He's like the Marty Brodeur of calcio. He just doesn't age. If he records a clean sheet against Spain and they do a Man of the Tournament, Buffon should win easily.

I was getting nervous when Germany scored the PK. Italy had 3 freaking WIDE OPEN shots on goal to put them away and they just couldn't finish. Nerve wracking to say the least. They came in as big time underdogs and now are riding a huge wave of momentum against Spain. Don't count out the Azzurri.

And to think, I picked against them in the JI Pick'em.
