Feeling very groggy at the moment but it sure was worth it waking up at 3 am as Italy are through! Stunning late extra-time strikes from Fabio Grosso (119 min) and Alessandro Del Piero (120 min) took Italy into the World Cup final at Germany’s expense with a 2-0 win. I actually fell asleep when the game went into extra-time but apparently the Italians adopted an increasingly attacking approach, aware of the Germans’ brilliant record at penalty shoot-outs — and their own none-too-stellar record. (I still remember the Divine Ponytail’s heart-breaking penalty miss in the 1994 World Cup Final) I woke up around the last five minutes just in time to catch the two winning goals. Now to cheer on Italy with they meet with France or Portugal in the Final.
