    Germany haven't hit top gear yet either. I think they'll just about beat Spain.

    Balotelli could be taking the goal kick with that sort of a shot!

    Pirlo is wonderful.

    but this game has shown just how completely tactically inept this England team under Hodgson is, that nobody has even tried to get near him.

    it's criminal, and unforgivable how the man who pulls every string for Italy has walked this game with little or no effort at all.

    Thing is we know Spain aren't at their best. We haven't seen Germany hit top gear yet except against rubbish in the Qualifying, so hard to know how much more is there. If Portugal met them again i'd fancy Portugal. Should've won the previous game between the two and they have improved as the tournaments gone on

    Engerland on penos and then to dig trenches and send Terry over the top against the old enemy.

    I'd say the German team are sitting back enjoying their beers watching this. Nothing to fear from either of them.

    One of the all time great international performances from Pirlo here.

    Would be a shame if he got knocked out after this

    I agree with you but I believe there is a lot more to come from them. They're at their best on the break where Spain look vulnerable. If they press them high up the pitch they'll cause Spain an awful lot of problems. It will be very close though.

    Anyway as long as one of them wins I win money so I don't really mind either way.

    If it goes to the usual script that expect England to win the shootout after a performance like that.

    If it gets to penalties I expect England to win. Balotelli is guaranteed to make a mess of his after his performance tonight.
