EURO 2012, Day 7 conclusions by the Soccer Crusader

Italy 1-1 Croatia, The unpredictable Italy

Pirlo proved he still has the magic and pulled a work of art, with the first goal from a free kick at this tournament. Beautiful! It was an entertaining first half, with Italy at the lead. But, they pulled back too early, though. They invited Croatia to come out and got a great response. Again, don’t take anything for granted! And play to the last minute.

Spain 4-1 Republic of Ireland, One sided game

Spain offered us an impressive performance against Ireland.  It was a game without a real history, Ireland was never a threat. Torres got his first start up and confirmed the confidence he received. One note – hats off to the Irish fans.  Too bad for them – Ireland, the darlings of ESPN’s commentators, could not put up a fight and will go home.
