Khedira thuds the ball into advert hoardings after another close shave for the Italian defence.
De Rossi just went down and hobbled a bit but back up. Was slight injury doubt before the match.
Old foes Germany and Italy spar for Spain final
WARSAW (Reuters) – Germany’s bid to reach the Euro 2012 final by beating Italy for the first time in 17 years on Thursday looks strong with Joachim Loew’s young side on song while Cesare Prandelli’s team have injury doubts.
The Germans will be wary however, as when they last met in a competitive outing at the 2006 World Cup on home soil the Italians crashed their party with a 2-0 semi-final win, Germany’s first loss in Dortmund.

Who needs strikers? Spain will probably come to life now.
@reuters_alexh Saw two Germans earlier in the shopping centre. They looked utterly perplexed in their plastic cowboy hats. They with you?
Spain’s goalkeeper is kicking the ball long rather than the usual throw to a nearby defender. Spain are playing like the English. #euro2012

I hear Alvaro Negredo once got the better of Pepe. Could add spice to Portugal v Spain semi-final. #euro2012
@sgevans If that rug falls off, yes.
