I told you guys Italy would win. Germany was kind of overrated in this tournament, ditto England. I always knew it would be Spain and Italy in the finals because of their D and Goalie. The final will be great. I like to see Spain win but it will be unpredictable since Italy could beat them. It will be a toss up as to who wins the Euro.

Gigi Buffon reminds me of Luongo, hes so tall and gangly.

Did anyone else see fans dressed up as Mario and Luigi?

VIVA L'ITALIA

For the last time, Buffon is the total opposite of Luongo. Buffon comes up real big in important games while Luongo is inconsistent and is the reason that he might get traded.

Just watched highlights of the PK's

What a cruel way for Portugal to lose. I was cheering for Spain but can't help but feel bad for Portugal there. To be on the wrong side of the iron not one but two times is just brutal. That's why I hate deciding games in shootouts in hockey and/or soccer.

You can't compare hockey to soccer. In soccer, players would probably die of dehydration, cramps, electrolyte imbalance etc. if they had to play continuously until a goal was scored. In hockey, it is possible but not in soccer. That is why you can't really compare the two sports, they are different.

italy deserved it. buffon is clutch. pirlo penalty chip shot = PURE CONFIDENCE.

bye bye england. Hart can be a fill in double for KISS after his tongue routine in the pen. shots.

p.s. portugal is just hanging on thanks to CR7, besides him they're nothing special.

i have a feeling its gonna be a italy vs spain finale.

called it.

p.s. italy will win vs. spain

Do any of these pansies get fined for any of these ridiculous dives? I know soccer fans will say "it's part of the game". I can't accept that. It's a disgrace. Perfect example is dude from Italy today, I think his name was Cassano maybe? 42nd minute or so, he went down like he was shot in the leg by a 44 magnum and was hardly grazed.

How can you fans just look past this crap?

The bad thing about Italy winning is that all of a sudden everyone and their dog is an itailian. Italy = the Brazil of Europe. (In terms of bandwagoners)

That annoys me. They never watch any of the players year round and then when a major tournament comes up they always claim to have supported them forever.

Same thing happens with the superbowl.
