About arrogance

German press before the semi-final: "Arrivederci, Italia!" / "Italy have booked the flight back..." / "What kind of pizza would you have?"
German press after the semi-final: "It hurts so much!" / "Beaten by a more competent team..." / "We'll never eat pizza again!"

Ah, the difference. There's a wise saying: "He laughs best, who laughs last". I've noticed this natural law: arrogance gets punished, sooner or later.
