anitabuchanItaly and France qualify for Euro 2008.
Italy scored in the first minute. We equalised in the 64th. And then, as everyone knew they would, Italy scored in the 90th.
We dominated the game. We had so many chances we just didn't take, missed sitters and headers cleared off the line. We played so well, so bravely.
Some of the players are crying.
They are all heroes. In a group containing Ukraine, France and Italy, we were in it until the very last minute. That is more than anyone ever expected.
Just to rub salt in the wound, Israel are 1-0 up against Russia. England could be going through, despite the fact that they have played rubbish and that their own fans do almost nothing but criticise and boo.
That is the way of football, isn't it? Always breaks your heart. The big teams always win in the end.
Another glorious failure.
