Match Day Thread Italy v Spain

[Ernie Shackleton]

I've seen nowt to fear so far.


Except that ****ing stupid car...


Can see that broadsiding Harry Kane and taking him out as it weaves it's rapidly unsteady way to the centre spot.

Expect the Italians to swarm round busquets
I keep saying it but I saw him play for Barcelona against levante 18 months ago and he couldn’t run at all they ran rings round him. Him and pique were dreadful and Messi was sulking
Fantastic day to be in the middle of the levante crowd
I remember iniesta saying years ago busquets had the best touch of any of them
Can he turn back the clock?

Chiellini and Bonucci are no spring chickens. Neither of them were blessed with pace to begin with but they're still playing at the highest level.

Busquets is still technically gifted but he's past his best. I guess defenders have a longer expiration date.

Supposed to be scared of these are we, 2 teams going through the motions for the right to be runners up

 

[Phinius T Bookbinder]

How many sending offs/ injuries so far?

I stubbed my toes on the stairs. Quite painful.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

That Oyarzabal kid still thinks he's playing golf!! 9 iron over the bar there.

 

[City Man]

Football's coming home ringing around Wembley.

Healthy whistled down by many of the ITA - SPA crowd.

Don't worry wokesters, it's only bantz.

I think the team's swopped shirts before kick off, Italy playing like Spain did in the earlier games and vice versa

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

This is two really good teams cancelling each out, with Spain marginally on top

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

What a goal
Knew what he was going to do didn’t he

 

[Ric Glasgow]

That was the only way Italy were going to score...Soaked up the pressure and hit them at pace!!

 

[tigerscanada]

Marvellous counter-attack, lovely goal

 

[DMD]

There'll be some serious laying down and calling for trainers now.

 

[DJBlackandamberarmy(No4)]

How he miss that …

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

Worra sitter

 

[Ric Glasgow]

How he miss that …

Oyazabal....sliced it.

 

[Kempton]

This suits us, because Spain are by far the better side.

Get Denmark out of the way, which we will and its in the bag.
