tbh, I feel like Pirlo inspired Italy to win that shootout. Before his kick, the momentum was totally on England's side. When he was staring at the goal I remember thinking, "alright Pirlo, sack of shit just missed. You need to somehow lead your team to victory here." Then he fucking sped up, and pulled an Abreu when they were down on the score. That took alot of fucking balls imo. Being down on the score and chipping it like that, in the fucking Euros. After that you could just feel the English momentum shrink, the expression on the players faces looked overwhelmed, then England missed, and Gigi got encouraged.
Forza Pirlo. Imo, this win belongs to you because of what you did while Italy was down in the shootout.

“At the moment I saw the goalkeeper making strange movements, so I waited for him to move and hit it like that.
“It was easier for me to chip it at that stage. Maybe my effort put some pressure on England and in fact Ashley Young missed the next one after me.
“I didn’t fear an upset, as England barely created anything, just tried to defend the result and drag us to penalties. We stayed in control and in the end won out.
“We knew that we could control the match, as England are a very defensive team and we saw that from the way they played throughout the group phase. It’s just a shame we took this long to beat them and used up a lot of energy.
“We dominated the encounter and it’s a pity we didn’t take our chances during the 90 minutes or extra time. At least the penalties sent the right team through.
“Mario Balotelli worked hard and helped his teammates. He made a few mistakes when finishing, but he has the quality and will improve.”
