One of the best matches I have ever seen

[@GuiStuff]

Been watching this sport for nearly 30 years now. This was the most beautiful match I've ever seen, period. I never screamed or shouted so much during a game and I'm neither Italian nor German. Pure bliss and exhilaration, a classic match!

[@davideguaitoli5532]

Still don't know how on earth Pirlo saw that impossible spot to Grosso

[@bisrimustofa4067]

Because he is Pirlo

[@christosmalamas7526]

That was his job.

[@maxron6514]

X factor Pirlo we will never have one like him again for a long time

[@elijah420stuffs2]

Don't underestimate also Gilardino pass to Del Piero.

[@felipetaborda440]

Simple, he did not see it, he created that spot. If you look at the sequense of the whole play from the corner kick, he takes the ball and proceeds to take both germans who tried to cover him and fools them so he could then pass the ball at the exact speed, at the exact place so Grosso could hit with his natural left foot. The crazy thing is that there were pieces of information everywhere and Pirlo processed them so fast and so correct it even seems Grosso is just an extension of Pirlo in that particular play... Grosso was a center back, I don't think he ever scored a goal like that before or after that. Cheers!

[@user-tt8vu2tn6f]

One of the best world cup matches i have ever seen. The tension, the quality of both sides, the drama, the goals and the reactions. What a match!

[@RightCenterBack321]

We had family friends over to watch this match. After the Fourth of July meal, we all went to our basement to watch. The family friends almost never watched soccer; in retrospect, they probably couldn't have been exposed to a better match. This was quite possibly the greatest World Cup match, ever. Even the heartbreak for the home team seemed appropriate. Looking back on it, this was a German team still on the ascent - two World Cups later, they were champions again. As for Italy, they had such a fabulous roster, it's almost miraculous how it all came together for them. I, for one, will always be grateful I got to see this match live, when it happened, with people whom I cared about. As a soccer fan and to a man, I couldn't ask for more.

[@romanista9776]

[@gabrieleriva651]

And they left out Christian Vieri and Paolo Maldini. A very young Chiellini was playing in Serie A too.

[@marcolregina]

The best part of this win was how sure the Germans were to win this game. How arrogant they were (fans, players, journalists, EVERYONE). Then came Italy... super humble, deserved the game, got two goals in less then two minutes and won the World Cup with 0 goals conceded except for an own goal and a non-existing penalty given to France. What a team that was!

[@zaijiancelis]

Germany almost always loses playing against Italy

[@alb12e345]

Nesta was better than Cannavaro. Nesta was injured 2006 world cup. Imagine Nesta and Cannavaro together in 2006 WC. Though Cannavaro was terrific in 2006 WC.

[@TheVixalazio]

@@VijayYadav-gt8if And if Maldini didn't retire the defense was going to be Buffon, Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Zambrotta like in 2002. Although I doubt that with these players they were going to win it, because Materazzi and Grosso were both integral parts for the triumph in 2006.

[@fc-8843]
