    Cmon Balotelli. You can do it. 2 Headers in the next 45 minutes.

    Looks like Portugal was the 2nd best team in the tournament.

    Xavi is putting on a clinic and Ramos is making Balotelli his *****.

    Couldn't ask for more.

    IMO, I dont think Italy's offense with Balotelli in there is disciplined enough to come back from this.

    The further the game goes with Italy down 0-2, more out of control Balotelli will get.

    Tactical mistake by Italy, they should have flooded the midfield like the first game they played. Having three defensive worked agaist Spain. Also, Italy has quite a few injuries to deal with, De Rossi with his hand, Cheillini, and Cassano are all injured. Regardless I hope they make the tactical change cause playing them like every other team is not working. Pirlo not doing much either, he;s got to create.....

    Italy got away with it. That should have been a penalty.

    Eh no. Why? Because they got a draw against Spain? They lost to germany in the group stages.

    It is about match ups. Italy for some reason is a team germany just cannot seem to beat.

    Spain is playing great

    Main difference between Spain and Germany is right there. Their Central Defenders are solid enough to stop him. That is a weakness for Germany in my opinion. Hummels and Badstuber are not the greatest. Big hole for Germany.

    Game over. Congrats to y;all Spain fans!!! They did deserve it, boring as hell, but still one of the best teams in quite a while. They aren't quite as good as they used to be, doubt they will win the next world cup.

    Definitely need a healthy David Villa and Puyol to anchor the back line even though Ramos has held his own out of position.

    Loving it :)
