I agree, I think it is fair to say, that Spain was the better team, but
then football is about scoring not about playing aesthetically pleasing. 

When Italy started the penalty shootout, I thought this is a lost case,
since, I think, most teams that started the penalties, won.

As for tonight: I am torn between England (because it took them so long
to reach a semi finals and even being the favorite) and Denmark (because what
happened to Christian Eriksen.

A last word concerning the Germany England game. 

England deserved the victory, although if Müller had kept his nerve and
made that goal things might have turned out differently.

So as I said good luck tonight: might the better team win.
