SOUNDBITE (Italian) Cesare Prandelli, Italy head coach
 "We are very proud of this football team. When you're football team represents a country abroad, you understand the importance of what you're doing. We have, in my opinion, prepared really well for the game from a tactical point of view. The players interpreted the game extraordinarily well because we had little time to prepare. Therefore we're really proud of these boys because it wasn't easy. They didn't have time, they didn't have time on the training pitch so they deserve congratulations."

 "In moments of great tension, on a difficult day, you starting training and you don't think about it, you have the chance to do your work. We play through all our fear and anxiety. We prepare well to play against your opponents. That's our strength, to free ourselves from a negative situation, it's psychological."
