I prefer Klose even with his age. Klose makes everyone in the team better and works a lot harder than Gomez. Both can score goals, although Klose normally scores more for Germany, but that might change with increasing age.

Cassano is the key, also Buffon, Balotelli and Pirlo. They played very well!

Good Game.

Yeah, i heard of people who cheered for Italy at the public viewing event in Munich... Let's just say it wasn't very comfortable after thegame. Really poor behaviour by some "fans"...

You can't blame Gomez because he scored THREE goals and now he sux? Realy?! What did Klose do against Italy? He didn't play worse or better than Mario Gomez. Creating chances is important but the only thing that counts is goals. Italy created 5 scoring chances of 99% but converted only 2.
The thing I didn't like was cocky attitude of German coach to sit BEST striker Gomez against Greece showing no respect for opposition. Yea checking YOUNG talent is important but you don't do it at expense of rusting your top player on the bench. I don't see Italy doing same mistake and making Balotelli rust in any game even if they had Greece in semis. One could say that Balotelli sucked and couldn't convert those one on ones for so long but he kept trying and scored.
Anyway Low did a great job but fans believed in hype of media to plan the parade early.
Gomez is an Iaquinta type of player and Iaquinta helped Italy to win World Cup in 2006. I still don't agree with referee who disallowed Gomez goal opportunity (Gomez took the ball from Capdevilla with strength and bassed to Shveinsteiger 1x1) against Spain in final EURO 2008 because Mario used his size to win the ball battle cleanly but ref pulled an upset with his decision. Just like Iaquinta who powered through his d-man and scored a nice header goal in WC 2006 run which was disallowed by ref. Those big guys don't have acceleration or speed but they have advantage in power and headers.


Someone with an ounce of common sense finally, at least the part where Gomez is deservedly called "the best striker" on a German team, which some posters here refuse to believe.

Yeah me too. It´s a really horrible behaviour. I think that Italy just played plainly better and wish them best of luck. I feel ashamed of the typical german "fan" for behaving this way.

It wasn't an act of disrespect, Löw wanted to catch Greece by suprise. Reus, Klose and Schurrle are a pretty damn close second picks (some would argue the best pick) for the starting line-up. Giving more of these players some time on the pitch will also give Löw more optioms later and a better idea of their current form.

If you think letting a top level soccer player sit out ONE game will mean they're "rusting up", think again. If anything it'll provide some needed rest in the tough schedule. Besides, Balotelli sat out in the game vs Ireland, didn't end up too rusted.

Funny thing is, the picture of the crying german woman was today exposed as recorded before the game (namely, during the calling up of the players) and not in reaction to Italy scoring. UEFA so manipulative this year

Schweinsteiger, Podolski, Müller and kind of even Klose and Gomez weren't as fit or whatever you want to call it, let's hope 2014 the curse can be broken

Italy deservedly won, congrats.

Germany was just too weak defensively to win a major tournament like that. Strong teams will punish the defensive lapses which happened again and again.


Absolutly true , you cant win euro without good defense. Germany is very good team , very good , but not in defence.

Im not some German hater ... but i think even if Germany have win today .. with this defence Spain should win final like 5:0 or even higher vs Germany.


Oh yeah, 2008 and 2010 they had worse defense, but Spain struggled 1-0 twice.

Please watch some more games before you state that.


It was worse in your opinion . Germany has one of worste defences in EURO 2012 , but they have good results because vs weak team Germany attack all the time , so german defense was out of play.

It's only average but not one of the worst. What about Denmark, the Czechs, the Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden?

And did you smoke crack?

I also can't stand the trash-talking of newspapers. The German defence failed to defend against Bolatelli plus some random guy for two times in a row. That was basically the match. While the first goal was really well played, the second also was, but was hugely unnecessary.

Also, no one underestimated Italy. Everyone knows, how deadly they play and that they don't need a thousand chances to score (unlike Podolski or Müller).

I'm generally in favour of controlled, defence-oriented football. That always worked on the highest level, except you are Brazil until the 90ties. If you are not, cut the crap.



I think you smoke something...Sweden Denmark Czech has better defence then Germany..
Only Poland , Ireland has worste defence then Germany in this Euro.

You are wrong abouth first goal also , its was defence mistake . Super mario just trick german defender and was better at header , you cant leave player like baloteli alone near panality field.
