Spain and Italy are drawing 0-0 at halftime of the last quarter-final today with neither side able to really test the goalkeepers.
David Silva's left foot shot flew just wide for Spain while a low free kick from David Villa was solidly kept out by Gianluigi Buffon in a cagey opening period. World champions Italy came closest when Simone Perrotta's header was easily saved by Iker Casillas following Massimo Ambrosini's cross. The winners play Russia in the second semi-final on Thursday. Germany face Turkey on Wednesday.
