Re: The Italy Thread - Forza Azzurri! - "Il sogno è appena cominciato"
Yep. That was obvious. Spain had much more energy. Probably all the passing about in the tourney paid off now. Add to that Balzaretti not starting, then coming in early in the game after a goal was scored, sub wasted. Then Motta's sub ending up playing with 10 men, another one wasted. The goals that weren't happening. And Spain's ability didn't help at all.
What I don't understand is, why did Motta come in when they were 2 goals down? At that time they had nothing to lose, and I would've thrown in an energetic and quick player instead, maybe help up the team spirits.
Congrats, your boys were very tired today. It was obvious. Prandelli managed a little miracle with those players( very unfit people everywhere).
