If Germany had managed to hold on for just two minutes more,
they would surely have won. No one does penalties better than the
Krauts - and no one flops in them worse than the Azzuri.
Except for England, I guess. 
Then again, I'll admit the better team won here. The Italians did
very well in harassing the Germans every time they got the ball and
denied them space and freedom of movement. It was sheer heartbreak
to see Grosso scoring in the dying moments. Del Piero just
underlined the heartbreak for them.
So I suppose the final will be the battle of the blues.
More specifically, the Azzuri vs Les Bleus.
