The better team won. It's as easy as that. We outplayed them on every aspect of the game.

Well what is your reason for their bad Euro?


why do i need any reason for schweinsteiger don't showing his best performance except for the netherlands game? i don't get you.



Because both are world class players and you expect them to turn up for important games and yet they haven't?

Italy deserved their win because they completely bossed Germany when they attacked, they took their time in attack, and the German defence was horrifying quite often.



i thought sort of the opposite, Italy was maximizing chances on breakaways, keeping the ball progressing forwards, whereas Germany was trying to slow down their offesne WAY too much..

but I totally agree Italy deserved that win, they flat out-played Germany and won, how sports should be.

So 13-1 corners and barely stopping the ball in the penalty box numerous times is called bossing someone? Good to know.

I don't like Löw's attitude right now.

He blames the defense for the goals. Sorry this is right, but just cause he wants to avoid the blame for fielding Gomez, Kroos and Podolski this is no reason to blame for the strongest part of the German team this tournament.


what has tournament performance to do with the goals today? both were HUGE individual mistakes. hummels played a perfect tournament so far and yet he played a big part in the 1-0.

Cannot believe it.

Everytime Germany plays vs Italy it's as if the stars re-align and everything goes sideways. Italy who wasn't able to hit an empty goal all tournament long suddenly score 2 goals with 2 chances. Germany who has always been effective in front of the goal just can't get the ball in. All the cards go to the Italian team, but always when it matters the referee makes wrong/strange/incomprehensible decisions in favor of the Azurri.

Except for hardliners who go by the motto "the team that wins deservers to win" I don't think anyone honestly believes that Italy deserved this win. Unbelievable...........


exactly that except the last sentence. they deserved to win today. as much as i believe germany has the better teamquality, italy played very well today and we played bad. so they won.

also go italy, destroy spain!

What I mean is Löw is not protecting his players.
Any good coach would take the blame on himself, he rather blames individual errors.

if you ask me, lahm played a great tournament and showed, why he is one of the best defenders in the world.

schweinsteiger didn't find to his class since his long injury, it's not just this euro.

Both goals were huge individual mistakes. Everyone knows this, every player says it in the interviews, why should the coach don't talk about the real reasons why they lost the game.

I don't know why Podolski and Gomez played... Muller should have came on earlier I think, and Lahm and Badstuber looked like they were sleep walking on the 2 goals T_T. I am sad now... Guess I'll cheer for spain now...

Italy were happy to concede corners, Balzaretti and Chiellini will eat them up all day long. Also, Italy had more crucial opportunities in the box, surprising you didn't notice that. Italy should really have won 4-0 or 4-1, if it weren't for the wasting of the second half opportunities. Buffon basically never had to show any brilliance to stop any attacks, Germany's attacking was snatching, you could feel they were pressured. It felt like watching Chelsea v Bayern again. I feel really sorry for Germany because I love their playstyle. The only real threat that I can remember was the early opportunity blocked by (Pirlo?).

well thats a different thing ofc. i didnt watch the after match stuff so dont know what he said. but in the end the worst case is him saying the truth.


but I totally agree Italy deserved that win, they flat out-played Germany and won, how sports should be.



i wouldnt say outplayed. just really solid overall play and ice cold finishing in the first half vs a german team that couldnt get anything serious done and made untypical mistakes on all ends the whole game.

Sure Low made crappy decisions, but he had nothing to do with Badstuber not even contesting the first goal and 3 defenders letting Balotelli get in front of them for the second.
