:P

That second goal was really nice! Was the 3rd one a own goal?



The two second goals were by Luca Toni. Our offense has risen from the dead, and no opponent has scored on us yet. I'm savouring the semis on the 4th B|

I guess we'll be bitch slapping Portugal (the kings of the highway robbery) in the semi finals!:)

What a game.



Quite right. I enjoyed much of it. And, I'll say this - good job on the official at letting them play. I admired how he looked at fallen Italian players and motioned them to get up.

He made a couple of bad calls, though. The one giving Germany the direct towards the end of the regulation was a bit rough.

I'm rooting for France. First, my wife is rooting against them (she lived in France for a while and hates the French arrogance). Second, because of the French arrogance, I want Zizou to go wild (the French have maligned him somewhat).

Third, and most importantly - anybody but Italy. I think justice would be Italy losing by a goal, and the winning goal brought about because an Italian player dived and got no call, leaving the player he was defending to score the game winner.

Italian operas are great. Italian soccer players auditioning on the pitch for the lead in "Madame Butterfly" is lousy.

Edited to add: I do credit the Azzuri for a couple of legitimate goals. No controversy on those.

So did I -- diving disgusts me, even when it's my team doing it. How about Ballack's dive -- did you catch that one? That was brilliant.

You're just a few words shy of being a complete parrot. Don't forget to mention what Der Spiegel said about Italians being "parasites, mama's boys and slimy".

Wow, thanks for shedding light on those two winning goals -- the world was disputing them until your great authority on the game officially validated them. I really appreciate your swift attention to the matter and not leaving us hanging for too long there!

But seriously, you should get the "No Shit" statement of the year award for that one.

Thanks to all the haters during this tournament -- you've provided us with the inspiration to go this far. However my team may do going forward, I will be proud of them for going 24 games in a row unbeaten, for not letting an opponent score on us to this point, and for giving fans a fantastic performance in a classic match between two great sides.

Grazie Azzurri!!! You'll never walk alone!!! :)

Well, at least the first one at 119.

The second one, after Germany had already pushed everyone forward, had the cheap feel like when a hockey team pulls their goalie with a minute to go.
