Wow

Just.

Wow...

That's by far the best game of the world cup, and it might just be the best World Cup semi final I've ever seen (certainly the best I can remember off the top of my head.) It's *definitely* the most attacking performance I've ever seen from Italy in a massive game. They deserved it I think...Lots will be said about the fantastic spirit the game was played in to - hope for all of us disheartened by the cynicism that is ruining the game we all love. It was a game that lit up the tournament, and if it's matched by any of the remaining games we might all remember this as a brilliant world cup after all.

Let's hope Portugal don't dive France out of the tournament tomorrow...
