    Awful penalties! Very easy saves for the keeper. Hard, low, into the corners is what I was taught as a kid. 

    As for the keepers, the 1st penalties that were scored where both the Spain guy & Sommer guessed, they were no-where near them.

    I was a keeper when I was younger, & without guessing where the ball may go, & waiting for that split second after the strike, I reckon I saved about 90% of what I faced. 

    I never understand why keepers guess for penalties. They wouldn't guess if there was a shot from near the penalty spot.

    It does my nut in!
    You saved 90% of penalties? 
    Sorry, typo, 80%. Though I reckon closer to 85%. I was actually pretty good with penalties (No BS). Never guessed. Always thought I stood a better chance that way.
    I'd guess that even a 40% penalty save record would be good for a keeper.

    How old were you?
    Between the ages of 7-20. I was a big bastard for my age. I also have a positive ape index, meaning my arm span is greater than my height.

    You was probably facing fat Dave, not the best players in Spain.
    He sounds familiar! :-D

    Great finish, but shoddy defending

    If ever you needed hard evidence that playacting is rife, watch that goal again once the ball has hit the net.

    Barella - tidy little player. Not sure why he couldn't do that when I was backing him through the group stage though! Sod's law.

    Someone’s managed to raise over £7k to give to the parents of the crying German girl so they can buy a present for her. Weird and unnecessary or am I missing something?
    Being that grown men were calling her a slut and a nazi c*nt, I think it's a nice gesture...

    Those tweets are forever on the internet now and may be used to bully her as she grows older, though I truly hope not.

    Belgium really really poor. Don’t look like they want it at all.

    Italy on the other hand look excellent.
