They probably will have lost anyway but my 9th kicker would have been Bonucci and 10th would have been Chiello. Giacc and Maggio deserved chances before defenders like our Juve guys.

hard luck guys, in the end Spain were simply too much, we were putting on players like Aqualani while Spain were putting on Mata.

Having said that, if only Balotelli played, I really think he would have taken one of those chances

One day. One glorious, beautiful day, we will have vengeance and sporting justice will be done. But until then, although I hate them, congratulations to Spain on the win. Till we meet again.

Shut the $#@! up, Casillas got Panenka'ed and didn't save even one too, I doubt any Spanish fan said he would rather see Ramos between the posts than Casillas.

LOL it's just a joke. But seriously, Buffon saves like one penalty every 4 years or something. Am I supposed to blame Bonucci am I?

If only King Chimi was in goal for the penalties

Years on & you're still going on bout that old coot. Chimi

 

[Salvo]

Candreva was as was Maggio, De Rossi also.

Think prandelli with opt for this formation from now on.

he has to! the times i can ever really say Italy have looked worthy was when they play 3 at the back

 

[sgjuveboy]

This is the best statement so far. Italy full strength is a force to be reckoned with and this game proved it

I certainly hope that a full strength Italy doesn't include montolivo and aqui in the first team or subs

 

[ZoSo]

Great game, just shows the quality of Italy to go toe to toe with Spain for 120 mins despite missing players and being 'underdog'.

sh'up!

 

[Ventus]

Yeah, he never really was good at it. But can't blame him.

he did save against england though

casilias never made one save during the shoot out

but yea Buffon was never an experct on penalty shoot out

Spain will lose Sunday. They looked dead on the field tonight and had some moments. If Balo were 100% he would have punched one or two in. We were given way to much room to operate and of course couldn't finish our chances. Marchisio with a terrible header, Giacc hits the post. Typical Azzurri, typical Juve type misses from inside the box. Great game nonetheless. No one gave us a chance and we were inches away from stealing a victory.

Nah he won't, he will decide that with this formation we failed to score, so he has to play other "more attacking" formations to be more positive

Blaming Buffon for not saving penalties

I'll be cheering for Brasilians all the way. Their fans were amazing tonight.

Prandelli has to grow some balls and not ever play Aquilani, Gilardino and Montoshito again.

 

[Gep]

From the Euro 2012 final to now we've shown the Spanish that was a fucking fluke. Good experience for Cesare & the boys. Hope we keep this formation as it suits the slower International football.

Fucking Paella!! No one likes that shiit.

Aquilani was awful. You could see the difference when he came.

You should make a video about Buffon's penalty saves.

 

[sgjuveboy]

I am sick of Prandelli trying to make Italy play positive and attacking football. I still believe that Italy has the uncanny ability to win games playing tactical and neutralizing sides. That is Italy's strength.
