well here we should talk about soccer like who is your favorite player ? who is your favorite team ? you can have up to 3 players and 3 teams but if you have 3 that means you dont like 1 better than the others and i might make a chart of wich teams and players are most popular here on AG

Unless Pirlo is in form. He plays amazing when he's working.

He's one of the best center mids there is right now, but why does that matter if your players don't finish your passes?

As an Italian I can safely say we'll get destroyed.

I can assure you, if Italy loses today they'll go down with a good fight

O the humanity.

1)I cannot believe Italy won. I think Germany played better except for that dumb mistake that gave Italy their second goal.

2)Not saying that the refs were bad but who's idea was it to have a French ref?

3)If Spain doesn't win I will flip out. Italy isn't that good they got lucky and Germany shot themselves in the foot.

Italy won the match 2-1. I knew it! Italy has never lost against Germany in a major tournament and they have now extended this record to eight.

I think Germany played better except for that dumb mistake that gave Italy their second goal.

I don't think we were watching the same game. Italy played way better and they could have easily scored more goals.

Italy probably just shut the whole world up. Germany's defense was just awful today. I expected way more from Lahm, he did silly mistakes.

Epic celebration by Balotelli though, I thought he was the avatar when I seen the blue tape in his back.

Your talking about near the end, right? The only reason that was even a factor was that Germany had to put everyone on the attack to even have a chance at winning. If Germany didn't shoot them self in the foot by letting Italy get that second goal then Italy wouldn't have had as many chances at the end to score.

Plus you have to admit that a few times Italy was just really lucky that Germany didn't score.

Don't get me started. I don't like him at all and not just because he won Italy the game.

ITALY PLAYED BAD?

Are you kidding me?

Italy definitely came in guns blazing and Germany could not get through they're defence.

I'm probably a bit biast but I still think we should have won.

Please explain where I said that Italy played bad. O wait, I never said that. I just said that I think Germany played better.

Sorry, I'm just really hyped up.

Germany didn't perform, they're an amazing side and should have won, but Italy did deserve the win.

Here's why,

1. GK and defence play one of the best defences I've seen.

2. Germany couldn't finish

3. Pirlo, MOTM

4. Schwienstiger, what happened?

5. Amazing chances (On both sides)

6. Misplaced passes (Germany)

7. Ozil marked out of the game

You can't go and blame the referee, Italy's defence just played better.

I'll give you the GK part, but Italy's defense was playing kickball towards the end. They played like Chelsea in the UEFA, 11 man defense.

I am not. I just said why use a French referee? The refs were good but I still would not choose a French one when Germany is playing.
Italy's defence just played better.

We need England's defense and Germany's offense and then you would have a great team.

I am mostly mad because it ruined my perfect prediction streak.

Anyway, I was worried about Germany's defense from the start. Germany will always give up goals, they need to score to win.

Blame Jerome Boateng. His pathetic performance proved to be the difference.

I don't disagree. Italy was quite lucky. But we also have to give credit to Italy's goalkeeper. He was truly fantastic.

Yes he was. But what do you expect from the most expensive goalkeeper in the world?

Two words, Iker Casillas. He would be more expensive than Buffon.

From Wikipedia:
The most expensive goalkeeper of all time is currently Gianluigi Buffon (following his 2001 â¬52.29 million transfer to Juventus from Parma).
