arrivederci Azzurri.....Forza, Onore


Well,

Anyone who sat and watched the quarterfinal between tourament favorite Spain and the Azzurri know, It was textbook Catenaccio...Bravo!

Italia had some great chances and in the end while disappointed, I hold my head high...through all the adversity...Forza Azzurri!

below is from De Rossi after loss on PKs


Heads highWith the scores still locked at 0-0 after 120 minutes it took a shoot-out to separate the sides and the AS Roma midfielder was one of the unfortunate few to miss as Spain prevailed 4-2. "We go out with our heads up, but it's a painful defeat," he said. "We all gave our best and we all know it was not enough. We're very sorry for ourselves and for the Italian fans. Spain enjoyed most of the possession but we had better chances to score. The draw was a fair result, then on penalties sometimes you celebrate and sometimes you cry."
