Italy had 10 shots on the goal yesterday, they scored twice and hit the post twice. They completely dominated the match.

They were the better team. But of course, that's not saying much as Germany were wildly overrated all through the tournament.

At least they did better than the equally overrated Brazil team.

Actually I thought I saw that Italy recorded 14 shots on goal to 5 for France.
As some might suggests, just average.
I'd call that just average domination.

Start ordering your pizzas now. It's going to be an Italian (coalition) victory!

And right you are. Here are some stats on Italy-Germany:

GER-------ITA
2 Shots on Goal 10
13 Shots 15
21 Fouls 19
4 Corner Kicks 12
1 Free Kicks 1
2 Offsides 11

Shots on goal and corner kicks are very telling.
