Germany 1-2 Italy
Germany was not the Germany we saw the previous games. Was it because of Germany itself, having one of their worst days, or, was it Italy, having one of their best days? It’s hard to say…this is always a dilemma. However, for all the warnings they got, especially from the likes of Portugal and Denmark, Germany didn’t learn anything and didn’t take enough measures.
I feel it was more of a psychological roadblock for Germany. Italy had the upper hand, historically, and dominated Germany, even before the start of the game. We are only human…
The German players walked on the field with their “soft legs”, and – you could see the difference – they were slower than the Italians, and nothing worked their way. Winning and wasting 14 corners, to none of Italians, it’s so not-Germany.
Italy was such a surprise! – even for their own fans. A well-organized side, improved with each game, Italy looks more and more like a Champion. Spain must be worried.

I just think that Italy has some sort of mojo and they are hard to beat when all the chips are on the table.
