Wow what a game !!

Italy deservedly won against Germany. The last two goals were spectacular. Just when you thought this was going to end in another penalty shoot out….bang comes the surprise not one but two. Wow.
France also played well but Portugal was tough to beat. One is skeptical of the way the penalties are awarded. It spoils the game. Agreeing that ‘human element’ in umpiring is to be maintained but one feels that penalty foul could be brought under technology. It becomes unfair otherwise.

So it is going to be Italy Vs France …..when it comes to European teams I am neutral…choosing favorites as the game proceeds. I am a big fan of Latin American football. No goal could beat the Argentinean one. It was well planned and brilliantly executed.
