Ah what a great feeling!! Two goals in the last minutes of extra time puts Italy through to the World Cup 2006 final in Berlin! I'd say the Germany-Italy match was the most exciting world cup match that i've seen so far. Italy was definitely the better side that day. Thankfully the match didn't ended in penalty kicks as Germany have the most outstanding record in penalty kicks. 17 win in 18 shootouts. And with this win, Italy stretches their unbeaten record to Germany since 1970. Watching Italy played today, i don't see anyone could beat them. They were in control everywhere especially in midfield, outshadowing the German skipper, Ballack. An Italy-France final match would be another exciting one to watch.
Forza Italia!
