Spain beats Italy and finally got past the quarter

Finally! Spain managed to go the semifinals last night in a European Championship after 24 years. And how! It was a lot of tension match with a 0-0 unshaken that ended the scoring from the spot. Spain is already in the semis!

To Plaza de Colón in Madrid was a server to soak up the euphoria of the Spanish fans. And it was. True, I had to lift the spirits as there were about me pessimistic, as they feared the worst in the penalty shoot-outs. But we have San Iker, more than yesterday but less than San tomorrow.

Italy left the party pushing hard, but play at the touch of Spain began to wreak havoc. Within minutes, the domain of the choice was obvious, to the point where we had a holding of 70%. Silva, virtually the best player on the team since the tournament began, went mad at the Italian defense, but without success final. Italy came in one of Cassano admitted that he was leaving Sergio Ramos as he wanted in the first half. Real Madrid winger continues to prove that the heart can and should think more with his head, although in the second part was most correct in the defensive work by throwing a hand Puyol against Luca Toni.

The referee Grosso ate input on Silva, who almost hurt us.

We reached the second half with the score tied at 0-0. Many people had gone to Columbus to rest, but infinitely more were those who stayed, shouting 'We Can! ". In the second half resulted in the clearest move in front of goal, and it was our precisely. A decline in the area, Casillas, San Casillas, cleared with the left foot shot from Camoranesi that before any other keeper would have got a goal. What a goal of saving the Móstoles.

Iniesta is not doing a good European Championships, was replaced by the Grand Cazorla, being one of the best, Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas. These minutes of the change took Italy to settle in the field of play and jump fear in the body. But soon Fabregas became Arsenal and the others continued to play well. Marcos Senna, correctísimo throughout the tournament (it is the best selection) launched a shot that nearly made colársele Buffon after having trapped. The stick will be saved.

Fernando Torres left the final five minutes to place Guiza, top scorer of the Spanish League, but enjoyed no clear opportunity. Yes, the Villa was, but once failed to control the iron and sometimes prevented him from kicking Italian defense clearly. Silva always helped with danger.

And we got to overtime. We waited another thirty minutes of suffering with 10,000 people around us. Silva threw a shoe, we thought it went in, but no. After Italy had a few opportunities, inevitable in a match of these characteristics, but won no prize. Every corner was torture. In the 120th minute of game, the last time, Santi Cazorla narrowly missed, with Villa desperately asking for the ball at the far post. The Spaniard did not come by very little and we went to penalties, some with very afraid.

Scared of what? San Casillas is not holy because. Xavi Hernandez acknowledged at the end of the meeting that only lost one round with this gatekeeper of Korea.

Villa scored. Grosso also. And Cazorla. 2-1. And Casillas appeared, stopping the penalty for De Rossi. Senna scored his: 3-1 in our favor. Camonaresi scored. 3-2. Buffon And we put the fear in his system when he stopped throwing to Dani Guiza. Nothing happened, Casillas stopped by Di Natale. 3-2, and if Cesc scored, the match ended with the Spanish classification ... And Cesc scored.

Spain entered the semifinals of Euro 2008. Finally. There we expect Russia, whom we have already beaten.
