That is how football should be played. The first half from the Italian was the best pass and move football I have seen for a long time.
I think the pressure finally go to the Germans committing niggling fouls and generally being a bit naughty. Not much has been made of Lehmann wrapping himself around the neck of the Italian full-back but I thought there was some intent on Lehmann's part to 'get' the player. Having slated the Germans, the italians were no angels either but last night was quite a respectable performance by their standards.
Anyway I think pretty much everything else has been said by someone else so I won't repeat it but lets hope tonights game is just as good.
