Wales beat Belgium in the Euro quarter finals :)

And Germany got their revenge... Made my day.

yeah, i'm very glad too, (very un-Italian, i know).

the real score was 1-0, of course. penalties never reflect the true game. Germany owned the game pretty much throughout (although it wasn't easy for them to accomplish that). Italy got lucky with the penalty, but they still didn't know what to do after that or how to use it to their advantage.

it would have been such a shame if Italy had gotten through on the penalties. because Germany absolutely deserved to win. i love the way Germany plays, theirs is truly beautiful and an elegant style of play, that it's a pleasure to watch them on the field. and this is a very rare thing. compliments to Joachim Löw, who's really mastered the art of managing a team.
