spain - italy

If the Italians score first it'll be torture watching them pack 10 men behind the ball and defend for the rest of the game.

Germany, Turkey, Russia, Italy...what a great semi line up that would be.

Just laid the Spanish with a view to backing back if the opportunity arises.

italy looking the better side, but its been poor so far.

Spain falling into their usual trap of playing at a very low tempo, not stretching Italy at all, who are of course rather defensive.

Spain look a little nervous at the back, could easily see a mistake.

well, that was exciting wasnt it...............

more of the same in the 2nd half, for me

0-0 stamped all over it




even after penalties

great example of why international football is shit. Typical Italy......throw 10 men behind the ball and hold on for penalties.

roll on august

i thought this tournament would be great without all the england hype, but it's been a bag of toss apart from about 20 mins in 3 games.

no way, these quarters have been poor, but there were some very good matches in the groups.
