i watched a clip of the highlights of the germany and italy game.

podolski should have done better with that header. and that shot after he turned materrazi out. what a nice turn, but wasted his own effort with that shot.

grosso's goal was well-taken. pirlo took his time. it was a good pass, but i think the key thing about this goal was that no one noticed that grosso was unmarked IN THE BOX. i think that's a bit insane. it's the veto factor why they got the goal; not due to pirlo's genius. of cos he did very well to thread the ball tru 3 players, but i think if u were in his shoes and saw grosso, you would have went for the pass.

and when del piero got that second goal, they showed a fan in tears.




that scene affected me alot.
