Italy could hardly create **** without Pirlo and Ambrosini was pretty useless.

Yeah I agree that ESPN's commentators were pretty biased. I agreed with what they were saying about the poor officiating but after half time it wasn't really that bad. Even though I agree with what they were saying, it really seemed as if they were rooting for a particular side. I never like to hear biased national broadcasters.

The one positive to take from this is that Italy have found their long term replacement for Cannavaro in Chiellini. Chiellini was by far Italy's best player tonight IMO.

Pirlo's is Italy's best player and they missed him very clearly today. Fabregas should be a regular starter for Spain. They can't expect Villa and Torres to do all the attacking work.

Russia should win it all... it's the best team so far. Spain-Russia should be an entertaining game for sure...

Italy has to renew the team right now, it's not the end of the world since we're still defending World Champions!

I think Germany is going to win it all...I thought this game was kind of dry and boring at times.
KANGZZZZZ!
