Was rooting for Germany, but not unhappy to see Italy win. Bit unlucky way to lose, so close to PK's, but that's the way it happens sometimes. Great match to watch, I'll definitely be cheering for France tomorrow.

Great game. Partly down to the ref letting it flow. Fifa will probably have him reffing Central American U21 games for the next year as punishment for not dishing out enough Yellows :\ohwell:
Was going for Germany, but Italy deserved it.
A quick word about Ballack.
Around 102 mins, he was involved in a supposed clash of heads.
But Ballack went up with his forearm which smacked into the Italian and then Ballack went down holding his head. ![]()
He should fit in just fine at Chelski ![]()

Nice goal indeed... and I had to appreciate the value of defense with the second goal, that's for sure.
Now the problem is, all the **** italians where I live will drive like crazy in the streets with their horns and flags...
Some forgot they are Canadians it seems.
Some of us are proudly both.
Fratelli d'Italia,l'Italia s'è desta...
FORZA ITALIA!!
I said a few days ago in the thread "Who will win" that ITALIA will be champion!

Making excuses because Canada is so bad at this ;)
If there was a game of Canada vs Italy, who'd you pick? ;)
I watched the game at the Fanmile in Dortmund. Before the game you can only see a few italians. And after the game it seemed to be, there are only italians in the streets. I think, Italien was a little bit better. Germany seemed to be tired from the Argentina Match.

Remis. Italy would slow down a little bit. :D
Great game... To reuse my earlier cliche - t'was football that was the real winner... Credit to the ref for letting the game flow, and to both sides for trying to win it by playing attacking football... Sad to see Germany go out, but just hope the final is played in the same manner...
SHEDi xxx
Nice, stirring game!
Bit unlucky in the end, but what do you expect when the German team only wanted to get to the penalties in the extra-time, and the Italians really tried to win the game... That was the difference.
The ref really was good.
Worst thing was, that were I was watching the game they sold something they called "beer" but in fact it was cow's urine...
Feel a bit sick now, hope I'm up for Liverpool.
Fantastic game of football, probably the right result at the end of the day, but I have been very impressed with the way Jurgen Klinsmann has reinvented German football as a free-flowing attacking game. Excellent stuff.
Well, it was a hard fight. Weeks ago we lost 1:4 against Italy - so this was big progress. I didn't expect that our team would get this far before the WM. So congrats for a suprisingly good job.
And now it's up to France to win the trophy :) .
at least Jurgen acts like a coach on the touchline.
unlike that con-artist Sven.
shades of 82 again for Italy.
Lookin forward to watchin the final in ROMA on Sunday! Just a bit worried that there's gonna be no taxi drivers working to get me from the airport.

Do you think they'll be in good form to play the 3rd position match? ![]()

Who cares for the 3rd place? Me, not. Saturday I will be in Liverpool. :D
