    I am going for Italy, less skilful, more heavy duty, terrific on the break and great defenders

    They weren't empty but torrential rain at the very start had lots of them running for cover

    Spanish and Italian fans are tediously boring, even more so in a neutral venue.

    The Spanish apart from the odd team seem to always have crap atmospheres

    Ridiculous to have Spain and Italy meeting in a last 16 match!

    Wales win a group and get a 3rd place team (N Ireland), Italy win a group and get a 2nd place team (Spain), which seems a bit inconsistent

    Nick Pope would have been slaughtered on here for that goal.

    Probably for turning his back on England to play for Spain.....

    If De Gea isn't currently the best goalkeeper in the world, I don't know who is

    Spain are shocking, Italy having a go at eachother for not moving around enough despite dominating them. Shows just how disciplined and focused they are.

    Well, he's name is pope...

    And those Irish fans can sing songs about him thinking the queens a slag.

    Spain are a spent force now it would seem. Makes you realise what a good player Xavi was - used to pull the strings in midfield.

    Not watching but have they not been dubbed the worst Italy team for 40 years?

    On paper you would say they have a lot of a average joes. But the 3 centre halves and the keeper have been together at Juve for ages and know each other inside out - which is a huge advantage for them. The key against them is getting the lead.... go 1-0 down and it's a massive struggle to break down the defence.

    Cue Spain 2-1!!
