Spain beat Italy 4-2 on PKs to move on to the semis. Photos:
By playing very tight defense, Italy frustrated the hell out of Spain's attackers.
Nando didn't play the whole 90 and was subbed off in 2H
When David Villa was booked for simulation, Nando shoved Fabi and then slapped him.
That happened in the 72nd minute. Yes, I take note of bitch-slap incidents, sue me.
Gigi was very friendly with the Spanish young'uns
Italy held Spain scoreless and dragged the match to penalties.
Wee little David ruing his missed chances
"Dammit. But I want to score so badly."
So, the first spot-kick was taken by David Villa.
He molested kissed the crap out of that ball for luck.
Spain went up first.
That PK was good
[Note to Luca Toni: Maybe you should kiss the ball, too? It works for Villa.]
Cazorla's was good as well.

After Fabregas' spot-kick, the party was on.
"Siiiii!"
Trademark Cesc-face
"OMG where do I run?! Is this the right direction?"
"I WIN AT LIFE! SO MUCH!"
"This is so much cooler than watching 22 episodes of Desperate Housewives nonstop!"
I love how Sergio's all calm, and David is freaking out.
"Run, hoes! We're in the fucking semis!"
Get out of the way, ref. If you know what's good for you.
Villa is ectstatic, can't you tell?
"We won!"
LOL @ Guiza here
Iker, prepare.
Here we go.
Where'd Villa's teeth go?
Koala!David
There was stripping
What's that undershirt about? Tease.
*yawn* Undershirt off.
Nicely done, Sese.
So that's what he looks like when his hair isn't up in a faux hawk.
And thus begins the ~*Villa-sillas*~ lovefest
David Villa on Ikey
Iker is the shade of porcelain
And they kept rolling

*mwah*
OMG they're not done yet.
Team love

Saved De Rossi and Di Natale's spot-kicks
"That's right, honey-pies. I made TWO saves just in penalties tonight."
"I'm DA MAN!"
For Lou. Pale Arms of Joy
Dammit, I wanted Cassano to slash with the mascots.
Speaking of Cheetos...
