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.

Watching Pirlo, is like drinking a nice wine. He's aged perfectly.

I actually think they'll win now.
