Italy totally dominated the game -- were on the attack from the first second. The English were great at defending but...they never seemed to own the ball. I will, however, give them credit for having two guys named "Ashley" on their team. I love that name for a guy. It's very Gone with the Wind.
I find it odd that UEFA sets things up so incompetently that the Germans have two more days of rest than the Italians. Odd, but not surprising -- having lived in Europe I believe that, generally speaking, the Continent is not inclined to considerations of fairness or logic.
