Germany v Italy | 2006 FIFA World Cup | Full Match

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] dortmund has proved to be a favorite brand for germany but the side are unbeaten they've won 13 out of 14 games here with just a 1-1 draw with wales in 1977 as a blemish germany have sprung a major surprise and omitted bastion schweinsteiger from their team in place tim borowski plays lev mcmill left midfield and sebastian kale who plays here with borussia dortmund takes over from thorsten frings who was suspended after that unseemly end to the germany argentina match in berlin it gives germany a more defensive feel but they do have key players who could swing the match their way and they're more so than lucas podolsky and miroslav klosser have claimed eight goals between them this tournament podolsky and friedrich are potentially just one yellow card away from missing a world cup final [Applause] the last game this referee was in charge of was a sterile meeting of switzerland and ukraine in cologne which ended nil nil and went to penalties he had challenge of the czech republic against italy and hamburg which it had he won by two goals to nil when jan of the czech republic was sent off [Applause] actually in school without central defender alessandro nester but recall marco matarazzi who missed the quarter-final win against ukraine due to suspension de rossi is still serving a four-match ban so the italian team virtually picks itself italy will be looking for repeat of their 4-1 win against germany and a friendly in florence when luca tony was amongst the goal scorers with criminal proceedings facing four italian clubs seven of today's starting eleven don't know which league will be playing in next season only luca tony has scored more than one goal in the tournament spring suspended de rossi how will their suspended affect this game [Applause] jurgen klinsmann who won the 1990 world cup of course he played in italy with enter his opposite number marcelo lippy who had success here with juventus against borussia dortmund next stop berlin for italy and germany it's repeat of the 1970 world cup semi-final won by the italians will the italians be machiavelli or michelangelo in the next 90 minutes or possibly even more sitting alongside me is former england international rodney marsh rodney it's a defensive lineup for the germans today isn't it i also expect it to be a defensive game on parts with italians as well both teams as i said earlier gary both seems very very capable at the back i expect this to be almost a chess match who will eventually get checkmate this is friedrich be right back for germany swaps passes with balak pirlo totti and pillow again wolf whistles as the italians have possession here with zambrota cameron outside thorstein frings suspended after that brawl at the end of the match in berlin he will be able to play in the final of the third and fourth place game jen slayman the hero of berlin for those penalty saves [Applause] two of the best goalkeepers in the world of either end of the pitch tonight with a header flipped on my pillow and here's totty on towards luca tony friedrich should get there first not the most convincing of back pulses [Applause] zambota camaronesi [Music] has drawn the foul we've seen quite a lot of this diving heavenly during this world cup gary and that's another example of it knocks the ball away goes after it and then suddenly decides he's been tackled [Applause] headed clear by canavaro good awesome schneider's won the throw in towards miroslav the tempo is furious early on here [Music] foul by kale and the referee asking him to retreat 10 yards [Music] [Applause] inevitably it's going to be pillow to take the free kick [Music] decent effort on goal well held by lehman literally started brightly wasn't well that's right yes and uh that was a free kick from all of about 35 yards totty on target took a slight deflection as well well handled by layman pedolsky [Music] germany have only scored once against italy in their last three meetings of the teams [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let it run [Applause] the thorn gave an inspired performance against ukraine how much will they miss schweinsteiger tonight rodney well it's a tactical switch isn't it and uh it's one that surprised me actually germans started off in their normal 4-4-2 system and that's what you'd expect wouldn't you and that clearance by layman just about one bet by the italians [Applause] [Music] be [Music] balak who scored in the world kept semi-final four years ago but was booked just before that missed the final happy to make out for that tonight hoping to go to a world cup final for the first time michael bennett borowski with a free kick watch out for bellack here he is really dangerous for these set plays this will not wide to schneider bit of a gift really for youtube but back to schneider again [Applause] schneider it's been a busy opening five and a half minutes [Applause] [Music] won every domestic honor relative novice and the opposing dugout jurgen klinsmann [Applause] well i was talking about the system that uh germany play gary which obviously it's 4-4-2 italians on the other hand they play this uh sort of fluid system that ends up being almost five four one at times with the luca tonight on his own [Applause] germany won it back tony was looking for a free kick closer [Applause] [Music] we're all ready we've had four or five fouls by the italians they uh they do come in late sometimes and he definitely caught him on that occasion referee played the advantage rule [Applause] foreign what do you call an argentine playing in a world cup semi-final come out on 80. born in argentina naturalized italian [Applause] the leading goal scorer at the world cup finals he was on target four years ago and would like to do the same here well that's nice build up play by closer wasn't it and when the ball comes back to balak it kind of actually a little bit goes miles wide but i tell you what early on the germans seem to have a little bit of the advantage [Applause] yeah two world-class players as well [Applause] closer [Applause] as soon as italy had possession germany just scurrying back [Music] this one not wide towards the fullback zambrotto links up then with pillow quality of italy's possession is excellent isn't it this will knock forward dangerously towards the onrushing simoni perotta [Applause] for the first time you know rodney i think jimmy looked nervous in this competition they look very nervous don't they but having said that gary i think both teams look a little bit sensitive as you might expect a semi-final cup [Applause] [Music] that's a fine ball by totty tony almost went for the ball padotta rape all in towards cameron and he needed a big challenge there to get the ball out of danger by philip lahm the left then [Applause] italy crashing here pillow in towards totty it's almost a turn but the two were close enough to share a shaving mirror [Music] corner then to italy who started brightly some nervous anxiety in the crowd amongst the german fans matarazzi had it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] but no great accuracy about it well that's right i think it's been a bright start by both teams actually both teams are trying to get forward trying to create chances it's not one of those defensive games like we thought it might be having said that gary you can look at the systems and you can look at the players and you know that it's desperately tight just by looking at it don't you they're all squeezed up towards a halfway line [Applause] a thin strip of white and blue and the flare players looking for that bit of space schneider rather knocking it wide to schneider schneider with the call back to friedrich this is balak literally have a lot of players behind the ball now balak that's a fine ball podolsky slam the ball against canavaro ballack appeals for handball not given here's a counter-attack by the italians luca tony oh he was caught there by met zelda and isn't too happy with metzeler there's simon we're really into the heat of the battle now [Applause] who scored italy's fierce goal in this competition against ghana even the uh usually cool jurgen klinsmann is looking a little bit agitated his side have not really got out the blocks yet but that says a lot about the quality of italy so far well we've had 13 minutes so far and it seems to me as though this game could end up being a midfield battle lippy um i think he's probably the happy of the two coaches at the start of the game and uh jurgen klinsmann there he's probably thinking i hope my team gets into it soon remember germany struggled here against poland and needed a 90th minute winner through oliver nerville to win that game and make sure they progressed out of the group stage i think it's uh neutral you'd want to see an early goal here because it would tempt the other team to come out and play this is luca cheney off-site we talked about it being a bit of a chess match and it's that's exactly how it seems to be stacking up doesn't it both teams seem to me gary that they're okay they want to go forward but at the moment we've not seen any real um continued attacks have we no shortage of vocal support now for germany as they press here with podolski he picks out surprise inclusion tonight it's been a hot and sultry day here in dortmund just beginning to cool off now as borowski crosses his ball great ball by closer great clearance by canavaro one of the best defenders in the world is working overtime to subdue the german threat what an easy job and there's an opening here for bellack who goes around one challenge appeals for him against [Music] [Applause] [Music] well this is the first opportunity of the game of any real quality right through the middle layman comes out very very brave and has failed on a second attempt trying to uh get possession i'll tell you what the handball at the other end was it a handball oh it could have been couldn't it i've seen them given both ways actually hello maybe slightly fortunate there's a real bike to this game now camera macy picks up luca tony shot by torchy takes a big deflection and athletically kept in play by enslavement this is turning out to be one of the better games of the knockout stages we have seen some pretty sterile matches [Applause] of the match the italians must have done their homework and know that michael banak is a danger at these set plays there's a queue of germans on the edge of the penalty area waiting to pounce including met zelda and mertosaka the two central defenders this to the near post flicked on dangerously and all the way through to schneider he and totty fall over each other the man nicknamed the prince of italian football totty [Applause] tony he has to be the most complete center forward playing in italy for the present time first striker to reach 30 goals in a semi-auth season for 47 years and he got off the mark at the world cup finals with two goals in the last match against ukraine though one was paintly offside [Applause] [Music] onto my head please it's knocked on short here to pillow and that's a rather peculiar ball by pillow can hear what the german fans think of that they're not impressed that's more like it luca tony's after it and jan slayman has to use the full length of his 18-yard box to defend that long ball [Applause] rodney who would you have a head on point at the moment well it's very very early days what 19 minutes gone and uh so far we've only seen really one half chance haven't we [Applause] talking get out my luck nice fluid football here by the germans back to podolsky canavaro he is a man mountain how good has he been in the first what 20 minutes how good has canavaro been awesome bellac [Applause] bonovsky just about keeps it in play and then wins a throw off the left back has had a very good tournament [Applause] good also hesitated it's all the way through to layman for so many years the italian national team have been criticized for going to these major championships and playing fearful football and they've gone out not since 1990 when turtle scalachi dominated the world cup they had a team that's gone out and played with that flare but so many of their supporters won i think the problem is as well is that whenever italy get one new up they tend to sit back on their lead and they're famous for that over the years [Applause] kale decent effort by podolsky the chance was there and he is the orchestrator of the crowd as well come on get behind the team yes and there was a good ball there wasn't it not an easy chance edge of the area podolski way over the crossbar but uh good football budget but the germans scored both goals against sweden in the last round [Applause] also scored against ecuador caught by cameron referee waves play on here's reno the one scored an outrageous goal against england i remember in a friendly game it's his only international goal and when he was in that position there rodney i thought he was going to shoot balek went down so easy didn't he and lost possession gatusa with a shot from about 25 yards almost uh one of those where layman had to come out and pick it up free kick to germany [Applause] how about this atmosphere it's a bit special isn't it in dortmund city center this lunch time there was hardly a person in the streets who hadn't got some german colors around them or on them or painted on their cheeks it was just extraordinary [Applause] kale a little bit of space for him chips it in towards bella kale again surrounded by blue shirts and then canevaro smacks the ball against a german and it's all the way through to gigi buffon peeler [Applause] [Applause] yeah just a trip that is a foul i'm glad the referee so far as well as keeping his yellow cards in his pocket inevitably it's going to be pillow to take this free kick [Music] who missed it well he's claiming a corner there's a bit of an argument here involving layman but matarazzi was the danger man there as pillows free kick was whipped in it was a chance wasn't it and uh it came off the german defender in the end and uh half chance there should have been a corner mataransi with another towering header [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is lovely football by the italians the azuri are really flowing at the moment kemaranesi might just get there it's a thumbs up because him at an 80 knows and his teammates know italy have settled quickly well 25 minutes gone and they have played some nice football already but we do need a goal in this football match don't we i think we do the patience is the key of course it was early in the second half when argentina took the lead against germany took germany until 10 minutes from the end to equalize and then the drama of that penalty shootout and villain actually enjoying the lion's share of possession yeah that's not a surprising stat either because they have had in midfield they have had the majority of the football and here's miroslav closer podolski wakes in the middle canavaro is having one heck of a game [Applause] [Music] camera let's see what karate was trying to achieve there [Applause] standing in for the suspended torsten frames [Applause] this one aimed towards tony come on amazing bump shoulders with padovsky this is the most animated we've seen you again klinsmann [Applause] [Applause] without indicating schneider friedrich away by mataratsu was caught very late here [Music] when he got caught here gary it was late but i don't think that's intentional that's just part of the game mataranzi all tattoos and tenacity [Applause] it's broken here to simone perrotta [Applause] italy camped in the gym in half here cameron easy [Music] and that's going to be a free kick [Applause] will this be the first yellow card cameron actually beats the defender last defender alarm down the right hand side drags him down from behind [Applause] no yellow card that kind of sets a standard doesn't it it's pillar who stands menacingly over the football luca tony in a far post position matarashi's forward a bit of pushing and shoving going on which isn't to the referee's liking camavado is in there too being bought knocked in short tony there's a clever idea by the italians dragging the ball back towards torti plo [Music] [Applause] you can see the slow-motion replay there's out the decision of the referee's assistant so finally balanced what uh what a finely balanced football match we're watching tonight layman there's that understanding between luigi buffon and his central defender fabio canevado born out of their atomic juventus together whether they'll be juventus next season is a metro conjecture well after 30 minutes as well they do look comfortable with the mcdonald's the italians [Applause] goodness me fantastic play down the left-hand side and when grosser gets wet to the dead ball line almost in comes across good defending in the end [Applause] of italia italian ring around this stadium [Music] mataratsu has gone forward headed clear by friedrich well out of all the knockout games i've seen so far rodney this has been the best so far so i think the italians have been a better team pierlo cameron another corner kick cello lippy must be delighted but absolutely nothing on the scoresheet yet [Music] against layman [Applause] good also [Applause] you spell this for the italians put them put it under pressure canavaro comes up for all corner kicks as well doesn't he yeah just to the right of your picture there number five canavado jogs forward not only and then mountain defensively but also lend his height and weight to the italian attack told you to take the corner good catch by lemon two in a row two corner kicks straight into the hands of layman schneider matarazzi the italian tackling has been absolutely first class [Applause] schneider very high up around the midriff there of canavaro vanakku's been a peripheral figure so far i think uh italy wanted the ball back after putting it out deliberately here's canavaro he's giving it away to podolski free kick i don't like that you know gary that's uh when you kick the ball out deliberately when a player gets injured i think that's a bit of a nonsense and i'd like to see that changed lippy and clinton have made up over that incident cello lippy certainly looks calmer than his opposite number pillow poor ball by pillow of all people podolski minislav klossa great ball schneider what a chance what a chance this is slack played by the italians when the ball comes in well controlled laid it wide to schneider he's got to do better than that hasn't he got to hit the target we say you got to hit the target that is a great chance if germany do not work it walk out in berlin on sunday in the world cup final they'll look to that opportunity and wonder was that a key moment in this match it was culpable there giving the ball away wasn't he [Applause] oh into the advertising holdings and he didn't want to shake his hand [Music] [Applause] philip lahm [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we're trying to pick out schneider here good football again wasn't it it was closer crossfield passed it's not it gets forward very well doesn't he that's twice in the last couple of minutes that he's been involved could spill this for germany only france and slovakia have stopped germany scoring in their last 30 internationals it's a tall order but italy could be made for it [Applause] still belak [Music] [Applause] with an orthodox clearance [Applause] well italy with a lion's share of possession so far 58 but as we say in football it's not the possession it's what you do with it cannavado chops forward again then the last two chords have been caught by enslavement toti [Applause] strange position for the left back i thought he was tripped there by balak [Applause] so more pressure brought to bear on that german gong tony waits with a chance andrea pillow with the free kick here for italy went through a host of players [Applause] schneider friedrich is the front runner there could be a break here for germany navarro won the ball from klossa [Music] murtazaka has to get there first because simone quadota was galloping onto it germany's still unhappy about that challenge by canavado when he won the ball from behind you something wrong with that i thought it's a clean challenge and a very important challenge as well because they have three against two at the back closer let's have a look at that one again yeah as you see goes in wins the ball nothing wrong for me in that tackle although jurgen klinsmann thinks it was closer podulsky [Applause] what a fascinating duel between these two countries friedrich pillow kenmore lazy just hesitated phillips went back [Music] jotty that's a free kick and the german's not happy because they're comparing the challenge by canavado and that challenge there first yellow card have a look does he get the ball i think it's a yellow card's a good decision there comes in late from behind catches his ankle and we know that tackle from behind his yellow card [Music] is the first player to be cautioned in this world cup semi-final [Applause] focus just come back after raking an ankle the players know as well gary that you can't go through the back of a player to win the ball they know that rule anyway but maybe the referee by not pulling up out canavaro angered one of two german players [Music] i think he's done well so far the referee well the first 40 minutes have flown by pillow foul podolski has to be careful here he's on the yellow card and would miss the final if germany were to win if he picks up another caution [Music] [Applause] pillow flicked on dangerously but not that accurately by cameron yes gabaldon wasn't it perlo serves a nice ball into the near post can't get it down i'll tell you what as well we said at the start of the game uh this could be a chess match this is a chess match on a knife edge [Applause] [Applause] schneider buffon as far as kale reforms back in position now but oski [Applause] met zelda i think at half time nippy will be the happier manager and the big question would be would there be any changes at halftime i wouldn't have thought so they'll probably wait until 60 minutes well the obvious change might see nasty and schweinsteiger introduced to give germany a more cutting edge [Applause] they are built to defend at the moment this german side this is a captivating football match isn't it the entertainment tool to get on with the game matarazzi wins that little duel with closer somehow germany haven't managed to get michael bellack into the game yet but here he is now i don't know why i think that so freaky here to germany [Applause] mom [Applause] mataransi gail you're too sir [Applause] what's the referee going to do here free kick to germany fell by totty he's totally told to get up oh well ballot goes over the top of the ball doesn't he totally gets out of the way it comes off worse closer [Applause] [Music] [Applause] as we move into stoppage time and there'll be one minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half yeah and the big question is where's the goal going to come from will it be a mistake at the back would it be a dead ball situation a free kick a corner kick or will it be a stroke of brilliance by one of these two teams [Applause] [Music] again and he left the ball behind and here it goes oh the again clinton told him to knock it to the right and then he tried to feed the ball down the inside left channel [Music] [Applause] plo [Applause] offside [Applause] i think lippy will be disappointed italy hasn't taken the lead so far but if you're happy with the way they're playing though technically they've been they've been terrific italy we're still no closer knowing who's on their way to berlin the halftime whistle has standed rodney your thoughts briefly on that first half well i thought at the top of the show we talked about it being a very tense game it has been that two defenses pretty much on top we'll leave it changes at half time so actually definitely ahead in terms of possession but the halftime score in this world cup semi-final from dortmund is germany nil italy now there are five key steps to tackling the coronavirus hands elbow face distance and feel messy frequency or geodesic with your elbows bent please cover your nose and mouth if you sneeze or cough if using tissues dispose of them immediately [Music] [Music] foreign it's italy to restart the game they've only conceded one goal so far at the world cup finals and that was an own goal here to see if christian zicardo italy have never lost to germany in a world cup tie [Applause] so italy restart the game this the 29th meeting of the countries actually have won 13 times to germany's seven wins totti trying to win the ball early in the second half a little bit of space here for bannock good possession here by germany schneider podolski klossa all whipped away from him by matarazzi and kale with a shot which is why well when it comes to slayer half time because they've started very very brightly i don't know it's a nice little bit of interplay with balak there ball comes in well defended in the end by italy but whatever clinton said at half time he's gotten riled [Applause] but still picked out a teammate luca attorney was just bumped before he got the ball [Applause] murtazaka offside [Applause] rosso will leave this free kick mataranzi and he'll leave it to pillar [Applause] get you set outside good idea to try to pick out zambolotta [Applause] he's looking right along the line as well he knows he's offside he always uh gets my goat that does you know when that happens the players looking right across the line he actually knows he's offside he's still standing there closer in towards podolski just about cleared by glossa tony dottie [Applause] andrea pillow emma renee's initial touch is four towards the quality of the ball played to him balofsky [Applause] [Applause] it's going to go dead david warming up here for germany he plays here with borussia dortmund he came on to great effect against poland and set up the winning goal for oliver nerville [Applause] bastian schweinsteiger alongside him i think it is grosser pmo [Applause] [Applause] the top scorer at the world cup finals going all the way might break here to kale but come on first and it's pillow and here comes the italian counter attack good also [Applause] tortilla and crossover for italy great save by layman well it is a terrific play isn't it sir by layman good interplay grosso gets clean through offside he's offside but leymah comes out ever so quickly doesn't he and at the other end well the other end there's great run by closer it wasn't a penalty uh the german players appealed for it but in the end good defending [Music] meanwhile it looks like uh grosso has picked up an injury yeah he clattered into layman didn't he layman by the way didn't know he was offside he had to make the save slight concern here for fabio grosso from the palermo club the man who won a controversial penalty against australia in the final minute of the match falling over lucas neal you're being kind when you say falling over and i think i thought it was an out and out of dive [Applause] you see layman there doesn't know that he's offside and he has to come out and go down at his feet good saved by lehman even though he was offside [Music] but otto will give possession back here to jens lehmann and germany will start again still goalless then in the world cup final world cup semi-final rather podolsky [Applause] pillow torchy [Applause] closer [Applause] such an i7 flow about this semi-final [Applause] plo rosso who is okay after that collision with jens lehmann [Applause] but otto's the target [Applause] corner but otto never gave up there did he aroma man did really well [Applause] friedrich off balance and all the big guns come forward here for actually [Music] including metadata you see uh jens lehmann winning the goalkeeper of the tournament award can't you well it's going to be very closely run by buffon at the other end they surely are the two best goalkeepers in the world at the moment [Music] tries to get away from philip llamas had a really good competition how about that telling schneider to go forward and noticed on this near side of ski padovsky for germany well they'd have to be some shot to beat buffon from that range that's right came inside and he's right for me he took it on waves 30 yards out head down toe down son splash over the crossbar if they are going to make a change uh germany that is a dunkirk would come on on the right hand side for schneider he came on against argentina in that position he looked very very lively when he came on he's certainly fast isn't he good also [Applause] nervous anticipation written all over the face of jurgen klinsmann and his assistant the volcano has yet to erupt volcanio the volcano the nickname given to this ground in dortmund clash of head to link or maybe the elbow there of closer hit the nose of matarazzi nothing in that at all gary i think it was just a brush in the shoulder across the face there's nothing in that at all [Applause] it's gonna be a yellow card surely well how many times have we said this as well you can't go through the back of players to win the ball [Applause] we've seen so many in this tournament of that kind of challenge players by now you think they get the idea wouldn't you come on amazing plo the prize is so great isn't it neither of these teams wants to make a mistake alex del pierro one of the substitutes i think that's uh alongside him still no sign of a breakthrough who will be going to berlin on sunday for the final [Applause] where the possibilities there [Applause] first signs that i've seen of luca tony just beginning to tire got to nearly an hour of running podolski and here's bellack friedrich picks out schneider philip radofsky good possession here by the germans [Applause] except plo [Music] [Applause] of course italy have got uh in zagar haven't they he could come on for luka tony look at tony your right does look tired but that's a lone striker role out front actually a lot of hard work and they have scientino as well [Applause] the italians still hopeful that they'll be heading for berlin on sunday [Applause] got there first of course he did tolty's taking a whack in his face kale's boot was dangerously high [Applause] this really is a competition for francesco totti to shine there's nowhere near his face that's for a star [Applause] earlier in the tournament do something similar to that when uh poryo came across him and and challenged him in the chest with it with an outstretched arm jerry omri went down like you've been hitting the face with a cannon i've seen quite a lot of that this tournament motorcycle great ball by totty but once again offside against simone perotta this german uh back four is really well marshalled isn't it certainly is and they hold the line very well don't they do you know when you look at the german team in the 442 system you can actually see exactly how they're playing they play as one don't they kale friedrich schneider [Applause] one thing's for sure it isn't gonna be a full three match like it was in 1970 here's balak there's a second ball on the pitch momentarily schneider [Applause] friedrich what you're seeing here gary is two tremendous football teams with great individual players technically and tactically brilliantly coached and that's why we have a bit of a stalemate going to break the style mate where's your money you're the expert yeah is this the breakthrough gloss awaits schneider's got forward bellack's up here for germany caught by matarazzi referee allows the advantage [Applause] [Applause] clears the crossbar well it was good play down the right hand side again yet again wasn't it great turn by podolski well saved by buffon and when the shot comes in snatches at it again over the crossbar jurgen klinsmann is not a happy man who's living in california makes you soft it's going to take something special to beat these goalkeepers as well isn't it two of the best [Applause] schneider free down the right loss has put his head down run into the challenge of canavado but gives it back to kenevato unwittingly [Applause] doctor [Applause] [Music] no sign of a change so far for either team [Applause] [Music] flicker tony [Applause] wondering whether to make a change a scratch of the head that isn't perspirationally sure it's the bottles of water has been kicking [Applause] rosso went to graham but i'm not sure he was actually [Applause] hurt that much let's see that's a foul isn't it and then he got wax on the head for his trouble by a closer's knee [Applause] [Applause] on the far side it was embroidered [Applause] ski [Applause] schneider way by metaratsy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] balak [Applause] great turn my camera nazi and now andrea pillow so many white shirts now behind the ball toti pilo just one or two signs of virtually getting frustrated rodney yeah and um i was just looking at and thinking who's gonna make the change first obviously we will see some substitutions i've got a funny feeling you know that it will be germany that makes the first change i think the onus is on them uh to come out and start to get a little bit more forward you're too soon having said that when you do that the italians can hit you on the counter can't they i'm not bad at that enter [Applause] and there's burnt schneider and bellack and podolsky podolski against just the minutes of playing against canavado seem to put podolski off it put me off [Applause] peanut [Applause] just hesitated he's lost the ball to closer actually have to get back now it's ballack for germany options here burdowski's four wasn't good enough to podolski and he's chased all the way on that far side by zambrotta every time you think one of these two teams seems destined to score somehow they run into the opposing defense the game then swings in the opposite direction kenmore nazi tony totty schneider gradually germany inch forward bellack all the noise coming from the german fans now it's friedrich balak friedrich and he's caught mataratzi who gets up quickly free kick [Applause] actually for the moment down to walking pace this could be a long long night actually in possession here with mataransi zambrota sambrota now offside against kenmon and ac i'm so frustrated camera and ac that that misplaced pass finds him offside and schweinsteiger is coming on now for germany just as you predicted rodney the germans will make the first change yes and uh if italy had the better of the first half then certainly uh the second half has begun to germany they've been dependent team in the second half it's looking like porosity will be the player coming off for germany and spines uh striker will go into that left-sided position and he does get forward better as well doesn't he that's the idea barack [Applause] 20 minutes away from extra time here in dortmund in this world kept semi-final schneider granovsky [Music] goes chasing the ball but ran into gatuso who stayed down and when gatuso stays down you know he's hurt looks like he's got grant the german fans are claiming katuso is feigning this to stop the game [Music] those legs have been pumping all night and for three weeks [Applause] sir bulowski will come off here and a defensive midfield player makes way for an attacking one bastian schweinsteiger [Applause] if schweinsteiger was disappointed he was left out of the original starting 11. he can now prove to jagan klinsmann it's worth in this team well he's got 18 minutes of regular time 30 minutes of extra time and not the old dreaded penalties again surely [Applause] you can't see a winner can you you just said the dreaded p word rodney [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he's giving away a free kick it's a change here for italy gillardino will come on i imagine he will probably replace luke attorney who looks very tired and is down to walking pace [Applause] well luca tony has spent uh the whole of the second half chasing shadows hasn't he been up there on his own uh he's worked very very hard and here comes the change so off goes tony on goes giladino who scored the first goal against germany and then friendly in march in florence which ended 4-1 to italy scored in the 1-1 draw against the usa in kaiserslautern scored 24 goals last season for milan and it looks like italy might play with totti and geladino up front and also pushed forward [Applause] literally for once on side here with tamora nazi murtazaker with a clearance [Applause] literally have not been as good as the opening 45 minutes of the running well that's right yeah germany are certainly at the better of the second half and with that change with schweinsteiger coming down left down side you'd expect them to get forward even more wouldn't [Applause] there you go that's why the referee's assistant put his flag up michelle dino offside [Applause] last 15 minutes and of course any mistake any player makes on the field now could be absolutely crucial pillow getting it wide here headed out of harm's way by kale [Applause] sam rotter's cross dangerous initially [Music] rare corner kick here for the italians who are no great hurry to get on with the game at the moment [Applause] germany conceded via a corner against argentina in berlin but the unrushing yetz layman comes to their rescue friedrich [Applause] podolski that was a fine war schweinsteiger his first real touch surrounded by blue shirts and it's hemorrhaging more ball to gillardino and there's a free kick to italy here [Music] german country team in front of us throw their hands in the air in despair i think they can see what many people in this ground can see extra time and possibly even penalties [Music] pillow and this is grosso [Applause] swift delivery from lehman and rats is right underneath it to munch them all down to pierlo [Applause] gatusa matarazzi [Applause] no phelp here's kale balak kale mama's got forward well here for germany [Applause] phillip to take the threat kale slipped [Applause] balak all the balls given away here but the referees spotted an infringement [Music] didn't see a lot wrong with that rodney no i think bullet went a little bit higher actually didn't catch him did he but uh referee gives a foul to italy for the fellow mataratsu i was just thinking you know i wonder if if germany might make a second change and bring on nouveau well it might be a very long night angela merkel and uh romano proddy the prime minister are literally looking rather bored at the moment [Applause] closer [Applause] [Music] so many italian players are out of position now if germany can spring forward hale went down to walking pace and the momentum of the attack is apparently lost last 10 minutes [Applause] schneider away by canavado schweinsteiger rosette podolski and they're claiming uh an incident here i presume it can only suggest it's a corner or a foul well he's given a free kick to germany for a foul on podolski by canavaro and if he's given a foul for that that looked to me like that was inside the penalty area it was schweinsteiger who had the shot but a foul on podolski and bellack's putting the ball down right deep inside the d there it is it's inside the penalty area if that's a foul that's a penalty [Applause] well well well [Applause] this'll take a while to sort [Applause] any time he's been beaten in these finals is from his own player [Applause] balak's the golden boy of german football he wants it and scored the winner four years ago of course against korea in the semi-final back disappointment from the german fans inside the stadium eight minutes to go but with a chance he's uh trying to bend it for the top corner very poor wasn't it for a world-class footballer very poor so davidonker from borussia dortmund here well come on for germany and it's schneider the change that you talked about earlier rodney adonka one of the fastest players in the bundesliga [Applause] you do get the impression actually now have that eye an extra time yes you do they're very very hard to break down aren't they it goes to penalties of course germany have one of the best records of any country in the world germany are so strong in that department italy had one of the worst records that's quite right as well i can tell you this that in the history of the world cup uh germany have taken 18 penalties and scored 17 amazingly [Applause] schweinsteiger [Applause] [Applause] knocked to the ground and he didn't like that challenge from balak and then change his mind there's like a character out of an opera isn't it [Applause] now this looks interesting he's on side parata away by lehman layman's flattered padotta who stayed down the donker shades of schumacher well i want to see this again because it looked to me as though layman come out punch the ball and then follow through with his feet let's have a look at it he's not off side out comes layman oh he did follow through didn't he it was like a cutting food kick wasn't it elbow yeah [Music] i wonder if layman will be part of the drama if it goes to penalties well he must be muslim [Applause] stuck in [Applause] last five minutes of the 90 in this world cup semi-final still nothing to choose between germany and italy going to italy [Applause] i guess when you sum this game up so far rodney how many saves are the goalkeeper had to make uh the spot on not too many have they been and in the second half italy have been a shadow of the team they were in the first half but it's still an ill nil and as we talked about at the top of the program these are two very very well matched teams aren't they closer ran into pillow then won the ball back met zelda with that duel with kenmore schweinsteiger and towards podolski and a great intervention there by metaratsy [Applause] three minutes to go one mistake now and you're on the plane home unless you're germany of course you there's a third and fourth place game to contest of course on saturday [Applause] schweinsteiger [Applause] [Applause] balak friedrich yeah can he pick out a donker we know peeler [Applause] not a great ball to simone perdota who did well to win the challenge with friedrich on here to off gillardino he just lost the ball to phillip that was an important tackle by the left back of germany [Applause] waiting to pounce and here's a donkey yeah sloppy wasn't it sloppy play but don't currently been on the pitch for about 10 minutes hasn't really got into the pace of the game yet [Applause] i might need a bit of help here well they can have no complaints with that kenny that's just the the old lunge you know the one footed lunge that all the referees were told about at the start of this world cup if players lunge in one footed and it's dangerous it's an automatic yellow card [Applause] i wonder if there's to be a late dramatic goal for germany just as they found against poland here [Applause] we're in the final minute of the 90 and germany i think you're gonna have a free kick can germany find a goal to take them to berlin three minutes of stoppage time now being played you would hear the roar in berlin if germany score now [Applause] he's complaining that nobody really attacked his flick on [Applause] realize it's going to be extra time [Applause] involving wayne rooney [Music] [Applause] good also back to mataratsu [Music] so [Applause] well clearly the italians are happy to go to extra time and uh they've not risked getting forward in the second half we've pretty much been on the back foot the whole of the 45 minutes schweinsteiger away by padotta friedrich last minute of stoppage time a donkey flying crossed by a donker all the way through to schweinsteiger though not the time to try and be fancy and just to finish that point as well gary and that is that uh the italians are not afraid to defend they're very happy when they're in possession they're comfortable at the back canavaro has been absolutely magnificent tonight it seems to me as though italy defending neil neil are quite comfortable and quite happy with it the referee brings an end to the 90 minutes we're going to have 30 minutes of extra time and possibly even penalties to decide who goes to the world cup final layman has defended well hasn't had any big saves to make so far the farm at the other end has been solid but he too hasn't had much to do and the score after 90 minutes of this world kept semi-final in dortmund is germany [Applause] the start of the first period of extra time remember italy have yet to lose to germany in a world cup tie at the finals [Applause] germany gets the first period of extra time underway they've not lost a world cup semi-final since 1970 when they lost to the italians [Applause] that's a long long time yeah quinta his first real touch falls over kale and they bump and bruise each other [Music] so two changes made by marcelo lippy and giladino now is away geladino against the upright desperately unlucky real scare for germany quint is waiting here might come through to gillardino this is kale and now schweinsteiger [Applause] get out by canavaro germany have got very lucky indeed [Applause] swept into jaquinta comes off long well what a chance here for gillardino it was brilliant play by ladino wasn't it down the right side comes back inside of balak beats layman off the inside of the post [Applause] sometimes you need a little bit of luck to get to a final as pielo drives the ball in oh they've hit the frame and a goal again [Applause] who gave it to the lead in the quarter-final against the ukraine smashes one against the crossbar well that close you have to be layman unsighted by the weight by the near fosan russia struck it well hit the post hit the woodwork twice in a minute is it to be germany's night [Applause] fellaic looking for a donkey [Applause] actually have begun this first period of extra time strongly yeah quinta [Applause] another corner [Applause] layman beaten twice in the first three minutes after woodwork twice [Music] [Applause] [Music] canavardo with a header and he's unable to pick out a gully [Applause] very deep corner kick but don't get [Applause] takes over can he steer germany towards berlin way by zambra [Applause] and here is sebastian schweinsteiger podolski and lahm [Applause] [Music] good play by lam again down the left-hand side gets past ambrosi's fouled dangerous position and that had been a yellow card he would miss the next game is this the moment for germany [Applause] schweinsteiger with a free kick [Applause] against the neck of pillow and it's a corner [Applause] only phillip lahm back on defensive beauty for germany everybody else is pushed forward trying to find a opening goal here [Applause] missed it not long tail [Applause] they're stuck in italian playing he's gone down collaxed it's metaratsy [Applause] well it's a shot from about 25 yards i don't know what he's gone down for that's just a good defensive header in my book [Applause] seems okay [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] schweinsteiger friedrich oganka islam actually pressed back defensively now giladino picks out his club mate at milan pilot [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] then [Applause] so we've had just over seven minutes of the first period of extra time yes layman's goal has been attacked twice twice germany got lucky [Applause] lamp [Applause] mistakes so high for both these countries [Music] up [Applause] but it only lands in the path of davidonka [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] godolsky that's going to be a free kick to the germans kenovardo can argue all he wants to get his captain's armband now this is a really dangerous position and germany find a goal here schweinsteiger [Applause] [Applause] schweinsteiger's free on the edge of the box so they can pick him out a donker [Applause] i can't help but wonder gary that um with what we've had uh 10 minutes of extra time already i can't hear wondering if looking at jurgen klinsmann if he's thinking um should i bring on oliver neuville closer has been very very quiet for the last maybe 20 25 minutes i just wonder if he might make that change [Applause] neueville for closer [Applause] so far at these finals only one goal has been scored in extra time [Music] that's a goal by maxie rodriguez terrific left-wing volley against mexico every other game that's gone to extra time has gone to penalties we've got to the 100 minute mark now [Applause] great control of the football [Applause] alex del piero ready and strip for action [Applause] yeah quintet forced away from goal by met zelda tortilla giladino pillow well it wasn't struck with any real conviction was it it was 25 yards out [Applause] worth a try i suppose but uh not struck with any real threat matarazzi [Applause] net zelda when i should pick out friedrie [Applause] [Applause] matt zelda put out by kennevada i wonder how many times i've said that tonight [Applause] balak [Applause] the referee calling on the medical teams immediately [Music] [Applause] and you saw that one out well there's just two players going for a ball in the air isn't it just a clash of heads don't think it's deliberate what's ballot doing back in the left back position though that would be my question [Music] [Applause] angela merkel the chancellor of germany and romano proddy the new prime minister of italy and the president of germany all enjoying a laugh your professors is a nickname this is alex del pieno incidentally the golden boy of juventus nobody scored more goals for uva than annex del pierro [Applause] the last available change for the italians [Applause] he'll go and play down the left-hand side money exactly in the same position that perato was playing might be useful in free kicks and corner kicks though del pierro he has scored the occasional brilliant free kick isn't he last minute of the first period of extra time that's a fine ball to del pierre pumped off the ball by a donkey hedged on by the huge dortmund crowd and he hits the ball far too long to bastion schweinsteiger it was a fantastic play by the young man though wasn't it winning the second on his own what 20 20 yards from his own goal and the length of the pitch when he needed a bit of quality overhits his cross he looks like an olympic sprinter who has found his way into a national football team by accident gillardino [Applause] this might find alex del pierro but he'll have friedrich for company [Applause] [Music] no foul schweinsteiger picks out bellick almost played the one minute of stoppage time at the end of the first period of extra time at donca podesta and germans all around the crowd hold their heads where they'll never have a better opportunity than this it's a fantastic ball in completely unmarked canavaro has given him four yards he has to score from that range bad bad missed by podolski it's the last incident of the first period of extra time which has seen the german frame of the goal hit twice and now podolski's missed a very presentable chance at the end of the first period of extra time it's still nil it's opening up rodney slowly but surely isn't it as they get tired yeah [Applause] germany still have one change to make bearing in mind that uh oliver nerville is a penalty taker yep i would expect him to come on that's right and he came on against uh argentina came off a closer in that game and scored the penalty they should turn straight around here there shouldn't be a break clincy finding time to have a bit of a smile germany put their fans through the emotional shredder in berlin aren't they gonna do the same here in dortmund italy restart the game they've reached the world cup final every 12 years since 1970 they did it in 70 82 1994 will it be 2006 if we don't get a goal in the next 15 minutes it'll be penalties to decide who goes to berlin on sunday we're going to berlin as the cry from the german fence again [Applause] grosso [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] a donkey roar of approval here in dortmund that's one of their own went to corner kick off crossover [Applause] schweinsteiger with a corner [Applause] [Music] away here for italy yeah quinta oh it was uh so many possibilities there for jaquinta friedrich got back and so too did a donkey slim the playing surface in frustration [Applause] it's a corner to italy and pillow takes it philip literally scurrying back now [Applause] schweinsteiger that was up here for a donkey [Applause] [Music] scored the opening goal of the world cup finals after just six minutes well the game's getting stretched isn't it end-to-end stuff and uh italy with a corner kick from the corner kick layman wins possession around the other end when the ball comes in to learn he couldn't do exactly what he did in the first game in the tournament could he bend me into that top corner [Applause] [Music] will he be one of the characters to define this football match in a penalty shootout del piero and del pieno has conceded the free kick although he doesn't agree with the decision i think it's going to be that time for nouveau any moment now balak [Applause] i think he must have heard you close up matarazzi [Applause] alex del piedo has managed to make an impression so far oliver nerville will come on very shortly the donker wasn't fouled according to the referee yeah quinter tries to outrun bastian schweinsteiger and he wins the throw-in substitution about to unfold now now just as you predicted rodney it's closer his part is played in this semi-final [Music] he's running himself into the ground tonight closer but he's not much joy in the last 30 or 40 minutes and uh comes on he's got what uh how long has he got to try and influence this game there's an opening here del piero it's still del piero where's he going [Music] [Applause] almost a break through there for the italians 10 minutes to go rodney neville scored a late dramatic winner here against poland set up by a donkey who's got the ball now kale is just a moment for germany oh what to say to deny pedolsky a world-class save by a world-class goalkeeper and what a save this is you're dead right podolski with a shot it is straight at buffon but he gets his hands up very very quickly good play by germany the shave neville with a corner germany press for a winner now phillip lahm away by mataratsi [Applause] and del pierro now balak try to catch him and he couldn't do yeah quinta del piero makes his way in the middle and friedrich happy to come see the corner and congratulated by enslaymen yeah great defending wasn't it by friedrich again he saw the break come across on the cover the game swings one way and then the other and still we're no closer to knowing who's going to the final [Music] del piano with a corner [Music] [Applause] [Music] podulsky [Applause] here back heel picks out geladino del piero [Applause] well well well lovely play by italians wasn't it lovely little back hill here by the way here quincy with the back hill there beautiful play couldn't get it on target snatch the shot this is height drama isn't it break into italy [Applause] [Music] surely italy aren't playing for penalties against the masters of penalty taking germany [Applause] [Applause] well i can't remember the last time gary that germany lost the penalty shootout i don't know if you can well it was the european championship final 1976 against the old czechoslovakia euro 76 final when uh a little big penalty and that's the only penalty shootout they've ever lost they've won everyone since [Applause] [Applause] toti is likely to take a penalty pulled it back here to schweinsteiger is furious with schweinsteiger he thought schweinsteiger was trying to win a free-kick there but at the other end it's totti who gets it right to ya quinta gillardino waiting well the game is stretched now isn't it it's just one into the other there's no midfield i think you saw the headlines in tomorrow tomorrow morning's newspapers [Applause] well nobody closed him down he thought i'd take it on slightly shot wide just about four minutes away from a penalty shootout those fans are gonna have to go through it all again just as we did in berlin against argentina we'll have to go through it too pal [Applause] still just about enough time for somebody to grab a late late dramatic goal let's not discount that [Applause] buffon and layman are the kings of saving penalties [Music] they've got plenty more work to do tonight [Applause] [Music] yeah quintet [Applause] well he picks it up about 25 yards out onto his left foot he bends into the corner i think that's a comfortable save by layman [Applause] two minutes of extra time remain still goalless in the world cup semi-final alex del pierro with a corner pillow [Applause] berlin germany have been silenced what a time to score are you kidding me fantastic little ball by polo inside the fallback brilliantly struck by grosso right in the top corner fantastic goal oh my goodness what a brilliantly taken goal what timing by the italians germany have to score now a donkey away by canavado and bellac shoots wide italy have only conceded one goal here at the world cup finals are just second away from reaching the final in berlin as grosso with only his second international goal the man who's won that controversial penalty against australia has scored the goal of his life and look at lippy [Applause] what a magnificent goal that was it's now or never for germany is the party over for them [Applause] here we come the tears will flow here in dorman from the german fans alex still piano with the last kick in the game victory for italy they make the world cup final as they've done every 12 years since 1970. well what fantastic play by italy on the council attack germany going forwards beautiful little ball inside el pierro he bends it into the top corner brilliantly taken goal italian

it's half 11 at night and it's germany in tears germany you win the semifinal extra time by two goals to help [Music] well what a story rodney well two fantastically taken goals weren't they by um russia and del piero two brilliantly taken goals italy went to nil and they go all the way to berlin what drama do you deserve it yes hit the woodwork twice and fourth place um in cologne italy are
