SWEDEN
Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.
Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat Ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet att Du är och Du blir vad Du var.
Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden.
(Thou ancient, Thou free, Thou mountainous north
Thou quiet, Thou joyful [and] fair!
I greet thee, loveliest land upon earth,
Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy climes green.
Thou thronest on memories of great olden days,
When honoured Thy name flew across the earth,
I know that Thou art and wilt remain what thou werest,
Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.)
ITALY
Fratelli d'Italia,
l'Italia s'è desta,
dell'elmo di Scipio
s'è cinta la testa.
Dov'è la Vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
ché schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò.
Stringiamci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò! Sì!
(Brothers of Italy,
Italy has woken,
Bound Scipio's helmet
Upon her head.
Where is Victory?
Let her bow down,
For God created her
Slave of Rome.
Let us join in acohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called.
Let us join in a cohort,
We are ready to die.
We are ready to die,
Italy has called! Yes!)
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Only one could go. Sweden with only 1 point, while Italy had 3 points. Usagi, after rescued a girl, she found herself to be more confident. But Conte did warn all of Italians to be careful, and so he noticed Usagi as well…
Mai? She sat down, face calmed but deep pressure. She had to face a lof of pressure to win…
Who won?
Ibra remembered Buffon again. Now, with Buffon, he realized that, against Ibra mean no mistake again. Ibra also wondered, how dangerous Italy…
…
…
…
First half! MOVE ON!
First, Sweden tried to attack. But the Swedes soon realized that, if they couldn't be careful, the Italians would strike them down. Italy always plays slow in the beginning but when they get chance they will shoot down their opponent by just one shot! Totally different to Sweden.
Italy always allows their opponent, such as Belgium, to make any offensive as much as they could. But if letting Italy to strike, be careful.
Hamrén is smart enough to see.
Florenzi! Well, he wanted to create and dangerous situation to make a sudden strike, but it was not hit anything.
Then Bonucci made a long pass. Uhhh, that's funny. But failed. Well, Sweden launched attack again.
Ibrahimović seemed want to crush down the Italian defense. Many years in Italy taught him a lot. But the Italians weren't dumbass. It went on…
Chiellini!
But then the ball came back to the Swedes. Kim Kallström, man! And then, Graziano Pellè… passed, really?
In this moment was Antonio Candreva… And then was Ekdal… nahhh, It was…
Well, it came into 25', but some supporters had fallen into sleep. And…
LOL! Surprisingly, Mai and Usagi, all felt into sleep because of Italian defense and Sweden's careful choice. God damn this match looked… boring looool!
Forsberg! Ohhh, then came to De Rossi, many Swedish chances were taken down by the Italians. De Rossi was one of who took charge… ohh, he only interrupted Sweden's plan. Nothing else.
Referee Viktor Kassai commented on his head: "Are they playing sleepy? Why I feel first 45'… is boring?"
Ibra! Ibra tried to make a header but it came too high. Man, this always made those supporters… felt tired.
Sweden wouldn't dare to play double strike because they knew what Belgium had to taste, and so the Italians played low and quite silent. Giaccherini?
Yeah right. Then Olsson threw ball. But nothing changed. Larsson? Nope.
This was making some fans… sleeping…
"Waaaa, I wanna sleep now, are they making this match turned… into a bedroom watcher?"
Usagi and Mai both went sleeping, but not Hamrén and Conte.
A promising cross from Sweden, charged by Ibra. 43' and still 0-0. Oh boy…
Then Ibra… nope! Pellè thought this was volleyball match. But nothing else. Erik Johansson… dahhhh… sleeping sleeping sleeping.
Over! 0-0 was the first half score! Italy 0-0 Sweden! But the best thing we could see…
… WAS SLEEPING! THEY PLAYED LIKE MAKING THEIR FANS OF BOTH SIDES TO SLEEP!
Even Mai and Usagi slept for over last minutes before Kassai whistled, they soon woke up and found…
"What happened? Who won?"
Hahahahahahahahahaha, what a shame… damn…
…
…
…
…
…
Second half!
Graziano Pellè received it. After 45', Conte and Hamrén continued to keep the line. Both Buffon and Isaksson told to their teammates.
Let guess: Ibra himself is just spiritual Captain, meanwhile the real Captain of Sweden, is Andreas Isaksson. Same as Italy, when Buffon played a significant role of leading the team.
Florenzi and a free kick!
But no success after all. Victor Lindelöf sent a cross, but this delivery was so poor. Damn it. Candreva, Parolo? It was 60'. And now, Usagi turned herself into Sailor Moon! Mai decided to seek aids, but Usagi…
"Hanon Hosho, show yourself!"
BOOM!
At 66', Hanon saw the situation. She decided to sing "the blue sky", in assist for Italy. Now Usagi played a better role.
Kim Kallström… akkkkk, corner kick came zero.
Mai, seeing it was 70' and Sweden still in stuck, she called…
"Well well, Nozomi Yumehara please!"
Nozomi played a significant role as well. To encounter the song, she turned into a Cure. Meanwhile Candreva tried to get in front.
Still 0-0.
If Italy and Sweden played like this it would end 0-0. So at 80', after seeing that both Nozomi and Hanon were still in stuck because of their salty decision, they called another.
This time, Mai called Taiga Aisaka while Usagi called Konata Izumi!
82', MARCO PAROLO'S HEADER! OHHH IT HIT THE CROSSBAR! DAMN IT! 0-0!
Then Zlatan! Now, Konata decided to make some change. She suddenly changed Usagi's plan. It moved to Granqvist. But too much aggression could help nothing except for a zero result.
Usagi found that nothing helped, had decided to use her blast again. This time…
When everyone thought it was 0-0… ÉDER! HE RAN, HE WAS UNDER SIEGE BY MANY SWEDISH DEFENDERS, 4 DEFENDERS, BUT HE RAN, HE SHOT!
OH…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED! ÉDER! ITALY 1-0 SWEDEN!
DEFINITELY SWEDEN MUST BE VERY SORRY FOR MISSING A LOT OF GOOD CHANCE! ITALIAAAAAAAAAAAA…
Wow, Usagi, she used Moon Blast, and now Italy scored at 88'! Mai wasn't prepared for it.
And so, from now…
…
Candreva! Zaza! Wow! They tried to hold a ball. And some Swedish attackers got angered…
However, there was a funny… story. Buffon got a yellow card for trying to make the time longer. Only this?
But it never changed a fact, Italy had gotten a lead and no more hope for Sweden. 1-0 for Italy and…
OVER!
Italy 1-0 Sweden! When everyone believed in a draw, Italy stroke! Italy won! Grazie Éder, Brasile! FORZA ITALIA! FORZA AZZURRI!
Usagi Tsukino (Italy) 1-0 Mai Kawakami (Sweden)
It ended like that, Ibra had nothing to say… With Italy, they had officially qualified for the next round!
