Without underestimating the other matches of the quarterfinals of the European Championship in France, on Saturday quietly it can be qualified as the highlight of the penultimate round of the tournament. Germany and Italy are measured in Bordeaux. A classic of the Old Continent between two of the most decorated teams in football history. More than enoughh to make this clash in one of the most attractive that can be seen on the planet, whatever the time living ones and other data.
The favorite to win the Euro, and therefore the matchup
this Saturday, is Germany. German
midfielder Marco Reus Reacts at the end of the Euro 2012 football championships
semi-final match Germany vs Italy on June 28, 2012 at the National Stadium in
Warsaw. Italy won 2 to 1.
Italy beat Germany in the semifinals of Euro 2012. Before
starting the championship differences in fees they would have been larger than
today. And it is largely to blame the Italian team, which has been growing and
growing throughout the tournament. It came to France with the poster of one of
the worst 'Azzurri' in recent times, but the work and the results now allow them
to enter the list of candidates to take the title. As usual.
Four life and death encounters have played Italy and
Germany, and has emerged victorious in all the Mediterranean combined. The most
recent occasion in the last European Championship, where the team led at the
time by Prandelli semifinals surpassed the Germans 2-1 with a brace from Mario
Balotelli. Is that the same result will be repeated in Bordeaux?
Six years before the faces they were also in semis, but this
time in a World Cup. The defeat here was even more painful for the Germans, as
they were the hosts of the tournament. The match was decided in overtime. In
the extra time the Italians were imposed with goals from Grosso and Del Piero
(0-2). Will we witness a balanced duel after 90 minutes?
Following chronologically backwards with the background,
we traveled to 1982. The Italian team world champion crowned after defeating
Spain in the final to Germany (3-1). The first game of life and death between
Germans and Italians lived in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico in the World Cup
semifinals in 1970. Italy laid the foundations of his idyll to the Germans in
the KO win games in overtime 4-3 .
