Henry .. the French one .. summed it up succinctly, Modric goes off and the Croats implode .. well done the Czechs .. keeps the whole thing more interesting
More to the point - this is a country that little more than months ago witnessed one of the worst atrocities and yet fans are allowed to go into grounds unchecked. Flares now - what next?
Brought my beer back from the pub (you can do that here), it was too much :-)
Still reeling from the idiocy of the Croatian fans. Seems to be some kind of internal issue involving Split v Zagreb and alleged corruption in the Croatian FA, which might explain the fighting. Well that's a great way to resolve it.
Great to see poetic justice respond so swiftly to the disgusting Croatia fans. You have to feel sorry for their team though, as they outclassed the Czech Republic!
Don't get me wrong, the Spanish are marvellous to watch in terms of passing and control.. BUT, personally I haven't felt that bored by a football match in a long time.
I'm not sure why; as I say, Spain play a smooth and skilful game, and there were 3 goals too. It just seemed a bit slow and stale. Perhaps it was because Turkey seemed too nervous to really play after going 1-0 down?

Doesnt matter if the team involved has been innocent so far, everyone has had two warnings with these incidents now!!
I just don't get how flares can get into the ground? I'd be seriously worried by the security at this tournament.
I thought the ball had to go forward, has that been abolished?
On another note are we getting a boring Spanish game commentated on by Tony Pulis?

Oh, nice goal!
