No one would expect The Azzurri to go the last game of the tournament. But they do with the influential & the shining performances of  Andrea Pirlo & Balotelli respectively.

As I mentioned 2 years ago in Italy: Behind the early exit! after the embarrassing in the Wolrd Cup, Buffon, Chiellini, Pirlo, De Rossi, Cassano have now in deed been an indispensable pillars  for the Prandelli’s team. With the shine of Giovinco and particularly Balotelli, Italy have incredibly defeated England and Germany to face Spain in the final.

Balotelli leads Italy to the final

They may win or be crushed by the “invincible” Spain, but their performances deserve big praise from the fans as well the critics!
