    Could do with these two slugging it out through extra time.

    Third good chance missed for Spain. 
    If anyone is surprised by the retention of the ball by Spain you haven't been paying attention to the stats in this competition. Expect Italy to create and take a chance soon.

    Both are quality going forward. Italy can defend. Spain can’t. 

    Shit.

    Cracking goal. Spain paying the price of the false 9.

    Good finish - but surely the keeper has to have a dive there?

    Anyway Spain will be alright, the goal machine is on now (guaranteed to score now)

    The passing and movement of both of these sides could make us look pretty pedestrian I fear, if we make it past Denmark.

    Lovely finish, can’t see Spain coming back into this now…

    Bit of a half-arsed attempt at a save from the Spanish keeper though.

    I keep wondering why the Spanish are so sweaty, then realise it’s the pattern on their shirts

    Genuinely thought Spain were looking a lot better up to the goal, to the extent Italy almost looked a preferable opponent for the final if we get there.   But this looks like old school Italy, and for the moment it's working.

    Deary me, there's missing a chance and then there's that. So frustrating watching Spain in the final third.

    The finishing of the Spanish makes Crystal Palace look ruthless in front of goal

    Is there a word for an air-shot when you do it with your head?

    Maybe, but the movement, speed and accuracy of pass in the lead up was excellent (and very un-Italian). The finish wasn't bad either.

    This is why neither worry me if we get to the final. Spain need 50 attempts to score a goal which we don’t give away. Italy concede attempts to a good team and with a more clinical strike force like ours they would get punished.

    This is such a high quality game. 

    One of the best games of the tournament. 

    This is an Italy side minus their best player too.

    Honestly don’t know what to make of this from an England perspective. Italy giving up quite a few chances and Spain can’t finish. Spain’s pressing is causing problems but their defence is so high up that the counter is on every time. Good luck working this out if we get there Gareth.
