Ukraine lost the game. -- the World Cup quarter finals 2

The game Ukraine vs. Italy, Ukraine I cheered for lost the game. That's a shame but most people thought Italy would win.

Italian soccer is known for their solid defense called Catenaccio. Yes, their defense was really impregnable wall. They perfectly prevented Shevchenko from his playing as a world number one striker.

Person of the match I choose is Cannavaro of Italy. He is an excellent defender. He and goalkeeper Buffon are key persons of Catenaccio.

I want to say to Ukraine that they did well in spite of their first appearance in the World Cup.
