    Spain was lucky.

    If we make it to the final, we will punish them.

    They should not win this Euro. They would be one of the most undeserved winners.

    Nani was smart. He stopped Alves from taking it.

    Ronaldo wasnt as smart.

    Alves looked nervous.

    I told my buddy before that I was 100 % sure Alves would miss. You could see it.

    Spain was lucky. Even that last penalty by Fabregas.

    If Italy beats us, I want Italy to win. If we beat Italy, we will destroy Spain. They have had it coming.

    We play the more beautiful football.

    Not a soccer purist, but the first 90 minutes was very boring to me. I was hoping Spain would lose just because most of their matches I've watched I've fallen asleep.

    Coach wanted him to take the 5th, stupid decision. Alves was nervous as hell, feel bad for him.

    Spain the better team in extra time...booorrring disjointed second half. But I was glued to the screen. What happened to Torres??

    Bring on the Germans. (he says with false bravado). Totally enjoying this tournament...

    WOOOOHOOO my boys are through to the finals.

    The truth is they are not that exciting but they are one of the most technical teams out there. They do what they do well and at the end of the day it's results and they have gotten them day in and out.

    Torres is a liability at times. Negredo had a good history against Pepe and they wanted to try something differet. Unfortunately he didn't do much. Torres is a loose canon and loses his confidence really quickly.

    I believe Germany is the team to beat, but you know we are going to keep you guys from getting the ball. That's going to be the game plan all day. Is Bastian going to be ready to play?

    Winners know how to pull it out of their butts when the game gets tough.

    What other team has been as resilient as Spain in the last 6 years?

    Edit: Ze German's translation for resilient is "Luck"

    Bastian says he's 100%, think they will do everything possible to ensure he's gonna be able to play 120min.

    Still not sure we beat Italy though, will be a battle.

    6 years son...Germany has been the team with most final and semis appearences in EC and WC in history, together with 3 WCs and 3 ECs. How does Spain stack up against our resumè?
