In the real world, Italy dominating and obviously deserving (also hitting 2 posts), and England going home. Nothing new.
Pirlo made a joke of "the best goalkeeper in the world", Manchester City's Joe Hart, with the "cucchiaio" (spoon) penalty.
Italy played the double of the game, double ball possession (64%-36%), more than double passes (820 vs 340), etc. 35 shots vs 9...amazing.
Italia sprecona ma che li ha presi a pallate...
Balotelli wasted chances and the people got angry but he was always keeping busy their defence.
In the pub the Italian fans were singing "la Regina a pecorina" LOL (the Queen in doggy style :)
As I had predicted, England played defensive... I don't wanna hear any more English people saying Italy plays defensive, Noel Gallagher included, the other day, saying that we invented that style. Yes but it wasn't enough for lucky England (bye bye Kamara...), playing with barricades, the "catenaccio". If it was Italy playing that way, we would have been criticised by English tabloids for years.
And as I had predicted, it was an extremely correct, clean game, never seen one like this. Nothing bad happened between anyone.
The only regret is that they could have won in the 90 minutes without extra efforts. Now 4 days to Germany-Italy, Germany with 6 days to rest, Italy only 4, congrats Platini. Also the referee will be french...
It's an "impossible" game, but historically Germany always loses vs Italy (3-4 in 1970, 1-3 in 1982, 0-2 in 2006). This time @ Euro 2012 they're too strong, at least England is avoiding them.
Great day for Italy, also winning with Ferrari the Europe GP: an amazing race, Alonso from 11th to first position.
