Spain lacks Puyol...

 

[Quasit]

Yes if it ends 0-0 Italy need just a win. IF 1-1 Italy needs 3-1. If 2-2 then Croatia and Spain go through.

Who's tattoo was that?

DDR, and awful referring in the match with Italy, making the Italians very nervous.

 

[Tyton]

Spain are dissapointing. A lot more bad passes than i would expect. Surprised Llorente didnt come for Torres, Spain could really use some muscle in front, Croat defenders and DMs are both strong and quick on their feet.

Spain really annoy me, get Llorente on and put some ******* crosses in!!! They do know a headed/scrappy goal is the same value as a goal walked into the back of the net right?

It seems they'd rather dominate some worthless possession stat.

That is what happens when you have a more direct outlet.

Looks you can walk it in after all..

Spain was very helped in this game against Croatia! Clear penalty by Ramos in the first half.

 

[insanity]

Finally the dirty and ugly play of the Ireland is penalized with a red card. The ref should have shown at least 1 more...

 

[insanity]

Oh what a goal from Balotelli! Offside goal for Spain

 

[CJACKO11]

Great goal by Mario!

 

[rephlex]

Think the Ramos foul coud have gone either way, that call had to come from the official by the goal or linesman, even the slowmo looks like he got the ball, but took the man too. It entirely depends on the ref in that situation, some would give it, some would focus on "did he get the ball?" over everything else.

In the other game, great finish by Balotelli.

Dunno about pen in first half, but I saw a pen few minutes ago. Some player pulled Corluka with both hads.. and this goal, was it offside ?

 

[slbenficacoach]

Spain 1st
Italy 2nd.
BEWARE !

 

[slbenficacoach]

Didn't see the goal! my friend says that some player interfered with the play though. that pen, possible

YES YES YES! Fairplay for Croatia! Italy are going forward!

Yeah Arbaloa was doing some serious shirt pulling in the box. Regarding all this Torres talk, I thought the side looked pretty toothless, perhaps it comes down to the way the Barcelona mids play together which let him get beyond the defence like he does for his club side.
