    Three poor games today. Far too cagey.

    Welcome to knock out football, wait till the semis and the final

    One of the most disappointing games, given the talent on both sides.

    This side of the draw is there for the taking. What a monumental fuck up we will inevitably regret.

    You say that, however if England hadn't scored the last minute winner against Wales, they would be at home now.
    We'd have qualified as one of the best third place teams with three draws, and been playing Germany tomorrow.

    So... almost as good as home. ;-)

    Not sure who will regret it more, us or Spain.

    i don't even particularly think we will regret it. the better football will be in our half. the greater glory. if we lose (except on monday) it'll have been to a properly good side. bring on the half of death

    At least we'll lose on penalties to a decent team

    Just get the feeling that Croatia could easily win this, if they weren't so scared of losing.

    Surprisingly poor game this one, looks odds on penalties to me.

    Was really looking forward to Croatia v Portugal but woefully disappointing.

    I can't believe what I'm seeing. This is Vanerama Conference quality.

    Think it might be 0-0 after penalties!

    to distract ourselves, let's post great non-league goals

    The final ball from both teams is woeful.

    Ronaldo has missed 4 of his last 6 penalties for club and country according to the commentary which surprised me.

    Yes I take that point after my Slovakia game remarks.

    If he'd spent less time fouling and more time getting set to jump, he'd have scored there.

    I've just heard on the radio that this is the first major tournament game since 1966 with no shot on target during 90 minutes. Brilliant.

    Croatia seem to have woken up a bit. Took them 110 minutes ffs
