Congratulations to Spain on winning on penalty kicks. Today was a lesson in how to take penalty kicks (both Italy and Spain). They didn’t look nervous at all until Bonucci stepped up.
Cheers,

Spain dominated Italia in overtime…wow, should have scored at least 3-4 goals…regardless of the outcome of the penalties, Spain is still the team to beat next summer…class above everyone else in the world, 6 years and counting…

How is this game still goalless?

Both teams are canceling each other out.
It’s one of those games where they’re both equals, and it’ll take one mistake to let the other team win.
Concentration is vital.
Cheers,

I like this 3-4-2-1 Italy is playing. Working well for them today. Everywhere but the scoreline, anyway.

Wow, Italy really making a mess of their chances. They should be 3-0 up by now.

Hey, ESPN amateurs, where was the pre-game, anthems, etc?
What does the arrest of a throw-ball playing thug have to do with sports?
