This was a very tough game. I'll give it to Prandelli for dominating the midfield. For once, I was scared for Spain.

After Nigeria was able to battle for the ball against Spain and got a 42% possession. Italy took it further, pressed harder and forced Spain to resort to long balls. Totally agqinst the tiki taka philosophy.

The Martinez change shifted the flow of the game. It was basic and I wonder why it took Bosque so lojg t se it.

The future of th tiki taka football style is the false 9. I can't wait for the final.

I disagree...Spain never resorted to long balls; and the introduction of Navas, rather than Martinez tilted the momentum towards Spain - especially at the tail end when legs were tired - Navas vs Chiellini + Giacherrini = No contest. A different player other than Pique in those advanced positions and this game would never have made it to extra-time.

Durng the game, there were a lot of long balls to Pedro and Torres. The Italians won the ball a lot of times from fruitless long balls. Also, when Navas first came, Spain wasn't in control of the game till the match ended at regular time. The Martinez introduction is what made the Spaniards.get control of the game and.gave Navas the freedom to express himself.

Spain became dominant during the extra time period. Navas came in in tue 52nd minute and Sain didn't dominate. While Martinez came in in the 94th minute.
