The Italians simply mimicked K.Rico plan against GER : find a hole in defense with one pass. Pirlo tryed it ten times (all offsides) , but it worked on 11th. It will not work with FRA , they will have to come up with something else.

what do you mean by smaller ? The hedge interval or lesser adjustments ?

what a game ! Congrats Italia , well deserved win.
