Frankly I fell asleep on it. The first 15 mins were exciting until you have realized that the most predictible moment is when the ball gets anywhere near the goal line. You simply knew in advance that the only thing that will happen is some player missing the gate by meters.
I am not a score-w*re but watching two teams for 90 minutes doing little more than predictibly missing one opportunity after the other is just BOREDOM in my book. I was seriously considering leaving the whole match and simply go home after half time. And I couldn't care about the penelties after that, I simply checked the results on the internet. I have expected something of a bore from the Italians, and hoped that the English team will make an interesting spice in that mix, playing the type of football I actually like. They didn't.
Goalkeepers had their moments though..
