Italy vs Spain Match Thread

[Lisburn Red]

If the Italians go 3-0 down will they surrender and swap sides?

[ChesterDave]

BBC saying Spain haven't let a competitive goal in since Euro 2008, Switzerland and Italy come to mind.

As **** as the commentary has been, they did qualify that with being knockout matches only.

[Buzzo]

desperately trying to explain away their take on Spain being "anti-football"

I am assume they didn't put themselves through watching England, that was true anti football!

Thats it isn't it. Spain 'may' have in the last few games not been quite as good as we are used to (good tonight though).

For proper ****e see England, for whom playing bollocks and getting eliminated in the quarter finals is now viewed as being acceptable.

[Daniel 7]

Spain peaked for tonight.

They've been excellent, and they measured the tournament for tonight.

[Kenneth]

Bit of a shame its 11vs10 now. Probably wouldn't have made any difference, but the game is dead now.

[Daniel 7]

Torres on

Cue Chris....

[Exiled_red]

Torres on for Fabregas

[Chris]

Oh here we go, the fraud likes scoring when the games already over.

[Daniel 7]

Oh here we go, the fraud likes scoring when the games already over.

[RichC]

Feel sorry for the Italian coach, tried to change things up but you can't allow for someone doing their hammy 5 minutes after coming on

[RichC]

[ChesterDave]

Ramos unceremoniously thrown out the way

[Buzzo]

[ChesterDave]

I'm guessing beating England was not one of the miracles worked to get Italy this far.
