Rakitic should have scored that header.

Unimpressed with Spain in the attacking 3rd.

Gee, yet another EC in which strong Croatians get shafted by fate. Remember the 2008 QF vs Turkey, in which they conceded equaliser in the 122th and lost after PKs?

Italy and Spain advance.

Corluka's miss was worse IMO. If he let the ball hit him in the face he would have scored.

He was being pulled down by Busquets

Good god. I saw him get held but the replay looks much worse. Either way that should have been a goal.

So 2 penalties against Spain not given and Iniesta clearly used his hand on that assist.

Wolfgang Stark, I am not amused. :nonono:

Spain was really underwhelming in attack.

You can see that they're clearly hurt by the absence of Villa this year.
Don't see them going far this year unless Torres really finds his form.

Also they're still giving up a LOT of shots from the edge of the box... which is a huge mistake considering all of them can shoot... overplaying the ball.

Why do they have their back toward the field?

I really wanna know what Balo said.

Most likely towards the coach

I doubt it would be towards his coach...I'm assuming an opponent, as Prandelli has always given him 100% support

What does Llorente have to do to get some time?

-Potential Quarter matchups: Spain v England France v Italy

well he definitely said something controversial cuz they were covering his mouth

yea, typical Mario... i get the feeling his teammates were prepared to cover his mouth even before he said anything :lol:

It seems I am the only one that thinks Balotelli is overrated. The guy has 1 good game in every 5 and people make him out like he is Ronaldo. He irritates me. That was a good goal but he looked poor in all of his other chances, indecisive and poor quality. Same with the first 2 games.

Which two teams will advance?
