SPAIN-ITALY 1-1

Spain, the defending World and European champions, started their campaign today against Italy, and were favourites. But Italy played very well in the first half. Its normal that they don´t create many chances but today they did! And scored a goal in the 61nd minute, it was De Rossi, that was substituted only a few minutes before in favour of Mario Balotelli, who played OK but...De Rossi played better, when he scored a goal...And it was very awful for Spain...For three minutes, Cesc Fabregas scored the equalizer! And Spain had the better chances after that, but the match ended 1-1. Spain won shots 18-10, ball position 60-40, but 1-1 was OK against Italy, a good football team...But the Italians were certainly more happy when they walked away from the pitch. 1-1 was quite good for both teams, Croatia and Ireland´s teams are good but worser than Spain and Italy if we look at the squads at least..
