    You got 4.8x your bet on Italy, I always had a bad feeling about the game so it was logical to place the bet. I bet on who I thinks will win, no emotions involved.

    Draft coverage starts 2am in Germany and I have to go to University 6AM, will be a wreck tomorrow(possibly alcohol involved because of our loss).

    Feel bad for ATW who first didn't want to attend the Ec after the Bayern disaster, then decided to watch because we were great in group stage. Then he has to see this mess live in person, horrible.

    You think I wasn't around for the heartbreak and agony of the 90's? The classic WC Italy match where they murdered Luis Enrique and got away with it in 94?

    I've been through the hell bro. Not a bandwagon fan. Still have that 94 jersey too. I was 12

    Then act a bit more humble and show some class. Calling out guys after a loss is not how you pay respect.

    I don't see the point of hating on anybody for being a fanboy. If I were Spanish I'd be boasting too.

    Sunday's final is going to be awesome, but I fear it will be a defensive battle. Italy and Spain have clearly been the two best defensive sides in this tournament. On the plus side, I think Italy will do a better job of claiming ball possession from Spain than Portugal did.

    he says sympathetically as he counts his thirty pieces of silver ;).

    Tough luck for ATW....but still an awesome experience to be there. 2014 in Rio I suppose...

    Right now I don't even want to think about 2014, this generation is doomed for failure. ATW already said it, 70s Netherlands 2.0

    The postman also doesn't take off his shirt and scowl at me either.

    Btw Portugal might be the worst lobbing team in the history of existence... Good god their lobs were unbearable to watch vs Spain.

    Im honestly not even worried about Spain since they dont have Puyol or a legimate striker w/o Villa but Iniesta is in his own league.. That guy can put the team on his back with ease. Easily Spains best player.

    Pirlo vs Iniesta. The legendary metronome vs the unparallel magician. Round 2.

    Wow, amazing. Can't believe that happened! Was confident Germany would win that one. Am interested to see what Bild is going to say now. Hate that 'paper'. Feel sorry for this German generation, they deserve something. I was also hoping they'd win for ATW and Yung-T, classy fans (unlike some others here). Humble players like Ozil, that's what we're missing in Holland. We have players that think they're more than they are.

    Looking forward to this final. Don't really mind who wins now so just hope it's a good game!

    It was a deserved win for Italy. We made some stupid mistakes on defense. Hummels is overrated, especially by himself. Schweinsteiger has been injured almost the whole year and was not himself. The coach made a mistake by putting Gomez and Podolski back in. I'll say it again, Gomez is a detriment to any team if/when he doesn't score - like playing 10 on 11.

    I was on TV quite a bit during the match today, people sent me a ton of messages from all over the world.

    Oh, and REEKO still doesn't get it. He simply doesn't.

    He is the ONLY person on this thread constantly acting like a complete idiot.

    too bad Germany didnt win, they were playing very good.
    Im shocked how Italy has changed their style, now they do play offensive, and not only defense like previous years.

    What were you wearing? Also for some reason the cameraman picked the ugliest German girls there out of the abundance of hotties.
