I fancied the Italians to go all the way this year, but last night they were plain disappointing. Almost as if they played for penalties from the start. It was a terrible game to watch. And that guy Toni has probably had more chances in this tournament than most teams put together and he failed to score any of them.
Sad to see the World champions deal out that style of football. Sure they had a few suspensions and injuries but they still have the talent to play an open attacking style of play. Instead they close to lock down Spain and try and score on the break, set-plays. It was a disappointing performance and strategy and I was happy to see Spain win through on penalties. They at least tried to take the game to Italy.
