1. What was Joachim Low thinking?
- Germany hadn't lost a game since the 2010 World Cup Final so he decides to change the starting lineup in the knockout stages. I still can't believe it. They had great chemistry together. Benching Thomas Muller? Mario Gomez?
2. Would an extra day of rest have helped Italy?
- Italy looked tired in the final, I mean before they played with ten men. They simply ran out of gas. Why Prandelli used all three subs by the 55th minute? Why pull an attacking player to bring on Di Natale? Why didn't Balzaretti start? Prandelli was awesome throughout so he doesn't deserve any criticism, but these questions have gone through my head
3. Has there ever been a worse decision in a penalty shootout?
Why Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't the first player to kick is a mystery. You have to send your best players out there first. If they score, it puts pressure on the other team. Massive failure, after their coach had a hell of a tournament. Jose Mourinho wouldn't have done that
