Italy late show sends Germany out
Another surprise exit today that ended any hope that I might get some money out of the office World Cup pool.
Stunning late extra-time strikes from Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Del Piero took Italy into the World Cup final at Germany's expense with a 2-0 win.
Although I caught only the last part of the half and extra time, it appeared an absorbing semi-final. In the end (the very end!), Grosso curled Pirlo's pass past Jens Lehmann (with just one minute left).
Then as Germany pressed for an equaliser, Del Piero finished with an Italy break and delicate chip into the corner.

Klinsmann, who aspired to pair the great Franz Beckenbauer by obtaining championships as player and coach, had a reality check.
His championship as a player was due to an inexistant penalty kick and all the refferees' help that hsi team received to reach the semis was not enough to earn a ticket to Berlin.
