    Germany
In summary, Germany was unlucky not to win the game. Italy played a great game, with excellent refereeing.

Time for the fireworks!

(though, if Klose would be kind enough to not score, I'd appreciate it)

Half-time 0-0

Great game!

These guys are getting physical. Interesting rollover by one of the Italians.

Italy is currently getting the best of it. We'll have to see what the second half brings.

So close for Germany!

Excellent refereeing!

These guys need to stop taking dives. :grumpy:

And what's this grabbing the head business? :rolleyes:

Heck I kissed ball a few times - didn't stop to worry about it!

I suppose. The ref (more or less) gave Italy the chance to go into overtime.
 
  • #8
I was thinking up through half-time. There was quite a bit of contact and diving - and refs made some good calls.
 
  • #9
Ouch. Italy is pretty unlucky now...
 
  • #10
So close! Twice for Italy! Right post, then cross bar.

Germany feels the pressure.
 
  • #11
Podolski loses it! 2nd OT.
 
  • #12
Podolski should have scored that late chance! That was a free header so close to the goal. I hope this game doesn't go to penalties.
 
  • #13
Wow! Amazing game!
 
  • #14
Wow, it's getting hot now...

Wow! The best two minutes of the WC! The goalkeepers, however, were the pick of the lot...great saves.
 
  • #23
what a game!
 
  • #24
Classic game.
 
  • #25
Why did they bring in Del Piero so late? He always fires up the game!

Good finish by Italy. Methinks the Fates smiled upon them for playing 2 hrs without excessively throwing the elbow.

FORZA ITALIA!

YES YES YES YES :) I am so happy, I watched that game with a German Mate of mine :) hehehe... Italy outplayed them, what a defence!
 
  • #27
As I said from the beginning, Italy will win this tournament!:wink:
 
  • #28
The Italian Center-Back is unreal.
 
  • #29
Great match, i really enjoyed it. I was surrounded by two Italian collegues who were just,...well,...you know...very happy :)

IMO, Italy indeed outplayed Germany by generating more chances and playing a marvellous defensive game. The Germans just couldn't get through. Great second goal by del Piero BTW. I remember him pulling the same thing off (scoring after coming in very late) in the European Cup in 2000 i believe.

TANTI AUGURI A TUTTI GLI ITALIANI

Yeah! Italy put the pressure on Germany, but the German attack on the Italian box was rather weak.

Even after Odonkor came in (rather late), the German attack was relatively weak. :rolleyes:

They need to work on their diffusivity in the box. :biggrin:

Yep, i completely agree, that was a big mistake by Klinsmann.

Now, let's see tonight. Everybody expects France to win (well, me too) so the final might be France Italy...

ALLEZ LES BLEUS !
