Germany 0-2 Italy | Extended Highlights | 2006 FIFA World Cup

This was one of the most legendary world cup semi-finals ever

One of the most memorable and iconic world cup of all time! Full of talented players!

No tattoos, no stylish colored hair, no neon boots, no fitted shirts, it was all about football. Loved that decade 2000 - 2010.

One of the most intense games in World Cup history.

Totti, Pirlo, Del Piero, Cannavaro, Buffon. what a team?

Italy's counterattack was deadly

One of the best matches in the history! Maybe the best in World Cups! Because of this I started to follow every football competition. I will rewatch this 10000 times and it will give me goosebumps every time.

This was when both Juventus, Milan, Inter and Roma were competitive in Serie A and they had generational talents too

Gilardino assist of the tournament, they never had eye contact.

Italian commentary of this is iconic. Love how Italy play always so easy they glide past people and spray passes. On their day they're so unpredictable

Italy conceded 2 goals in the entire tournament. An own goal, and a penalty.

This was our "it's coming home" dream smashed, figuratively speaking. It's 15 years ago, but I still remember how gutted I was, never again afterwards (perhaps with the exception of Bayern losing the CL final at home to Chelsea). But have to give it to the Italians, they were just phenomenal that night.

Probably the best World Cup match in my opinion.

The best world cup in the century so far

This is so nostalgic. One of the best match in WC history. Italy play better this whole match

After Grosso's strike, four interesting on-field celebrations were observed: 1. People piling up on top of Grosso - Natural. 2. Totti picking up a bottle & hurling it towards the spectators - Inexplicable. :) 3. Cannavaro & Buffon hugging each other tightly - Pure relief as Lippi's substitutions were not augmenting the weary defence. :) 4. Gattuso running towards Lippi to smack his face with both palms & then trying to choke him - Perfectly natural for Gattuso. :) :) Jokes aside, what a memorable match... I am from India & always been a fan of Italian football. Had celebrated the 1982 victory as a teenager (despite not being able to see the matches on TV). Have always admired the lion-hearted players after reading about the epic WC semi-s, against the same opponents, in 1970. This match was right up there with the best of WC clashes. Cannot think of any match that could be so gripping & intense even when 0-0 till the 118th minute.

compared to this, the latest WC we have was lacking spirit and passion..

My favorite game because I love 🇮🇹 and their amazing players like Cannavaro, Buffon, Pirlo, Del Piero, and many more. What a team, and all of them at the top of their game. My favorite football team ever 2006 Italy.

This match is "El Clasico" that time.

That pass by Pirlo ❤️
