Congrats to Italy for the win .. WTF Abidal was thinking .. I'm glad I won't see that loser Domenech again ... welcome Deschamps
I heard Pirlo and Gattuso will miss the game, is that true?
Italy well deserved to advance. Romania should have finished it off against the French, but they failed. Italy was overrun by the Dutch and didn't really impress against Romania, which is a hard opponent anyway (I don't see why everyone counted them out - they're tougher than leather). Italy ended on top when Romania failed and France never even got anywhere near. Not that the French sucked, but it just wasn't working out for them.Spain - Italy will be a great game. The Spanish have already proved that they can perform really well, although they're not invulverable. As has been said before, the Italians never get weaker during tournaments, only stronger. Although I still think their team "isn't quite what it once was," at least they'll give Spain a hard time.At the same time, did anyone notice the strength of just about the entire Dutch selection? Their B-team had some trouble with the match flow early in the game, yet even players who normally wouldn't play one second of a tournament like this, got something done against Romania that the Italian and French main teams wouldn't accomplish. I'm fairly well impressed.

LOL at all y'all, i could care less if Spain always starts beautifully and Italy starts slow, that does not have to happen all the time and will not this year.Spain (IMO) looks better this year than it has in years and has a very strong chance to win the entire tournament - they will beat Italy, mark my words.
