Decision wasn't his. That one's on the coach.

Generally it goes - captains, best strikers, best shots. That last minute switch with Nani was just odd (luckily he got the goal or else it would have made a bad situation even worse).

Since I'm a Germany fan and I hate Italy (although this Euro has almost turned me 180 on the Italian style of play), Spain and Portugal, it was a lesser of two evils with the Iberian match. Now I get to see Die Mannschaft have a great and entertaining game.

Actually it was his choice, as captain he asked to go last.

I would have been happy with either team advancing in today's game, but today was ALL Italy and they deserved the win. It's so frustrating to watch the inconsistent play of Balotelli every match, you can either get what you saw today or you can get what you saw against Spain. That said, he had a great game and what a blast he took on his second goal. As for the Germans, Schweinsteiger made his anticipated return but was no match for Pirlo today at midfield. There have been a lot of debate whether they should have started Klose today and I think they should have, you could tell he had an impact when he entered the game. He had the Italian defense work harder as he made something out of nothing. Kroos took way too many kicks outside of the box that never really panned out, but give a lot of credit to the Italian defenders who played a brillant game as well. They were stingy all game. Great game!
