Spain v Italy match thread

[-V-]

I missed the first 40 mins because the missus wanted sex. Glad I didn't miss much in the footy

Italy are strangely looking good

why is that strange?

[Chazza]

Yep I've enjoyed it

Ref seems keen to let it flow as much as possible

Watch him have a shocker now 2nd half

[Rigadon]

Fabregas is no Messi

I know he's ok, but I've never seen Fabregas look amazing. I must have missed it, because he seems to be so highly rated. He looks good, but never as great as the press makes out.

This formation isn't working for Spain, Italy look lots sharper with two strikers.

He's a good midfielder (but not good enough to get in the first 11) and he's definitely not a striker. Time to bring on Llorente??

I still prefer Martinez to Rodgers

r u serious? OK it's not sensational, but it's best game so far on tournament, IMO. action non-stop

Ok, maybe I'm being a bit harsh but... Spain passing, passing and passing but not really going anywhere. Italy, fair play to them, at least they are actually deciding to have a go at shooting...

[Rigadon]

Balotelli there...

I wish the refs would cut him some slack - they book him for doing **** all (quite literally, sometimes)

Well if his challenge was worthy of a yellow then the ref really should of gone back and booked De Rossi.

[Daniel 7]

Did you all miss Balotelli's overhead flick to keep the ball in control and lay off to the full back?

It was the best bit in the tournament so far!

[SimonNo7]

Better from Spain. Fabregas gets a shot in, saved by Buffon.

Xavi with a shot from distance, off target.

Brilliant that

Champion and Burley didn't even acknowledge it
