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.

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.
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.
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.

And the lottery numbers are.....
One of the best games of the tournament.
This is an Italy side minus their best player too.
