It was a match too close to call, but when it time came, little Cesc stood up to be counted, and sent Buffon the wrong way in the last kick of the shootout!
Spain were delirious in sending the proud italians, who were missing their mifield mainmen, packing with "buena riddance" stamped on their baggage!
And how! Italians set out the stall with solid defense (naturally) and some nice moves ending with Luca Toni unfortunate to finish the tournament with no goals. The matadors were slow in building attack from the back, until the coach decided to inject some attacking style with Cesc Fabregas bossing the midfield later in the second half.
So now we build on towards the Semi-finals of Euro 08. The Germans face the tricky Turks, who have managed to squeeze (literally) thru. Russia, who blew the flying Dutchmen away, will be awaiting the Spanish. phew...at least i can get a few nights of sleep before that phase starts of.
