Well what did everyone think of last night's match? For me, it wasn't a great match but in the end, the better side went through. Ok, Spain weren't brilliant but playing against an Italian side with 9 men behind the ball, it would have been tough for any side to break them down. But if anyone could have broken them down, it was the Spanish but it didn't happen. But even playing against 9 men behind the ball, I thought the Spanish were unlucky not to score. Then again, the Italians themselves did have some good chances themselves whenever they attacked.
Before the match, I predicted the Spanish to go through but when it came to penalties, I feared that they would get knocked out. Especially considering that they lost 3 previous penalty shootouts on 22nd June. But in the end, they got through to set up a cracking rematch with the Russians and also, ended their 22nd June jinx ;D

Italy was playing its usual boring defence-bound game. I felt sorry for Spain, as they deserved to progress and to win. And Italy had the referee But Spain showed all its class in winning that penalty shootout. Spain against Russia, that will be a cracker of a game. I'm definitely happy that the Netherlands and Italy are gone ;D

I'm afraid of what might happen in Germany (especially Berlin and other big cities) if Turkey beats Germany. There are too many idiots living here, who'd like to let of some steam after their teams loss by getting violent towards those, who have the same nationality as the defeater.
