Germany DIDN'T beat Italy (explanation inside)

I didn't hear any car horns in the streets, so that's a clear win to me.

that's nothing new you're saying here. Italy didn't win against France in the 2006 World Cup Finals, and yet they won the tournament. and that's a fact. what's your point? no matter how you turn it, Italy is out, get over it buddy, life goes on...

Madonna che schifezza quei rigori...

Germany didn't beat Italy in a football game. They beat them on a shoutout. Italy did LOSE to germany though. When it came to it, Italy choked harder than Germany.

Doesn't matter, germany won, italy lost.

You can't say you don't eat cause you use a teaspoon...

lol nitpicking at it's best.
You have to admit though that Germany knocked Italy out of a tournament for the first time. That's all what matters in the end.

But is Italy in the semi-finals? No :^)

So when the kicks from the penalty mark not counts .... Germany won the match with 1:0 !

My best friend from childhood days, Marcello, half German & half Italian, clearly said Germany won :P

But I got your point... Penalty schoot-outs always have such a lucky-draw taste.

In this case however, I at least feel like Germany has won, not because of the shoot-out but the handplay-penalty in the regular time.

• Consider a tough foul - ☑ Penalty is deserved
• Consider a defender actively wiping a ball with the hand out of the danger zone - ☑ Penalty is deserved
• But an attacker shooting the ball at the hand of the defender while the defender is NOT actively engaged grapping for it...
  [I know, it's the rule] BUT IT IS NOT WORTH A PENALTY by my math!!

That has nothing to do with G vs I, since forever exactly that penalty makes me mad >;)

Iceland will win the final anyway...so what's all the fuss about?

@Mike90 Sorry for your Italian Folk but as you know only the Results Decides and you can try to explain it in 1 million ways but Italy failed.
On the other Hand all we saw how the German Team Dominated the Italians , at this point i was scared because your Team was so bad playin'.And Finally i wouldn't say so quick that the German Team will win this Tournament , there are still good Team in like Wales , Portugal , France or even Iceland. ( wait... Wales and Portugal are yet better than Italy cuz they are already in the Semi-Final LOL )

Although I was supporting Italy, I was actually expecting Germany to win the Euro, so let's just say that I was supporting Italy and knew it would lose. :/ I'm Greek, by the way. :P

Oh, shut the fuck up... Did you even watch the match? Germany was the better team with the better play on the court. It only ended 1-1 because one of the krauts screwed up and gave you defense obsessed morons a free penalty, through a HANDS. If at least it was a last defender foul, I could have said "yeah, it was either that penalty or the sequence was a goal" But this way, it was just fucking dumb luck. Italy didn't have one fucking decent attack the entire game. Without that penalty, the match could have been played for 24 hours and Italy still wouldn't have scored the equalizing goal. You can't keep your head in the box and just wait for a counter-attack opportunity and then hope to win the match. Might have worked with Spain, but sooner or later, football punishes you if you try to cheat it.

Pretty obvious that you are from Italy. Kartoffel > Patata
Glad germany finally won against italy, was about time.

FIFA is World Cup
UEFA is Europe Cup

Learned something new today :)

really? you had to look for a rule? you didn't know that the match score is a draw after quite a lot draws with penalties in the Euro already?

honestly I might be German but I don't give a shit about football :D

Football is determined by the number of goals, not by random nonsense written by morons.

Germany won the day, that's all there is to it.

You're just grasping at straws with that one which is sad. Italy lost, deal with it.

If only all these dickheads would have been serious and did their job :)

"Ohhh, penalties, now I can become a star by doing something cool and beating the keeper"

Too many want to be the new Panenka, it's so very very sad.

Atleast you where qualified to participate, we got kicked out by Iceland before the group phase even happened :/

England didn't go out to Iceland because I didn't want it to happen.
