Super fucking Mario Balotelli should all his potential and then some today. 21 years old and making plays like that? He is destined to be one special world-class player in his career.
Loved me some Gigi today. He was so calm, cool and collected like we all expect in the net. Him an Pirlo have aged like fine wine.
Bring on the Italians. Spain is ready for the rematch. They havent conceded a goal in an elimination game dating back to like 2008. Xabi Alonso will be a critical piece in the match and I think he will have a good game. Time for the trifecta!
Great goal by Spain, they are really putting the pressure on Italy. Great start and its only 13 minutes in. Spain are playing great right now, just gotta keep picking and choosing the spots to score.
2-0 Spain, they are playing with great pace and there is so much open space that the Spanish are taking advantage of. The Italians will have to start forcing the issue to tie it and thats going to open up even more opportunities.
Spain has won 3 major tournaments in a row which has never been done before. They won without David Villa, Carlos Puyol, and Ramos playing out of position at CB instead of RB.
Definitely the greatest team in the sport of soccer to be so dominant for the past 8 years under 2 different coaches. Wow we are witnessing a spectacular time in soccer. Simply amazing how great Spain played today.
