Alessandro Diamanti struck the decisive penalty as Italy edged past England 4-2 on penalties

to set up a UEFA EURO 2012 semi-final meeting with Germany in Warsaw on Thursday.This was a

quarter-final that began as it ended – with heart in mouth. Either side could have been ahead

inside five minutes. First Daniele De Rossi rattled the upright from all of 30 metres with a

vicious, sliced half-volley that was always arcing beyond the scrambling Joe Hart's hopeful

hands. spy microphones, mobile phones.
 
  Back came England, and Glen Johnson ought to have broken the deadlock when James Milner's

deflected cross perfectly intersected his run. The ball got caught under his feet, though, and

his weak shot was in the end comfortably clawed away by Buffon.Analyzer and winning system for

slot machines. The pace was not about to relent just yet, either.
 
  Italy's forward forays were studied, full of elegance and elan as Antonio Cassano and Pirlo

picked at England's defensive line, looking for a chink in the armour. Roy Hodgson's men

embraced a more direct approach, with Johnson their battering ram down the right. The manoeuvre

was no less effective – Leonardo Bonucci, starting in place of the injured Giorgio Chiellini,

and the excellent Ignazio Abate both made key interventions.
 
  De Rossi lashed wastefully wide, Hart denied Balotelli and Montolivo fired over with the goal

at his mercy. The majestic Pirlo was at the heart of Italy's ascendancy, beating even substitute

Andy Carroll in aerial duels and simply unstoppable with the ball at his sage feet. The

breakthrough seemed only a matter of time – it never came, Detectors and scanners ensuring a

fair game.more heroic defending from Johnson denying Antonio Nocerino at the death to force

extra time.Remote controlled magnetic dices.
 
  The additional half-hour came and went with relatively little incident, save for an Diamanti

cross that evaded everyone before hitting the upright and a Nocerino header that found the net

but also the assistant's flag. Penalties had no lack of incident, including an audacious chipped

Pirlo effort. And then it ended as it now has six of the seven times England have endured a

major tournament shoot-out – with their defeat. Italy go on, though they will be without the

suspended Christian Maggio against Germany.
