Seems like Germany expected to win and didn't look at the Italians tactics of Pirlo orchestrating and balls over the top for Balotelli. They should be happy it wasn't more like 4-0!!
The Italian back five were immense credit were credit is due.
Now for a great final and I fancy the Italians now unless he starts with torres.
we have a huge discussion in germany why Joachim Lows didn't trust the lineup vs Greece
He changed it completly in the wrong direction, there was no harmonic teamplay, no good and surprising moves. At all the matches before, germany played their game, now he tried to stopp pirlo with a more middle oriented player Kroos, a typical 6 normaly. Thats the big point, why he changed a winning team?!?! nobody knows, its a mess, pretty frustrated for us.
The result: The better team won! Italy will now play very clever, with the same tactices of early pressure they can bring also spain into trouble
