Agreed, both teams delivered some great football, playing a bit the same.
Lippi's substitutions in the semi were great : no defender at all, that was classy.
The main differences are : Buffon got shot at more than Barthez and stopped almost everything - this man is awesome.
France's 8 goals were scored by 4 players, Italy scored 11 times by 10 different players (or 12 times by 10 players if you wanna put Zaccardo on the list) - which makes me think that Italians won't feel bad when/if Toni, Iaquinta, whoever, can't do a thing.
