Semi Finals: Germany vs Italy

[wcsoldier]

I have a strong feeling this gonna end up in the penalties... I don't see Germany scoring against this defense

.. not long to go now.

I'm a little worried should Materazzi start, and I think Odonkors pace could cause Grosso problems, in the late stages.

Overall, I think if Italy can avoid penalties, they'll win this.

Prediction: 1-1, Italy win in ET.

FORZA ITALIA!

[Bomb-A®]

kick off in one hour

3-1 to italy



peace

Do any of you guys know that Lehman prepares for Penalty Kicks by having each shooter's PK tendencies/shot preference/etc on a sheet and he looks at it before going to penalties?

Buffon too. He's one of the best GK's ever to save penalties.

Anyway i'm nervous.. But i predict a 1-0 win for Italy.

P.S. A funny thing. They asked Buffon about Frings' ban. He said:

"What? Fuck! He was the only one i knew how to save his penalty! They damaged us"

all keepers do that...its just that the others have a good enough memory not to have a piece of paper for reference....besides, who said its going to penalties?

Shit, I hope it doesn't go to penalties.
Italy do have some nice takers, (Pirlo  ), but Germany were exceptional against Argentina.

I think Italy can contain Germany, but you never know with Klose around.

Italy need a big game from Totti tonight, .. I expect Buffon, Cannavaro and Zambrotta to give their usual 200% as always, but it's so important to get that first goal.

You guys didn't expect a goal?  Both teams were attacking like crazy.
