Spain win, and deservedly so, a poor game but Spain were the better team. So now a meeting with Russia, a pretty mixed bag in the last four.

Spain beat Italy 4-2 on penalties to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2008 after a dour goalless draw in Vienna.

Marcos Senna came closest in normal time when Italy keeper Gianluigi Buffon fumbled his shot on to a post.

Spain keeper Iker Casillas was the hero in the shoot-out, saving from Daniele de Rossi and Antonio di Natale.

Daniel Guiza saw his spot-kick saved by Buffon, but Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas slid home the crucial penalty to set up a last four clash with Russia.

I'm reading this in an Italian neighborhood, and mayhem is erupting from the local sports bars... and every bar on St Clair West is a sports bar this week!

Ah, they're probably not too pleased then! I know the feeling it happens to England everytime.
