Very entertaining match, and in the end the better team won. Tough loss though to the English.

My good friend (she's Scottish) is having a great day though. Just finished watching Brave and then this.

Even though I was rooting for England, I have to say: Italy clearly deserved to win. I wonder if we'll stand a chance against them in the semi-finals.

Well Italy deserved that I suppose. They were the better team tonight and have been better throughout the tournament and came through a much tougher group. Other than a 20 minute spell in the first half England were very poor, again.

Pirlo is such a beautiful footballer, man of the match by a mile

pirlo should have taken his pen last and finished we off in style, cool as a cucumber... young's a numpty

If his had gone in, you wouldn't be saying that

Best of 16 of WC 2010 actually. 

I think that it will be a pretty even match, as most Portugal vs Spain matches are. Even back in that game, they only managed to win 1 - 0 and didn't have much chances (plus, we played pretty bad too). If we keep our current form and playstyle, we might have a chance at beating them, but if we play like France did, we're pretty much screwed. 

All in all, I think (and hope) that both semi final matches are going to be pretty good.

Oh well. We know how penalties work for England. Overall, I think we had a good tournament. We perform badly in Tournaments after all.

All players did their parts alright, just think Young was our worst player. Best players, when he was on Carroll did very well, Glen Johnson as great and surpassed my expectations of him.

very true ha, i've just never fancied young in the team from the start to be honest.. the better team won anyways

Pirlo was fantastic tonight. That penalty under that sort of pressure, was just brilliant.

Yeah congrats to Italy, they deserved to win for sure, but it could've gone our way in penalties I suppose.

Young was disastrous though, truly awful all game, Rooney looked pretty poor too :/. Even Gerrard looked tired now :(
