Personally I am an Italy fan, however I have my doubts. I would like to believe that Italy could beet Germany with ease, but it either won't happen or it won't be easy. My faith in Italy is that Germany has never beaten Italy in a competitive game. My doubt is the simple point that Germany has been an great team. I can tell everyone here is saying Germany will win, but I personally say Italy, but it will be a close game.

[Luxraymaster]

Depends, how Italy are set up. If they attack I can see it being a close game, but if they defend high like England did and like a lot of teams have done against Germany and Spain, I can see the Germans winning with ease.

Messi has scored multiple headers, one of which was in the 2009 CL Final against Man U when people were criticizing him of not heading and shooting from long range ( both of what he did in that match and scored ). I don't care about the CL Final actually, I only care about the CL SEMI-final. And look at Messi's ball control in the GIF in my sig, BOSS.

All that .gif shows is some terrible defense which just proves how bad La Liga really is.

That isn't La Liga. That's a Charity Match Messi's Friends VS Rest of the World and the red team ( Rest of the World ) has the likes of Suarez, Falcao, Cambiasso etc.

I am so tired right now I feel like a corpse, yet I am excited for the match. I now wish I hadn't wasted so much time last night watching that "football match" between Spain and Portugal so I had more energy tonight. Spain has been really pulling a 2004 Greece this tournament, only that they are also completely redefining anti-football.

What I find funny is that if you told someone before the Euro which game between Italy-England/Spain-Portugal would be more exciting and beautiful they'd most defintely say SPN-POR. Because Spain is the best team in the world and Portugal the "european brazil" and both full of technically gifted players; while Italy is the catenaccio super-defensive side and England the cross from sides physical strength team, no? Ironically, England-Italy was the best game of the Euro and Spain-Portugal the worst.

Anyway, Germany have shown to be the most prepared team of the tournament, but I really like our team right now and am confident we can make it to the final.

FORZA ITALIA

[Luxraymaster]

wow, ballotelli. germans defense looks shaky after not being tested that much all tournament.

[VS]

I have lost my doubt in Italy! I can't believe they are doing so good!

[7 tyranitars]

Wow can't believe Italy is leading 0-2

[Luxraymaster]

why not? they've had it in them, should've scored at least 3 against england + did anyone just see neuer's failed skill? oh dear:')

[KickAsh]

I'm so happy for Balotelli right now. Deep down, I like him, despite his crazy antics. I've been waiting for him to score all tournament, and I'm glad he's done it three times.
Never a dull moment with Mario around.

Is he joint top scorer now?

[~Nicole~]

Woooooaaaaaahhhhhh Italy actually won, 2-1 :O So, Italy VS Spain Part 2!!!!

READ: TO BE UNABIASED, I THINK THAT DESTINY FAVOURS ITALY, AND THAT WE ( SPAIN ) MAY ACTUALLY GET SOME WOOD IN OUR TAILS ON SUNDAY.

I said it. I'm scared. Italia boy, Italia. They beat Germany, and now they coming for us. Crud.

[Garnet Til Alexandros XVII]

Hopefully the final isn't as dull as the last game between these two teams.
I think Spain might just take it though.

[abrar14]

I wanted Spain to win since Italy knocked out England. But Spain knocked out France. I'll just be A neutral i guess

Same here, he's got so much quality and he's bit wild which makes for football and entertainment gold. Just look at his celebration for his second goal. God bless Mario Balotelli and I hope Italy can win it come Sunday!

[7 tyranitars]

Every time I picked a new country who I would root for the got kicked out:

The Netherlands,
France,
England,
Portugal,
Germany.

So guys, Go Spain!

[~Nicole~]

Even though I'm a die-hard Spanish fan, I think destiny will have Italia win, I mean, look at that Italy-Germany scoreline again!

Also, if Spain were knocked out earlier in the tournament I was going to be a neutral, I don't support any other national team. Shows how much principles you have, 7tyranitars.

[TheSirPeras]

Well as a nice neighbor I am, I'll be for Spain now!! Cmon Spain, if you've managed to come this far at least get your third cup in a row! X)

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I mean it's not like switching team to the one that is doing the best or anything. For instance, I root for Sweden because I am from Sweden, that part is obvious. When Sweden went out, I wouldn't say that I started cheering for another team, but out of the teams that were left I felt like Germany played the best football, and that I would rather see them win than any of the other teams.

This, I always root for The Netherlands but I if they are out I just pick one who I think deserves to win or that I want to win in favor of another or the others.
