Spain deserved to go through as they clearly had the better performance in the 30 minutes extra time, but they're definitely going to have to do better in the final if they face Germany. There was an alarming lack of tika taka from them that game. Tika taka is suppose to be their secret weapon.
At any rate, I became belligerent towards the Portugal fans once they started mass boo'ing Spain at one point for doing their tic-tack. Seriously, if you don't like the way a team plays, then it falls on the other team to put together an effective counter to it. Don't be a douche and whine at the winning team about it; they're obviously going to use whatever works.

I just hope Germany will come to the rescue of soccer and destroy the Spanish play with a couple of goals.
At this point, Germany vs. Italy promises to become a much more spectacular game than the Iberic duel which may end 0:0 and with a penalty shootout.
No need to add something.

but then they get better in decisive matches
like the one today against Germany should be the case!!!
so hoping to see an amazing final

I don't mean to be a party pooper here. I can't help watching Euro soccer and WC soccer for some reason. However am I the only one who's been extremely bored by the games so far?
In the early 2000's, long ball passes and short attacks where they lost the balls all the time frustrated me like nothing else. Now they've the long attacks with short passes I wanted, and it's still frustrating me to watch. Especially when they lose the ball after having played it up so slowly, and only due to a bad pass, or when they can't hit the target from a completely free position.

Have no fear - today's game will be fine, although it won't be that much fun for the Italian fans.

Will it be fun for a neutral fan? If bliz'(?) prediction comes true and Germany overuns Italy, then yay, nice job Germany, you deserve the final, but it's not very entertaining, in my opinion.

Italy is no pushover, it should be quite entertaining.
However, we'll see a lot more action on both sides, and the goalies will have work to do.

This Euro Cup has been a tragedy completely for me.
First Sweden gets knocked out for being unable to beat Ukraine which was necessary even though Sweden got some nice momentum going versus both England and France later on.
So besides Sweden, what country does Jaba also always cheer for?
That's right, the Netherlands... 
Both my favorite teams out, who to root for now?
England? Nope...
France? Nope...
Cmon, Portugal? aaaannnnddd... Nope.
Dammit, every goddamn team I keep cheering for gets thrown out. Truth be told, I'm too scared to watch tonights game for then Germany is most likely to fail as well.
Seriously though, Germany needs to beat the Italians so that they might crush the Spaniards. It's my last and only hope.

It was fun to host something for once. Too bad my country was the absolutely worst team.
Oh well, at least they didn't have to go a long way to get home

Good gracious. I saw the German line-up, and it's awful.
The match may not only be boring, Germany may lose as well. In fact, I'm contemplating a bet on Italy right now.

You can always just support everyone who is going against the spanish Jaba. That's what I do since we don't have Argentina here.

Fool's luck kept Italy in the beginning. They had some more in the end too. A shame that's what the game had to come down to.
Not that italy didn't deserve to win anyway.

Unbelievable.
@Joonas
Yeah well that's what I've been doing, haven't worked out so well this far unfortunately. :/
However for the final, I will be cheering for Spain since there is no team that I hate more than Italy.

Awesome moves from Balotelli + Baffon. Deserved win. I'm very happy for the Italian team to come so far in the tourney under such bad circumstances.

Without question the best moment of the game:
I laughed out loud for like half a minute straight when he just pulled his shirt off, turned around, and just.... starred straight forward with that intense expression on his face.
