ITALIA! ITALIA!

The roar of the small crowd in the stadium... The perfect sucker punch. The perfect counter-attack. Even the tough German players are reduced to tears.

As I had forseen, Cannavaro is still the best, so is Buffon!

Major upset, although I was jumping in A1107 after the 2nd goal by DelPiero... I was so afraid that they might equalize in the last minute and force the game into penalties. Sadly I have no faith in Italy when it comes to shootouts... The Germans are better at that...

Lucky though, the timely strike, not early, yet not late to win the game, saved Italy. An early goal would result in 80+minutes of defending, and the enemy team will eventually find the net to force extra time, and in extra time, the opposing team will triumph over a deflated Italy side... Luckily though, the 118th minute... Just nice!
