00:03Now, the fact that Italy have already qualified and possibly face England in Brussels
00:07means that Dino Zoff has taken the opportunity to give his squad players a game.
00:11There are eight changes with only the goalkeeper Toldo, the captain Maldini and defender Juliano
00:16from the starting XI against Belgium.
00:18A lot of interest in the first start of number 10 Alessandro Del Piero
00:22whose penalty beats Sweden and are friendly in Palermo in February.
00:27Sweden, maybe they can rescue the Scandinavian reputation for negative football.
00:32Roland Nielsen, Kenneth Anderson and Teddy Lusic all unable to start through injury
00:36but number three Patrick Anderson is back from suspension.
00:40Celtics' Henrik Larsson wins his 50th cap tonight
00:42and Niklas Alexandersson of Sheffield Wednesday has been left out.
00:50The referee is Melo Pereira of Portugal and the Azzurri, Italy,
00:56playing from right to left
00:58with a lot of their supporters banked behind the goal that they're defending
01:01and they're going to play three at the back, the Italians, already that's clear.
01:04Ferrara, Negro and Juliano
01:06and half-side already against number 19 Montella
01:08who is the striking partner of Del Piero tonight.
01:13No Inzaghi, no Totti and no Del Vecchio in the starting line-up.
01:17Here for Sweden is Patrick Anderson, number three.
01:2014 at the right-back spot tonight, Olaf Melberg.
01:37Nardini really playing as a left wing-back tonight.
01:39This is Montella
01:40and Del Piero started to run
01:42and the flag stayed down on the far side from the assistant referee
01:45and Del Piero!
01:49He is regarded as the world's highest paid player, Mick.
01:53What should he have done better there?
01:55Well, his movement's brilliant.
01:57The back four, they're trying to hold a high line up the pitch
01:59and I think, well, he's got no other option there to hit it.
02:02He's just trying to dip it over the keeper.
02:12And Mielby's there.
02:14Oh, and it's off the line and I think it's Delivio.
02:18The little soldier, as they call him,
02:20was on guard duty on the left-hand post.
02:24Mielby, good header
02:26and I think it's Delivio, Mick,
02:28who gets it away with the goalkeeper beaten.
02:30Great clearance.
02:31Yeah, bad defending though.
02:32He's letting get behind him.
02:33But if I said he wouldn't be too worried about me,
02:35I'll be on the floor with the ball at his feet
02:37but he's dangerous at set-pieces.
02:39Great header and a great defensive header.
02:41Sweden's third corner in succession.
02:44And this is Milt now who's gone up for this one.
02:47That was a let-off for Italy
02:49but then again, that's why managers put
02:50full-backs, well, mid-field players in his case,
02:53on the post.
02:54Well, yeah, they put a player on the post
02:56just for that reason.
02:57In fairness, we've just seen them defend
02:59very, very well the first time.
03:01It's all Sweden.
03:02And Italy just seem to be going through the paces so far.
03:06Here's Melberg to the Swedes.
03:08Into Larsson.
03:10Back to Mielby.
03:12And now Haken Milt.
03:14What's a good ball back for Larsson.
03:15There's a real chance on here.
03:18And Lundberg has put it wide.
03:21Can you believe it?
03:23A chapter of misses in this tournament
03:25for the Arsenal player.
03:27And he may feel that was the worst.
03:29Well, I can't believe he got through
03:31in the first place.
03:32I mean, it was absolutely a comedy of errors.
03:34He had all sorts of bounces like a bag of tell.
03:36There, you think he's missed it.
03:38He's had, er...
03:39He's composed himself so well there to get in.
03:42I tell you, was it Delivio coming in?
03:44He nearly handled the ball.
03:45He might have been sent off.
03:46Well, he would have been sent off if he handled it.
03:48And now, Melberg.
03:51Larsson waves in the centre.
03:53Now, on the break.
03:55Del Piero with Montella to his right.
03:57This is classic Italian
03:58counter-attacking football.
04:01Montella.
04:01Oh, it's brilliant play by Montella.
04:03Good save by Hedman.
04:06Typical Italian.
04:07Keep in their own half for about ten minutes
04:09and then suddenly a rapier thrust
04:11that might well have brought a goal.
04:13Good keeping again by Hedman.
04:16That's always a problem when you're on the attack
04:18like Sweden have been, John.
04:19But it's down to their defenders.
04:20They have to concentrate.
04:21They've had so much of the game.
04:23A couple of good chances.
04:24And then bang, as you say,
04:25counter-attacking football.
04:26Brilliant by Montella, by the way.
04:28And then the keeper.
04:29Wonderful, wonderful save.
04:31This is Maldini.
04:33Del Piero supplied the pass there.
04:36Ambrosini to Di Biagio.
04:38Montella.
04:41Here's Di Livio.
04:42Out to Fassotto.
04:47Di Biagio tucking it through.
04:50And this is Ambrosetti.
04:53Ambrosini, who was challenged there.
04:56Foot up, I think,
04:56on the number 16.
05:02But this is the Montella effort, Mick.
05:05Oh, yeah, he's turned him inside out there, hasn't he, Bjorklund.
05:08He's gone in one way, then the other.
05:10Melberg.
05:13Osmanovski.
05:14Henrik Larsson coming in far side.
05:16So is Freddy Lundberg.
05:18Osmanovski can't get enough weight on the cross.
05:22Melberg.
05:25Gets away from Maldini.
05:27Goes across Di Biagio.
05:31Osmanovski got attacked.
05:32This is Svensson for Sweden.
05:33Good stop by Toto.
05:35By no means his first of this tournament in a one-to-one.
05:41Magnus Svensson was the Swedish player who was in on goal.
05:44And they win the ball back immediately.
05:46Here's Lundberg.
05:50Osmanovski now on this side.
05:53They want it played in early.
05:54It comes.
05:55Well, Italy are being forced back here, aren't they?
06:01Well, it was just a bit of a scramble, wasn't it?
06:02It's, in fact, being put through by an Italian defender.
06:05And when he's clean through, you fancy great goal, Peter.
06:07Brilliant.
06:08Stop it with any part of your body.
06:09Just don't let it in the net.
06:10Fantastic.
06:11It's a corner again to Sweden.
06:13And again, Mjelbi.
06:14It was Svensson there who had the shot.
06:16But Mjelbi is up.
06:28Referee just calming down.
06:29One or two Italian defenders.
06:40The Auckland to make the first run.
06:42Anderson comes in behind him.
06:44It wasn't a bad effort either by Patrick Anderson.
06:52Well, the corner count tells its own story here, doesn't it?
06:54This is number seven or eight for Sweden.
06:57He's come and attacked that well, hasn't he?
06:59But the corners have been good, actually.
07:00They've had good chances on goal off them.
07:03But, you know, what have they had?
07:04Seven, eight corners now.
07:05They really keep getting headers.
07:06They need to put one on target and get one in the net.
07:09Yes.
07:10The best out of the eight is the one when Mjelbi had the header
07:12and D'Olivio cleared off the line.
07:14But it's been mostly with Sweden this first half in terms of possession.
07:19And Italy have hardly got out of their half up to now,
07:21apart from that early break.
07:23This is Maldini.
07:26To Ambrosini.
07:28D'Olivio.
07:32Maldini again.
07:33That looks like a decent ball in.
07:35Trying to pick out Montella.
07:37Oh, and that's Gustafsson getting himself into difficulties,
07:41getting himself out of them.
07:43Mjelbi.
07:45Ambrosini back into Del Piero.
07:47Montella's there.
07:49Del Piero's there again.
07:50Montella again.
07:51Can he get a touch on it?
07:53It's on the roof of the net.
07:56From the Roma striker.
08:00Brilliant little touch at the edge of the box here, isn't it?
08:02Between Montella and Del Piero.
08:04He just nicked it in over the defender's head.
08:06He's done ever so well.
08:08He's a good footballer.
08:09He shows his strength and held the defender off.
08:11I'm sure Hedman was sweating there.
08:13He's just dropped over the bar.
08:15That team to reach that stage of the World Cup, of course.
08:18This is Maldini here now.
08:20Still on the pitch.
08:21And we'll have to keep an eye on just how that goes.
08:24He certainly went into that tackle without holding back.
08:27That's Del Piero trying to latch on to Montella's flick.
08:30Flag up for offside.
08:32Well, John, if that's Balor Maldini injured,
08:35the way he flew into that tackle,
08:37we don't want to see him when he's fit.
08:39And he's back in defence now
08:40because this is Freddy Lundberg for Sweden.
08:42And he's found Osmanovski
08:43and Henrik Larsson's made a run to the far post.
08:45Well, that's good goalkeeping again by Toldo.
08:49He's done well, Toldo.
08:51He made a great save.
08:52It was a bit like Schmeicholesk early on with his legs.
08:54But this one, he's had to hold this.
08:57That's great goalkeeping.
08:59At Negro, number six,
09:00who I think is going to go forward.
09:03Del Piero will take the corner.
09:04Montella is on the line.
09:06And they're waiting for Negro.
09:10Di Biagio is in there as well.
09:12It's a goal for Italy.
09:14It's Di Biagio.
09:18Well, the Inter Milan player
09:21will be pleased
09:22that his luck has turned in a major competition.
09:25He heads the opening goal in Eindhoven
09:28and helps to bury the memory of what happened in the World Cup
09:31when his penalty went over the bar
09:34and Italy were eliminated.
09:36Del Piero takes the corner
09:37and Di Biagio near post header.
09:39Yeah, 1-0.
09:41Yeah, that's...
09:42We talk about the hole in front of the keeper
09:44and they can bet Larson's there.
09:46But to me, Larson's just watching the ball.
09:48You can't see him coming.
09:50You can't see Di Biagio coming.
09:51And he's just got in behind it.
09:53Fantastic corner.
09:54Fantastic header.
09:55What disappoints me is
09:56I was just going to mention
09:57before the corner was taken
09:58how well Melberg had defended
10:00up against Del Piero.
10:02He threw in about five or six different tricks and shapes.
10:05People were falling all over the place.
10:07He stood up
10:07and he just
10:08he cutted and gave a corner away
10:10and then bad defendants cost him.
10:14So
10:15on his 16th international appearance
10:17Di Biagio gets his second international goal
10:20but as I say
10:21there are reasons why he'll feel doubly pleased about that.
10:26It's 1-0
10:26and Italy
10:28who can now
10:29probably relax even more
10:31having already qualified
10:32there's a foul there.
10:33The Swedes have got to come from behind here
10:35in a match that they
10:36have to win
10:37to stand any chance of progress.
10:39And having had ten corners themselves
10:41it's ironic isn't it
10:42that they concede a goal
10:44to only the second Italian corner.
10:51Keeps possession for Sweden.
10:53This is Mielbi.
10:58In it goes from Svensson
11:02and Foglio has had a good half
11:04in goal for the Italians.
11:06Very commanding.
11:17Anybody that misses a penalty
11:18in a vital shootout
11:19in a major championship
11:20wants to try and put that right in some way.
11:23Del Piero wasn't really the first half hero there for Italy.
11:26The man who got his name
11:28among the scorers of this competition
11:30was in fact
11:31Luigi Di Biagio
11:32who's had to live for two years
11:34with that dreadful moment against France
11:37in the 98 World Cup.
11:39The half-time score here
11:40the group leaders Italy
11:41are leading a must-win Sweden
11:43by one goal to nil.
11:45Number five
11:46Fabio Cannavaro
11:47has come on
11:48in place of number 15
11:49Mark Iuliano
11:50for Italy
11:51so they've now made
11:52two defensive changes
11:53and that really means
11:54the centre-back pairing
11:55of
11:57Nesta
11:57and Cannavaro
11:59is back to where it was
12:01depending
12:01whether
12:02they play
12:03the three.
12:16This is Passotto
12:17to Montella.
12:21Montella again
12:22that's good play
12:23once more
12:23by the number 19
12:24now that he's got
12:25two up with him
12:26Fiore is one of them
12:27here is
12:28Negro
12:29driven low
12:30and Del Piero
12:31failing to make contact
12:32as the ball
12:33whistled past the post.
12:35It was neither one
12:36or the other
12:37I don't think was it?
12:38You know
12:38you describe it
12:39as a cross shot
12:40I'm not sure
12:42Montella
12:42brilliant again
12:43absolutely outstanding
12:44great ball across
12:45to the number six
12:47at Negro
12:48chested it down well
12:49could he roll it across
12:50here side foot it across
12:52well he
12:52he chose to blast it
12:54and well
12:54with the pace he put on it
12:55Del Piero
12:56couldn't get there
12:56at the far post.
13:04Gustafsson
13:06Ljungberg
13:07oh Larson in a good position
13:09is he offside there?
13:11well apparently not
13:12and what a chance
13:13for Patrick Anderson
13:16he was
13:17what a great header
13:18by Larson
13:18he must have known
13:20he was there
13:20back flick
13:21great save by Toldo
13:23well
13:24Toldo again
13:25enhancing his own
13:26reputation
13:27which is growing
13:28all the time
13:28in the Italian goal
13:29but look at this
13:30it's a pass from
13:31Freddy Lundberg
13:32Larson a lovely flick
13:34as you say
13:34and well
13:35Patrick Anderson
13:36will be kicking himself
13:37I think for that
13:39it's a corner to Sweden
13:41and Anderson stays forward
13:42here
13:42the Auckland are coming
13:43on this as well
13:47Anderson doesn't quite
13:48make it this time
13:50we're into the last
13:5120 minutes in Eindhoven
13:52and Sweden are doing
13:53all the pressing
13:54as they've got to do
13:54in their situation
13:57Lundberg
14:01oh and it's
14:02two against two
14:03here again
14:05while playing
14:06against Italians
14:07if you put your hand
14:08there sometimes
14:09the snake will bite you
14:11but here is Sweden
14:12this is Lundberg
14:13once more
14:17they've got to take
14:17that risk of course
14:18in their position
14:19and this is Fiore
14:20who's just prompting
14:21the front two here
14:22oh and that's a
14:25chance for Nicholas
14:25Alexanderson to slide
14:26Larson in here
14:27for Sweden
14:28but Montella
14:28who made the initial
14:29mistake is now
14:30on the ball
14:31and he's not doing
14:32terribly well
14:32in his own half
14:38and Del Piero
14:40and Gustafsson
14:41collide
14:43commentary player
14:44injured
14:46he must be sick
14:47that's the first time
14:47he's closed anybody
14:48down and tried to
14:49make a tackle
14:49and the referee's
14:50given a free kick
14:51against him
14:52I keep saying
14:52he looks like
14:53he's got the weight
14:53of the world
14:54on his shoulders
14:55this is
14:56a chug for Lundberg
15:02well this is
15:02a good recovery
15:04by Sweden
15:05and Freddy Lundberg
15:06of Arsenal
15:07has got a lot
15:07to do with it
15:08that whistle
15:08past the post
15:16I don't think
15:17on this form
15:18Del Piero
15:18is going to
15:19automatically
15:19command a starting
15:20place against
15:21either England
15:21or Romania
15:23and Di Biagio
15:24has given the
15:25ball away
15:25and Kenneth
15:26Andersen
15:26with Larson
15:27going through
15:27and the flag
15:28stays down
15:28Henrik Larson
15:29for Sweden
15:30round toldo
15:31a goal
15:32a goal
15:33they've equalized
15:36Henrik Larson
15:37goes to get the
15:38ball
15:38they may need
15:39two more
15:39but Sweden are
15:40level
15:45Henrik Larson
15:46after 77 minutes
15:49makes it
15:501-1 in
15:50Eindhoven
15:52and it was a
15:53well
15:54it was a
15:54marginal decision
15:55but well played
15:56the assistant referee
15:57from Marley
15:57because I think
15:58he was level
15:59before he went
16:00round toldo there
16:01Mick
16:01I met you right
16:02he was
16:03I don't think
16:03he was offside
16:04he stuck him
16:04a great little
16:05ball
16:05they've tried
16:06to play offside
16:06and I said
16:07earlier
16:07pay the price
16:08the linesman
16:08keeps his flag
16:09down
16:09but isn't this
16:10brilliant
16:11he stood up
16:12I think he's had
16:13time to have a look
16:13at the linesman
16:14there
16:14he's just stood
16:15up to him
16:16sent him the
16:17dummy
16:17rounded him
16:18and that's
16:18great
16:19it's lovely to
16:19see somebody
16:20go round the
16:20goalkeeper
16:21dump him on
16:21his backside
16:22and roll it
16:22in the net
16:23great goal
16:23and on the
16:24occasion
16:25his 50th cap
16:26as well
16:26Henrik Larsen
16:27a nice way
16:28to celebrate
16:28that landmark
16:29he's put Sweden
16:30back into this
16:31match
16:31has he put them
16:32back in with a
16:33shout of
16:33going further
16:34in the championship
16:35well as
16:36Fiore gets the
16:36ball here for
16:37Italy and the
16:37score remains
16:382-0 to Turkey
16:39it still looks
16:40unlikely
16:40Sweden would need
16:41two more goals
16:42as things stand
16:43to get through
16:44but their
16:45spirits are lifted
16:47their heads are up
16:49and they've got
16:50their substitutes on
16:51and they're giving
16:52Italy a real test

17:38absolutely brilliant
17:40great cross
17:41from Alexandersen
17:42on his right foot
17:43bent it in
17:44he's pulled off
17:45his shoulder there
17:46that's a great
17:46header you know
17:47it's a full and
17:48they're having a
17:48right go at it
17:49and it's a pleasure
17:49to watch them
17:51certainly is now
17:53they've lifted
17:53themselves for this
17:54third game the
17:55Swedes
17:55here's Montella
17:57this is Fiore
17:57for Italy
17:59tries to find
17:59Del Fiero
18:01didn't get there
18:02oh and
18:03in the end
18:04it was Ambrosini
18:05who had the shot
18:14looking for a free
18:15kick not given
18:17nine minutes left
18:18plus stoppage time
18:27and there's
18:27Larsen
18:28oh and there's
18:29Kenneth Anderson
18:29well that should
18:31have been 2-1
18:32that was a really
18:33good opportunity
18:34made for Kenneth
18:35Anderson by
18:36Henrik Larsen
18:38yeah John
18:39there's your chance
18:39Henrik Larsen
18:41brilliant in the air
18:41and when he's
18:42dropped in here
18:44it's one of them
18:44he's had to hit it
18:45early
18:45it's very high
18:46if he gets it on
18:47target he scores
18:48with it
18:54and no Italian
18:55player has gone
18:56into the penalty
18:56area at all
18:57so
18:57one assumes
18:58we're going to
18:59see a shot from
18:59Del Fiero
19:04the line of
19:06yellow shirts
19:07there
19:0710 yards back
19:08now they've
19:09gone into the
19:09area
19:09the others
19:10Del Fiero
19:11over the bar
19:16well everybody
19:17knew what he
19:18was going to do
19:19stood up
19:20it's a difficult
19:20one to get up
19:21and down
19:21from there
19:23he's unlucky
19:24as they are
19:25we'll go out
19:26Kenneth Anderson
19:27is a target
19:28though
19:28trying to
19:29even now
19:30find Larsen
19:31but that clearance
19:32well Del Fiero
19:33has got the
19:34freedom of
19:34Eindhoven
19:35here
19:36Montella is
19:36to his left
19:37he's got
19:37Fiore coming up
19:38as well
19:38he must put
19:39Fiore in
19:39surely
19:40he has
19:41Fiore
19:41if I was a
19:42deflection on
19:42the shot
19:43good cover
19:43it was
19:44Melberg
19:45I think
19:45Mick
19:45it was
19:46I think
19:46yeah
19:47it's making
19:47for a great
19:48game now
19:48because we've
19:49got two teams
19:49playing
19:49totally different
19:51football
19:51you've got
19:52Sweden
19:52sending everybody
19:53forward
19:53attack
19:54attack
19:54attack
19:54and Italy
19:55well they're
19:56on the
19:56counter
19:56to be fair
19:57Del Fiero
19:58there just
19:58waited his time
20:00waited his time
20:01rolled the ball
20:02in Fiore's path
20:03and it was unlucky
20:04good defending actually
20:05managed to get a block on it
20:06we're having a thrilling second half here
20:09you're right
20:09and Cannavaro's come forward for this corner
20:12Di Biagio is in there again
20:13Ambrosini didn't make it
20:15and as you say
20:16it's one end to the other now
20:17it's
20:18one of the most open games of the championship
20:21this is Larsson
20:22and that's a foul
20:24that's Ambrosini
20:26oh
20:26bit of reaction there
20:28bit of reaction
20:30and we haven't had a yellow card
20:31I don't think
20:32so far tonight
20:33certainly a pity to spoil it now
20:36for the Portuguese referee
20:38he hasn't produced one
20:39it's a free kick to Sweden
20:42in the 87th minute
20:46Alexanderson to take it
20:47the obvious target here
20:48is Kenneth Anderson
20:49but Patrick's there as well
20:51and Kenneth Anderson
20:52jumps with Toldo
20:58Toldo did well again there
20:59John
21:00you know Pat
21:00it's a good free kick
21:02another
21:02what a yard lower
21:03and
21:05it would have caused him problems
21:07really
21:08climactic
21:09finish to this group
21:11wouldn't it
21:11with the score coming in
21:12from Brussels
21:13where Turkey
21:13we understand
21:14are still leading Belgium
21:152-0
21:16and at the moment
21:17are going
21:18oh look at this
21:18going through
21:19here is Del Piero
21:20from Montella's pass
21:22Del Piero
21:23and at last
21:24he makes his mark
21:28the most highly paid
21:29footballer in Europe
21:30has ended Sweden's chances
21:33of qualifying
21:34for the quarterfinals
21:40it's 2-1 to Italy
21:42and Alessandro Del Piero
21:46stakes a claim
21:47for a place
21:47in the quarterfinal
21:49they were always
21:50threatening to do this
21:50while Sweden were
21:51undermanned at the back
21:52but he shook off
21:53Melberg well
21:53and he really hit that
21:55to the right of
21:56Magnus Hedman
21:57well that's why
21:58he's the highest paid
21:59I guess I've been
21:59complaining about
22:00his attitude at times
22:01but he's got two
22:02defenders there
22:03he knows he's not
22:04going to be in for pace
22:05he's come back
22:06onto his left foot
22:06and well he's just
22:07hit the back of the ball
22:08and it's flown in the top corner
22:10Magnus Hedman
22:10I think got a touch to that
22:11but couldn't stop it
22:13I wonder if you get
22:13a smile out of him
22:14I keep saying
22:16he's looked worried
22:16he can't be worried
22:17about the mortgage
22:18can he?
22:19not really Mick
22:20it's not one of his
22:22problems I fancy
22:23but he's wiped the smile
22:25off the face
22:25of the Swedish supporters
22:26here it was
22:27just a couple of minutes
22:28from the end of normal time
22:30and Italy are back in front
22:33after a second half
22:34which Sweden largely dominated
22:36here's Del Piero again
22:43if that's been filtered
22:44through to Brussels
22:45I would think the Turkish
22:46supporters are celebrating
22:47never mind the Italians
22:48who are cheering
22:49possibly the third win
22:51in three games here
22:52this is Lundberg
22:53and still they try
22:55Osvenovski
22:56got a touch to that
22:57but couldn't direct the header
23:00they're still managing
23:01to get in aren't they
23:01I wouldn't be too happy
23:03I mean I'm
23:03you're the Italian coach
23:05and they're going to win
23:07this game now
23:07fitting in many ways
23:08if Sweden were to
23:09get an equaliser
23:10at least here
23:11and go out on a 2-2
23:14I would suggest
23:15that they would be
23:15deserving of that
23:18Kenneth Anderson
23:19is waiting to try
23:20and make some contact
23:21it goes beyond him
23:23oh and it wasn't a bad
23:24effort either
23:25coming in on the far
23:26post Patrick Anderson
23:27who seems to feel
23:27one of the Italians
23:28handled that
23:30well Vinny set himself
23:31up there
23:32Patrick Anderson
23:32he's put the ball
23:34above Cannavaro's head
23:36with a free kick
23:36and he's gone and
23:37attacked it
23:38absolutely brilliant
23:40well I tell you
23:40he's got a point
23:41because he was nowhere
23:42near it with his head
23:43in that game
23:43and they have been
23:44in this
23:45they knew they've
23:46qualified
23:46they've just gone
23:47through the emotion
23:48sometimes in this game
23:49and it
23:50sorry we had another attack
23:51Montella now on the left
23:53Del Piero in the centre
23:54to try and make it
23:55three one off
23:56he's scooped it
23:57over the bar
24:00I think what you could say
24:01despite the fact
24:02that they have played
24:03sometimes
24:04not at full pace
24:04for me
24:05this is a great ball
24:05I think he's been great
24:06Montella
24:07and Del Piero
24:08well
24:09if he really wanted
24:10to make his mark
24:10he should have put that
24:11one in the net
24:12indeed he should
24:13here's Mild for Sweden
24:14what a
24:17Lundberg
24:17I was about to say
24:18what an exciting
24:20and compelling
24:21second half
24:21we've had here
24:22the game has got
24:22better and better
24:23it was terrific
24:24wasn't it
24:25we were actually
24:26breathless
24:26when we came up
24:27the stairs
24:27in this stadium
24:28it was that hot
24:28here's his chance again
24:31it's one of those
24:32he's got his foot on it
24:33but really
24:33he should score
24:35with that chance
24:38well Sweden
24:39go out with pride
24:40they gave it their best
24:41shot tonight
24:42against the Italians
24:43there were moments
24:44in the game
24:44when they could have
24:45won it
24:45maybe not by as many
24:46as they would have
24:47needed to
24:47but certainly
24:49they leave the
24:50European Championship
24:51stage with their
24:52heads held high
24:53as for Italy
24:54it's the night that
24:55Del Piero
24:56makes his first real
24:57impression on this
24:58championship
24:59beating Magnus
25:00Hedman with the goal
25:01that ultimately won
25:02the match
25:03Italy take maximum
25:05points from their
25:05three games
25:06and they now wait
25:07their quarterfinal
25:08opponents in Brussels
25:09whoever they may be
25:11in Eindhoven
25:12it's Italy 2
25:13Sweden 1
25:14it's the only
25:15I
25:15is
25:15I
