Casillas is the best keeper ive ever seen in pk's

Originally posted by Von44 Torres wasn't playing cuz he already has a yellow card and if he got another foul he'd be out of the finals. So Spain was playing their guys strategically which is why I'm not surprised to see there was zero scoring this game.

That is a bold move considering it is win or go home. They made it but it was a boring game.

Wow, Balotelli with two sick goals! Can't believe what i'm watching. Germany choking again when it matters most.

It was a good game, and it warmed my cold bitter heart to see the shocked and dejected German fans at the end.

Italy played so well and earned that win. That is what is so fun about win or go home anything can happen. 

So, predictions peeps???

Seriously thinking the final won't be anywhere near as good as it could have been. Spain played boring as against Portugal and I hate the way Italy plays.

^Yeah I agree this finals should be a pretty exciting one to watch. May not be a high scoring game but exciting nonetheless. I'm predicting a 1-0 Italy victory. They've been playing really great over their last couple of games. I wasn't too impressed with the way Spain played Portugal even tho they sat out their big guns. But I'll be rooting for Spain just to shut up some of the guys at work.

Outstanding game! It can't be denied, Spain are on another level than anyone else in the world at the moment.

gonna be honest...that game was kinda weak

Originally posted by Migoo Outstanding game! It can't be denied, Spain are on another level than anyone else in the world at the moment.   All 4 goals were great. Particulary the 2nd by Alba. The speed of his run from the back, the through ball and the finish. Perfection.   Well deserved it must be said. Italy were completely outclassed, looks like they used all their luck in the semi.

The game was over after the 2nd goal..Italy didn't lose because of the man-disadvantage.

If you watched the game you know Italy lost because they were out played, not because for the dying quarter of the game they were down one man.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Spain, as of right now, is still in another class from all other international teams. Italy is actually in a down period compared with their precedent and i was actually shocked to see them get so far

Yeah, I didn't say that they did.  I said that it wasn't the blowout that it appeared since Spain scored two late while Italy was down a man.  2-0 isn't much of a blowout, but 4-0 looks like an absolute shellacking.

Spain won't win the 2014 World Cup.  A European country has never won a World Cup hosted in North or South America.  They just can't seem to figure it out.
