Jow got screwed when he dropped Muller and Germans had no width in the team . Ozil on the right did not go down well .

They played in Italy's hands with the Narrow formation .

How good has Pirlo been so far. 33 years and still going strong.
 
What a match, supremely entertaining, Itlay played like a well oiled machine. Germany, way too much tinkering going on, Klose starts one match scores and then dropped, similar with Gomez.

The finals will be entertaining, but want Spain to play like the last 10 minutes they played against Portugal, else it will boring.
 
Its funny how it was expected that Spain would be the team with flair and excitement and Italy, reserved and boring. Exactly opposite's happening.
 
Yeah. Hope the final turns out to be an entertaining affair. Just hope Spain do well without Villa or Puyol, like they have managed thus far.

I supported them till the last world cup, but have become too arrogant imho. They will cope without Puyol no doubt, its upfront they need to fire, and I have no idea what Del Bosque is thinking keeping Torres on the bench, and starting Negredo last match, and at one point Spain had no strikers at all. Gotta have one target man, be it Torres, Lorente or whoever else.
 
Spain eats Pass-Pass and will continue playing Pass-Pass in finals too :(....

Just hope the final don't stretch to the extend of penalty shootout

New Statesman - Football tactics have got out of shape

Read this if you want to know about the false no 9 tactic.

Its basically a 4 6 0 formation where the front 4 does not have a out and out striker . Fabregas plays that number 9 role.

Italy Vs Spain. Balotelli vs Pique, Pirlo v/s Xavi... Let's see who wins. I am slightly supporting Italy. No matter who wins, this is going to be a damn good Game :)
