    Yeah, that's true, the French did have it harder. Gutted about the Russians, though. They got off to a flying start, and were even being compared to the attacking flair of Germany, and then - like a lot of my predictions - the wheels came off. Against Greece! <grr>

    Everything points to Spain making history. Outstanding players in just about every position, won the Euro's in '08 & won the World Cup in '10.

    But something in me says Italy could upset the apple cart. After entering the tournament on the back of another match-fixing scandal, it could be written for them.

    Need to take their chances! And need to get the ball...

    Great play from Spain, there. Carved up the Italy defense!

    I'm supporting the under dog. Always the underdog. <ok>

    Unless it's United of course.

    Good goal.

    Lovely pass into Fabregas, who I thought might have gone too far and lost the chance, but a good cross into Silva who heads it home.

    1-0 Spain and Italy have it all to do.

    I thought Fabregas was going to embody the Arsenal try-to-walk-it-into-the-net mentality, but he did well in the end. Italy need a response now. Still a game either side could win. Cassano could be key, for me.

    Brilliant tackle on Iniesta from Pirlo. Had to be perfect or it was a penalty.

    Chiellini has to come off with an injury and Balzaretti comes on in his place.

    Early enforced chance for Italy.

    Good play from De Rossi, almost manufactures something for Cassano.
