Di Natale on for misfiring Balotelli, no big suprise after he has also been booked.
Average age of Spain's coaching staff >60 years.
It's time for a younger coach with fresh ideas, who shows the boys his commitment! Pep?
Balotelli has his 'obvious' yellow and 2 minutes after failing to make a decision when clean through, gets subbed...brought it on himself.
diiii Nataaaale, finally a goal!!
Well done Italy, game on, will Spain wake up?
Take that Balotelli, no messing about, Di Natale with curling effort to put Italy 1-0 up.
Now the shop will be closed![]()
"Veni, Vidi, Vici".
Most football teams are temperamental. That's 90% temper and 10% mental.
Great through ball and a very tidy Di Natale finish into the bottom corner. Spain have brought this on themselves by showing a total lack of faith in their three available strikers.

Game on, Fabregas makes it 1-1, nice ball in by David Silva.
At least we have a game now![]()
Finally Cesc makes a striker type run and Silva finds him with a beauty of a pass, put away with aplomb there after. 1-1 and game on.
quick response, almost a carbon copy
Seņor Del Bosque, Torres's muscles are warm enough now![]()

Big chance for Torres, first touch of ball, beats offside trap, Buffon rushing out, but Buffon makes amends.
What an inch perfect ball from Giaccherini to find Di Natale, but volley's wide.
torres was envious of balotelli
