It was a hard game for spain yesterday to win italy.. the game wasn't that good, quite boring.. I don't know what happened to the world champions this euro 2008.. Spain won just by luck not 'cause they played a good match.. I really don't like penalty shootout cos it depends on luck.. when you win in penatly shootout doesn't mean you're a good team .. Or do what do y'all think?

In the first round Spain played much better football than Italy, and in yesterday's game both sides played tough football more intent on not receiving goals than on making one, especially Italy,so I think Spain did deserve to win even if it was by penalties. As for luck, if Italy had won would you be saying it was because of it?

penalties are penalties, them are good if those we wish win but if not then them are not so good ... but its far better then like they done it in past, when the flip the coin and germany won :)

yeah Italy fought a great match. Unfortunately, they're not lucky during penalty shoot outs.

I have to say Italy is very strong.But Spain is not weak.In the football match,there is no luck.Strength is everything!No matter in which way,victory is the most important thing,I think.

I'm an Italian boy so I could not hope Italy team won but frankly I must say that I was very disappointed to the match of Italy. They had a passive attitude for almost the whole game and even the Spanish team had not made a great match perhaps deserved more of reaching the semifinal.

I agree that the game was boring. I fell asleep just before the penalty shoot out. Anyway, Casillas is the best GK in the world.

Nobody like penalty kicks but I think Spain deserved it yesterday.They have a more balanced squad and Casillas was outstanding in the tournament.Italy doesn't have a game plan and Luca Toni can't score any goals in the tournament.They should learn from Spain and start to field new players replacing the 'old' players that won the world cup.

I agree with you, they were olucky and now they're saying "we're the best" for me they aren't at all! I think that if they'll play vs Russia as they've played vs Italy, they will lose surely!!

I can't agree with at all. the match consists of a little luck in it ,it's the mysterious value of football,if no luck ,there is no football. what you said revealed that you are a fan of Italy. please remember ,Italy sometimes wins the game by luck too.and Spain deserves the win . Thanks for sharing you opinion.
