France 0 - 2 Italy. Euro 2008

Henry doesn't seem top be firing on all cylinders - and Italy usually come good in crunch matches, so the
WATCHSOCCER prediction is France 0 - 1 Italia.

Letzigrund Stadium, Zuerich.
23' GOAL. FRANCE 0 - 1 ITALY. Abidal fouls Toni twice to make sure he is sent off while giving Italy a penalty. Pirlo steps up and powerfully curls the ball high into the left of Coupet's goal. This game could be over.
ESPN commentator Adrian Healey: "The French remain in the trench .."
25' Toni heads wide.
29' Toni just misses.
30' Toni just misses.
33' Henry just misses.
38' Benzema completely wastes a free kick by firing the ball at the knees(!) of the Italian wall. He looks to be out of his depth at this level.
43' Grosso fires in a free kick and Coupet makes a great save to touch the ball onto his right-hand post.
61' GOAL. FRANCE 0 - 2 ITALY. De Rossi's free kick is deflected by Henry into the French goal.
73' Good shot by Benzema, giving the lie to my previous statement about his being not good enough at this level, saved by Buffon. Che calcio!
92' Toni's shot on the turn is brilliantly saved by Coupet.

Result. FRANCE 0 - 2 ITALY.

WATCHSOCCER Man of the Match: Toni (ITA).
