Fair play Spain, great mental character there They never got going in the 90 mins. Both teams hitting woodwork, more Spain 2nd period of etime Fair play Italy, they dont half know how to play a good tournament. If Balotelli had of been playing I reckon they'd have won to be fair with some of there chances Thought Torres looked decent and Arbeloa Would Alonso have been on the bench if he was there? Well done Spain
