Ah sure weren't the two finalists in our group, no wonder we failed.

HazDanz

In terms of defending. The Italian defensive performance has been the best I've seen in a long time. Really has been a joy to watch.

Nuri Sahin

You ****ing idiot

Washington Irving

Ref blew that early. Should have been another 30 seconds.

Deserved victory for Italy

nkay1985

Why Schweinsteiger didn't put that last free into the box, I'll never know.

What was up with Buffon at the end?

Well, shur no wonder Ireland did sh!te, both finalists were from their group :P

kingshankly

I don't understand it 98% of Irish people surveyed said Ireland would qualify ahead of Italy :rolleyes:

Jax Teller

Should have been way more added time than that .

aindriu80

we could have got an easier group in this Euro2012. Two finalist and Croatia we got !!

Nice to see Italia go through

Well spotted! He's very short isn't he?

Delighted Italy one. I hope so much that they beat Spain. I think it'll be good for Italian football after all of the match fixing scandal but more importantly, I'll win money! :cool:

Great performance from Italy. Pirlo and Buffon both had great games.

I'm upgrading the England defence on the back of that game!

Played it up the line when the ref was obviously just about to blow.

Italy thoroughly deserved their win.

Edit: sorry realised you were referring to Buffon. Question answered above.

70 something per cent said we'd beat Spain, I don't think those surveys/ polls are ever even close to accurate

25% actually

klose

Only caught the last 30 mins but overall Italy deserved it from what I hear. Sickned for Germany but they're a very young team so the future is bright!
Can't wait for Sunday now!

Hulk Hands

Have to say that both my ego and my pocket especially are delighted Germany finally got found out. I've been telling everyone who would listen for months, as well as on here and another forum, that Germany @ 3/1 for the tournament was a ridiculous price and that they were overrated. They were by far the best backed team for the tournament, which I find inexplicable at the prices

No, that poll said Could we beat Spain. Not Will we beat spain.
I think that the question was worded wrong.

just shows how ludacris that poland and ukraine got to be top two seeds. made two hard groups and two weak ones, time to scrap that rule

I think it's what they did before the tournament that that opinion is based off. Not many saw them doing nearly as well as they have based on their form pre-Euros
