Midfield of Xavi, Busquets and Alonso seems like an overkill.

Spain could use Fabregas (and perhaps Navas) in the second half.

They've been pretty sloppy with the ball so far. Haven't seen the usual crisp passes.

if Italy wins 2-0, and the other match stays 0-0, who advances?

The only way Italy doesn't advance after a win is if the Spain - Croatia match ends in a 2-2 (or higher) tie.

Spain is through regardless or the score if they draw.
The only way Spain doesn't advance is if they lose.

/e- Whoops, didn't get the question

This "3-way-tiebreaker" rule is giving me a headache. Just wait until ESP-CRO is 1-1, and then it becomes REALLY freaky. :giveup:

(long story cut short, in that case, 1. ESP, 2. ITA, 3. CRO - UEFA coefficient) :crowded:

HUGE chance by Rakitic, Casillas with a superb save

If ESP - CRO is 1-1, then Italy needs to win 3-1 or higher, I think.

Italy is out if Spain Croatia tie 1:1 because of total goal differential. They need to beat Ireland by 3:1 or better in that case.

Strange sub - Navas for... Torres?! No CF with half an hour left? Wow.

I would have replaced Silva with Navas.

Still no sign of Fabregas.

CRO with a double switch

ST Jelavic and ST Perisic for MF Pranjic and DF Vida

Message is clear: score the damn goal!!
