I hope for a 2:1 for Germany, but i would not bet on it. :)

penalties again ??:):)

Germany has more chances but does not manage to get one more goal.
Italian goal by 11 mtr after hand play by Boateng, which he can't be blamed for.
Five yellow cards for Italy, one for Germany, two of the best german players out because of injuries :shifty:
Well, Italy is not better, but i fear it will end like usually :-?

now we have the mess...

I hate penalties, since Argentina my nerves can't handle them anymore.
Still in awe, we really made it. :o

That was the crime of the century

^ Indeed.
I'm devastated, can't really be happy.

But thanks to BossMark and Jim, for the good wishes :O:

Exactly how I feel. Didn't cheer or anything, I was just glad it is finally over.
Now, I hope Iceland will beat France, that could get interesting.
I see us beating both teams - but I would be very happy for Iceland if they make it through.

What a drama.

:)

Crikey!, that must have been a nightmare penalty shootout for both sets of players, at one point I said to myself "doesn't anyone want to win this bloody game. :haha:

Didn't see the game but fair dues, it had to have an outcome on the night.

One final obstacle being France I reckon but I did say much earlier the winner of the Germany v Italy game would produce the tournament victor.

Injuries strike the Germans: Gomez RTBs early, big question marks behind Khedira and Schweinsteiger.

Could be the chance for the youngsters to establish themselves even further.

Gomez is no loss at all. No idea why he is part of this team anyways.

Well, Germany vs. France it is then.

I had really hoped for a better result, for Iceland. It is France alright, but 4:0 after 45 minutes.. :-?
