Great news that Brazilian cunt Costa has been left out of the Spain squad.

[Chazza]

Leaving Saul out after the season he has just had is harsh and possibly a mistake.

[Phoenix07]

I've seen stronger Spain squads in the past.

[Chazza]

Spain giving South Korea a ruddy good seeing to.

5-0 up after 54 mins

[Fernandinho]

Did Spin just get beat 1-0 by Georgia???

[danperkins]

Don't think they arsed a nobody wants to get injured.

[ChesterDave]

I realised today that I'm gonna be in Nice next week at the same time as the Spain / Turkey game.

Would tickets be easy to get via official means?
