After defeating England in a shootout, Italy will move forward to face Germany in the Euro 2012 semifinals.

Germany certainly enters the match as the favorites, as they boast a flawless 3-0 record during group play and have scored nine goals already.

That is not the case for their opponents, however. The Italians already have two draws during the tournament and had to go to a shootout after a 0-0 draw in regulation.

The Italian defense will certainly play a crucial role if they want to slow down the Germans, but it remains to be seen if that will be enough to stop this juggernaut.
