Can't believe so many penalties were missed and that buffon missed the last one :(
I fancy Germany to make the final now.
France v Iceland tomorrow. Don't expect Iceland to have a fair referee but I still think they've a fighting chance!
I admired Italy this time around. No world-class players, no decent strikers or play makers. It felt like Conte put together a bunch of amatures and taught them how to play like a team. They knocked out Spain and almost knocked out Germany, and in both cases, Buffon helped a lot XD
Excited to see what Conte will do at Chelsea next season.

Very well said. Conte definitely one of the managers of euro 2016 and will be interesting to see if he can replicate it with Chelsea.
Such a shame they missed out. I would have backed them to make the final if they won today.
I can't believe Italy managed to outdo us in the competition for the worst pens when we have legendary bottlers like Müller, Schweini and (to a lesser extend) Özil
Eh, after that horrible penalty shootout by both Germany and Italy,we know that Portugal has this tournament on lock if it beats Wales.
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
Leichester 2.0, now that the German curse is over, it's time for the UK champion coach curse :p
But now seriously tell me what's up with Zaza ? I haven't seen the match but I know he once played in the team of a city nearby where I live...
A nobody, really. He plays for Juve now and he scored some goals this season. I don't know how he made it to the national team, but I guess Italy has been severely lacking talent for years. Conte decided to send him in at minute 120, just so that he could help with the penalties, and he missed his shot.
I blame Conte to be honest, you just don't make that kind of sub unless you are sending in someone with talent and vast experience like Del Piero.
I remember Anelka going through a similar experience with Chelsea, they were playing against MAN U, the champions league finale, he was sub'ed in at minute 120 and missed the penalty and it cost Chelsea the title.
Lmao what the hell was the he thinking when he made that ? Career ruined.

I thought your team could've won tonight if they had Inzaghi lol, so many dangerous crosses with no one to take advantage of them. Inzaghi had an eye for those kind of passes.
Didn't Inzaghi become a trainer like 4/5 years ago ? also even if that's the case if Inzaghi played we would have got the match in the bag, there's this meme in Italy about Inzaghi winning any possible match that the team he plays for is losing...
Can't wait for today's game. We really need Iceland to win this one. No Hummels and probably no Gomez and Khedira means we need to get a team where we don't need good players to win.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
