  • Nice half chance missed there

  • Could do with these two slugging it out through extra time.


  • Third good chance missed for Spain. 
    If anyone is surprised by the retention of the ball by Spain you haven't been paying attention to the stats in this competition. Expect Italy to create and take a chance soon.
  • What a goal that was! 
  • Both are quality going forward. Italy can defend. Spain can’t. 

    Shit.

    And the lottery numbers are.....
  • Now lets see what Spain can do... 
  • Cracking goal. Spain paying the price of the false 9. 
  • Good finish - but surely the keeper has to have a dive there?
  • Now the Italian play acting can really begin lol

  • Don't worry guys - Morata is on

    Anyway Spain will be alright, the goal machine is on now (guaranteed to score now)
  • 15 minutes of Italians on the floor now
  • Well that went well.
  • The passing and movement of both of these sides could make us look pretty pedestrian I fear, if we make it past Denmark.
  • Lovely finish, can’t see Spain coming back into this now…
  • What a goal that was! 
    Bit of a half-arsed attempt at a save from the Spanish keeper though.
  • I keep wondering why the Spanish are so sweaty, then realise it’s the pattern on their shirts
  • This front line is a joke.
  • Has  to score there

  • God what a miss 
  • Genuinely thought Spain were looking a lot better up to the goal, to the extent Italy almost looked a preferable opponent for the final if we get there.   But this looks like old school Italy, and for the moment it's working.
  • Deary me, there's missing a chance and then there's that. So frustrating watching Spain in the final third.

    The finishing of the Spanish makes Crystal Palace look ruthless in front of goal
  • Is there a word for an air-shot when you do it with your head?

    Maybe, but the movement, speed and accuracy of pass in the lead up was excellent (and very un-Italian). The finish wasn't bad either. 
  • This is why neither worry me if we get to the final. Spain need 50 attempts to score a goal which we don’t give away. Italy concede attempts to a good team and with a more clinical strike force like ours they would get punished. 
  • Unai Simon is ticking time bomb too

    This is such a high quality game. 

    One of the best games of the tournament. 

    This is an Italy side minus their best player too. 
  • Honestly don’t know what to make of this from an England perspective. Italy giving up quite a few chances and Spain can’t finish. Spain’s pressing is causing problems but their defence is so high up that the counter is on every time. Good luck working this out if we get there Gareth.
