Good result. Prandelli should use this formation from now on and maybe tweak it a little. Too bad he didn't bring Pepe as I think he would fit in 3-5-2 as a winger. :sad:

Top result for Italy IMO. Best game of the tournament. Great entertainment.

Holy shit, British commentators absolutely raving about Italy's performance. Said it was top drawer.

Totally agree. If you look at the chances Italy created, Two very good opportunities for Marchisio, Thaigo Motta's header DiNatale's other shot and then Balo's epic fail all while pressing completely and never laying back

pretty nice game, good result for Italy considering they went missing/tired in the last 30 min and had Spain had a proper striker, could well have won the game.
too bad for that mistake by Chielini in leaving his zone open for Fapregas to make a run and score. Other than that, Italy managed to contain Spain pretty well for the first 60 min or so ... quite possibly also because of Del Bosque's tactics to play with w/o a proper striker, not that that changed with the introduction of Torres :p but Spain did become more dangerous as a result.

Unfortunately for Italy, compared to previous years, they look rather ligh-weight up front as apart from Cassano and Balo, who are inconsistent themselves, and to an extent Di Natale, they don't have any quality there.
