Haha. I think Greece will take it! Win it boys, this is for all the Gyros!
J/k. No more penalty kicks is all I ask for. I don't wanna see a repeat of Ashley Cole missing the shot!

Yep, 3-1 now, with just a few minutes more to go. I expect Zaccheroni and his players will get a grilling (and more?) when they return home.
