On it goes: Ramos going into a challenge with a stretched leg/high foot whil Parolo is sliding in......Spain get the foul?!
Ramos & Pique could have seen red already

This ref gets the big games in the CL every season and i've never understood why, he makes so many bizarre decisions.
Fabregas poor all season, never worked well woth Busquets and Iniesta; starts every game for some reason. Spain struggle with no options up front. Italy make do with whatever they've got, it's very impressive.

Definitely should have taken that 16/1 on Italy before the tournament.

Germany will find Italy tough. Enjoyed that game very much. Top pundrity from Vialli and Murphy as co commentator too imo.

Best game I've seen this tournament. What a performance. Ref wasn't up for it again though, should have been 3 reds for Ramos, Pique & Motta.
I hope Italy go on to win it. Or France for Dimi.
By the way: if you did not know yet :Buffon is a legend.

Will they? Not too sure about that. Germany played blinding stuff yesterday. But it will be curious to see if a team of that calibre can break down that perfect 3-5-2 formation.

I wouldn't bet against Italy vs Germany. It's a toss up in my mind. When you've got the top defense and keeper at club level in Europe as your battery at international level, you're going to be very difficult to beat.
