England can't play football. i was glad they got it handed to them by Iceland.
Wales wanted it more tonight, or maybe it was that Belgium was too sure of themselves, but i think it's rather likely Wales will also beat Portugal. the latter deserves to get kicked out of the tournament already. their last night's game was shameful.

Italy won't beat Germany. we've gotten better with this new coach, but we're nowhere near the shape that Germany boasts.

there is no team that is going to beat Germany here. Germans are gonna take this home. deservedly so. their tactics and physical fitness is way ahead of the others. they're the best, there's no question about it.

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.
