams on a high of high drama in Dortmund. Once again, Marcello Lippi’s side defended magnificently and the superb Gianluigi Buffon has still to concede a goal at Germany 2006 from an opposition player. However, while it is the Azzurri who march on to the Final, Germany - beaten in Dortmund for the first time ever - can reflect on their FIFA World Cup™ campaign with pride, having played throughout with spirit and skill in abundance."
