LIVE: Germany v Italy, Euro 2012 semi-final
19.29 – Good evening dear friends and welcome to the penultimate game of this summer’s European Championships. Yup that’s right, it’s almost time for this circus to pack up and roll out of time but before we’re left with nothing but memories, there are a couple of very important issues still to settle.
Not least among them is the destination of the Henri Delaunay trophy for the next four years and tonight in Warsaw, Jogi Loew’s Mannschaft and Cesare Prandell’s Azzurri do battle for the right to meet reigning World and European champions Spain in Sunday evening’s final.
We’ll be here until the bitter end which, if the last two games are anything to go by, will be at about 10.30 tonight following a bore-all draw and a brief flurry of excitement for penalties.
Game number 30 is nearly upon us. Once more unto the breach…
