YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Italy defeated Germany in the semifinal. I thought the match vs Australia was dramatic, but this match surely way more dramatic. Just seconds before the game continued in penalty shoot out, Italy ensured their place in the final with goals from Grosso and Del Piero....
Grosso scored in the 119th minute, while Del Piero scored in the last seconds of the 2nd extra time. After Del Piero's goal, the referee blowed the final whistle and I was overwhelmed by joy...It was very ecstatic..Though I hadn't slept, but I felt very energized. Adrenaline was such a powerful drugs. I can still feel the rush...... YEAAAHHHH!!!
History repeated itself when Italy ensured a place in the final. Italy always went through to the final in 12 years period, starting from 1970,1982, 1994, and now 2006. I just hope that they can be the world champion this year. They've come long way, showed some remarkable performances and I'm longing to see four stars on their jersey.
Pirlo was named man of the match, he deserved. It was from his long range effort that Germany conceded a corner, which was taken by Del Piero. The ball scrambled away but only fell to Pirlo again, who brillianty passed the ball to Grosso who scored with a beautiful curling left footed shot. The stadium roared and the Germany was very eager to get an equilazer to bring the match to penalty, since they're unbeatable in world cup penalty shoot out. But when the Germany was concentrating on getting that goal, Italy struck again from a lightning counter attack. Pirlo passed the ball to Gilardino. Gilardino unselfishly gave the ball to Del Piero, who made no mistake striking from close range with another beautiful shot. 2-0 for Italy . Overall, Italy played superbly. Buffon showed his class as the best goal keeper in the world by saving two golden opportunities from a close range shots.
Lehman got lucky twice in the extra time when Gilardino's and Zambrotta's hit the post. But his luck ran out in the 119th minute....Italy will meet France in the final, reminded me of Euro 2000 final. But this time, Italy will win!!! YEAAAHHHH!!!! Forza Italia
Grosso shot a beautiful curling shot
Lehman tried helplessly to parry Grosso's shot
Grosso's shot went in to Germany's net beautifully
Italian players celebrating Grosso's 'long waited and finally came' goal
Even Buffon went to celebrate Grosso's goal...btw, where's Grosso??? ;p
Del Piero coolly scored Italy's second goal, the killer goal
Del Piero: "YEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
(reminds me of his goal at 2002 world cup)
Il dio benedice, è il campione del mondo
