welp, Germany and Spain are reminding everyone they are not to be forgotten about when speaking of contenders.

Nervous as heck for Italy-Albania, but a blowout here would help either team.

Rooting for Yamal to score. Not only for the history but he deserves it today, he was the architect for their last two.

Spurs played Barcelona last summer during preseason at Camp Nou. Spurs were winning the game off a Skipp brace, but Yamal came on late and absolutely killed us. I wasn't aware of him before then but I definitely am now. Looks like a heck of a talent.

Petkovic scores to make it 3-1. Misses the initial penalty, but it's cut back to Petkovic off the rebound.

Think they're looking for encroachment on the VAR.

It's chalked off. That's annoying, I had this as 3-1 in the predictor.

I just assumed they called penalty on something else. Otherwise if VAR didnt change the ruling there they should just toss it, ridiculous.

Italy controlling the ball easily on Albania's half, probably could keep generating chances all game.

Albania looks nervous. No pressing. No ball control or possession. And not even marking their men. This sucks.

It's ok to bunker. But with no marking or counters, it's suicide.
