Euro 2012:  Italy 2 - Germany 1


This game reminded me of 1998 France defeating Brazil in the World Cup final.  Everyone thought Germany was the better team coming in, but on the field Italy was just better.  It wasn't like they got lucky, they are just sneaky good.  They got better chances, had a few moments of brilliance, and exposed the weakness in the German defense.  How fun is Pirlo to watch?  The guy is like Chris Paul the way he leads his team.  When he raises his hands, wanting the ball, the other Italians give him it immediately.

They could beat Spain.
