Beating Norway is possible. That's the message the Italian soccer team is sending to the Italian national team after their 2-1 victory over the Scandinavian team in Geneva , propelling them to the European Championship semifinals. A feat they last achieved in 1997, when only eight teams participated.
Andrea Soncin's Italy, thanks to Girelli's brace, accomplished a feat few believed in. They are among the top four on the continent and now await their opponents, who will emerge from the match between Sweden and England.
On the eve of the tournament, reaching the quarterfinals would have been considered a success, something they hadn't done since 2013, but at this point, nothing stops us from dreaming. "It's an incredible feeling, everything is fantastic. It's a beautiful message for the entire movement, it's the gift we can give to those who live football with passion," the coach commented. "We're proud, the girls have done something exceptional, now let's enjoy the moment, then we'll think about the semifinal."
