...Gritty, dogged Italy advanced to the quarters by somehow avoiding a loss to Romania and beating a French team that is fading faster than its own side. Against high-scoring Spain, and lacking its midfield virtuoso Andrea Pirlo, Italy opted for its classic catennacio defense, and Spain suffered the consequences.

So today I'm breathing a little easier." For Gazans and their neighbors in southern Israel, the truce has brought at least temporary relief from the specter of death striking randomly from the sky in the form of a fiery missile.
