Nope.

That style was named after Czech Republic midfielder Antonín Panenka who scored that penalty, or should I say Panenka in the 1976 Euro finals VS West Germany. This was supposedly the first PK shootout in a Euro final also.
I know that. I replied Zidane cause that's the best memory I've got of an awesome Panenka since it was scored in a World Cup final.

Today's match is going to be a cracker of a game.
I hear that Italy never has lost to Germany in a competition before.... But so hadn't France against Spain, and we all saw how that went.

Read about the latest news from yesterday's match, and Ronaldo were indeed going to take the 5th penalty. So it had nothing to do with him and Casillas knowing each other too well, but tactic from the coach.

To be honest, portugal-spain match was a hard fight. But I find the Spanish didnt put up a good performance though. It was a boring match, the 2nd half is worst. But maybe that's because they wanted to win the possession. Anyway ...

so

Germany? or Italy?
^^

I wanted Italy to win if can. At least, there is a twist in this time Euro. ^^

Well, now the best memory/moment will be Ramos for the world lol

Lets recap a few things this year regrading trends thus far.

1. Barcelona have had a trend of winning/losing in CL every other year the team they lost to won the CL that year in the semi.

United beat us in semi 07/08 won CL
We won 08/09
Inter beat us in semi 09/10 won CL
We won 10/11
Chelsea beat us in semi 11/12 won CL

Still going will see if this breaks this season, or if Barca take it.

2. I remember reading England (club wise) never lost PK to foreign clubs, but they did lose to one another (EPL Club VS EPL Club). This trend is still a live as Chelsea won in PK VS Bayern. This was confirmed by a commentary.

3. Spain VS France, this trended end with Spain getting the victory. If France played the same way I think they could have won, they moaned about defensive teams, but yet did it themselves, this was their chance to show their offensive skills off. Instead they payed the price.

4. Spain VS Portugal. Portugal has never beaten Spain outside of Portugal, yet this trend remains, as they haven't yet.

5. A new one, we have reached the final of Euros twice thru PK shootouts, do you know who scored the winner both times? Fabregas and he spoke to the ball lol as Glida pointed out :p

6. Germany have never beaten Italy in competitive competitions.

7. Germany has always won the Euro after losing the final the last Euros, as someone stated in this topic early and I elaborated on it.

The question is now who's trend will go on will Italy beat Germany to keep theirs alive, or will Germany go on to the final and hope to get a victory to keep theirs, while breaking the Italian ghost thats been haunting them?

Germany responded too late disappointing that they took too long to actually pressure the Italian defense the way I see it the penalty is just a constellation goal could have been 4-0 seeing the clear cut chances Italy had throughout the whole game
Good game in the end
Italy 2-1 Germany
Ballotelli FTW

Can someone please tell me that this is just a nightmarre? No, please.
Germany, the team that hasn't lost a match in soo long; the main favorite; the team with SO many stars and a great GK; the one that made everyone believe in them; the one that put down every single team in a beastly way JUST LOST?

No, no, this isn't reality. Germany deserved it IMHO.

Nothing else to say.

Oh yeah, I've got something.
