    Henry was spot on. I wouldn't be that surprised if Iceland beat France anyway.

    I wanted Italy to win but part of me is glad they didn't after Zaza doing that. Conte must want to punch the *.

    What a game.

    Will never understand these players who do the stupid run ups or try and be cocky. There's only one way to take a penalty for me and it is to smash it right down the middle or in a corner.

    Chances are the keeper will move in some way, shape or form. As Neur showed for all of his pens.

    Can't be too disappointed with that. Germany deserved to win on the balance of play.

    Zaza though... porca puttana

    Benny Hill music should've been played for that shootout, woeful.

    A pressure situation like that will do things to players, some are better at holding their nerve than others.

    I know mate but after the first few pens if I was an Italian player I'd be telling the next taker to smash it or at least keep it right into the corner if he can. Neur was doing the same thing every time.

    When you think about it, the chances of a keeper not moving at all are pretty low.

    Zaza and Pelle were an embarrassment, especially for two strikers. Pelle will look back on that for years to come and cringe.

    Pelle acting the * and then making a total * of his penalty was brilliant. Delighted the Germans went through. Hard to see past them now!

    I think Germany have a better chance of winning the tournament than Italy would've done had they won tonight.


    If that makes any sense :icon_mrgreen:

    Assuming the French go through(which is in no way guaranteed) they could cause Germany problems. Yet to have that 'big' performance.

    It is hard to see them losing this now though, I agree.

    I'm still yet to be fully convinced by Germany, think they looked quite disjointed in the final third tonight although I guess you could say the same for Italy. End of the day the winner of the Germany-France/Germany-Iceland match will more than likely be crowned champion at the end.
