Best team won but as you say they struggled.0 -
Absolutely pathetic penalties from Switzerland1
-
Tough on the Swiss, wouldn't fancy Spain against either Italy or Belgium based on that.0

Winds me up watching it. Stupid stuttering run ups and a telegraph side footer with zero pace. Just bang it.Athletico Charlton said:Bollox. All that brave defending and then two of them decided to tap the ball towards the keeper in the shoot out. If you are going to miss, do so sticking your laces through it.1 -
At least the shitness of the penalty taking was shared amongst several players, so while they'll all be gutted there's no single scapegoat.Athletico Charlton said:Bollox.

Spain need to improve their finishing..0

Sommer played so well, very unlucky to lose.1
-
The worst penalty shootout I've ever seen.
The complete opposite of Charlton v Sunderland which was the best1 -
Bolleaux. Really wanted Spain to go out.0
-
Now we get to see if Italy are good enough to beat a top team. I hope they do as I think we would have too much pace for them if we meet them in the final0

Holy crap! It was paused and 5 minutes behind! The wifey did that and did not tell me!Callumcafc said:
Might want to check your tele mate, did you pause it at half time?NapaAddick said:One of these Spain attacks is probably going to be successful sooner or later.I've.....corrected her.

I think Spanish fans have been telling Morata that on social media, although not quite as politely.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Spain need to improve their finishing..1 -
Spain’s results are ominously close to what Portugal did in 2016.
-Barely get out of group with too many draws (ok Spain won against Slovakia).
-Beat Croatia in extra time in the round of 16
-Beat Poland on penalties in the quarter final (Poland needed penalties to get past Switzerland)
Next up…
-Play the team who beat Belgium in the QF in the semi final?
-Play the final against the hosts and win in extra time?1 -
How did that Spain team beat Germany 6-0??
They’re extremely average and I’d imagine Belgium/Italy will be licking their lips.3 -
Awful penalties! Very easy saves for the keeper. Hard, low, into the corners is what I was taught as a kid.
As for the keepers, the 1st penalties that were scored where both the Spain guy & Sommer guessed, they were no-where near them.
I was a keeper when I was younger, & without guessing where the ball may go, & waiting for that split second after the strike, I reckon I saved about 90% of what I faced.
I never understand why keepers guess for penalties. They wouldn't guess if there was a shot from near the penalty spot.

Could sit and watch Italy sing their anthem all night0

So who wins this match? I'll take Italy 1-0.

Sorry, typo, 80%. Though I reckon closer to 85%. I was actually pretty good with penalties (No BS). Never guessed. Always thought I stood a better chance that way.se9addick said:

I'd guess that even a 40% penalty save record would be good for a keeper.Stefco said:

About 3 offsides there.
Well at least 2.1 -
Lets see what you're made of Belgium...
Just another Golden Generation like the England team under Sven

With the whole “let play come to a natural conclusion before deciding if the goal was offside” the role of the linesman is becoming pretty redundant0

Belgium looking dangerous on the break0
