Some of Spain’s passing was superb last night, but when they did manage to break through Sweden’s, at times 8 man, defence the finishing ball was terrible. The fact they tried the short passing game for entire game made me realise Spain have no plan b. If they’d attempted something else later in second half, I’m sure they’d have won last night.
I could see myself doing that if the ball was coming at me (within 25 to 30 goes), but one of the pundits made the point yesterday, it is far harder to do that with the ball moving away from you which gives the who thing an extra element. A great goal.
That was some goal, but is it just me who wondered why the keeper was so far out? I know they effectively got countered but still felt poor positioning, take nothing away from the strike it was stunning!

Definitely not just you. Huge mistake from the keeper, by all means stand at edge of the D when your team is attacking, but that far up the pitch was idiotic. But as you say, the strike was stunning.

No, I think at least 5 million people were thinking the same thing.

The weird thing was how neither of the 2 Scottish commentators and none of the 4 scots in the studio seemed to notice at the time…
Ronaldo removed the Coca Cola bottles from the table and replaced them with a water bottle before he would start the press briefing for Portugal's match against Hungary. I wonder if Ufea will fine him.

I saw that... Is he have a deal with Pepsi or something like that?
Ronaldo is just a health freak. And famously disciplined to the extreme. No doubt thinks it's ridiculous that an elite sports tournament is being sponsored by a sugary drinks brand.
Watching Spain cured my insomnia anyway. Dear God that was dull.
Such a boring tournament so far- rescued only by a Scottish goalkeeper. That about sums it up.
Bland corporate sport for the international consumer.
Really? I think it’s been great! From Italy’s unexpectedly attacking dominance, to Goran Pandev scoring in his countries first ever match at a major tournament, and the exhilarating 100mph match between the Netherlands & Ukraine it been really exciting.

If sugar is the issue, he could have replaced them with coca cola zero, lol.
I drink coca cola zero but I do it knowing that it's probably not good for me, much the same as alcohol consumption. Limited consumption is key.
Cigarettes aren't allowed to advertise and nor should be salty / sugary / aspartame products.
Go out, have fun, be free but consume better and save lives.
expect mega bids for Schick from a few of our Prem clubs
Not sure about that. He's not been that prolific in the Bundesliga this season - one in three for Leverkusen.
He's not the type of striker English fans appreciate. He's very measured in everything he does, and being tall and visible, sometimes looks as if he isn't putting in the "effort". That was my neighbour's grouse with him on Friday when we were out for beers. Needless to say, he is re-thinking.
@ForeverAddickted Hlozek just signed a new contract 3 weeks ago. I think Sparta want him at least for next season when they fancy themselves to wrest the title back from Slavia.

If Germany lose to France and Portugal, for example, they may need a decent win v Hungary by 2 or 3.
What a hit that was.
There's two Hendersons you say...
Oh
