Russia just need to make sure they don't concede again before half time, a bit of a **** game but whilst it's 1-0 there always a chance.
 
My money's on fierce violence breaking out as soon as Russia get knocked out. Fighting until the end of the tournament.


Come on Spain <whistle>
 
It's that their squad is packed full of great players.

They aren't playing well as a team though, sacking the manager was never going to help.

True but a lot of people have been saying they've been one of the best teams in the tournament and I just don't see that. Wouldn't be surprised if Russia turn them over.

Yeah exactly this. On paper they're absolute quality. The manager fiasco must have been difficult.

They'll beat Russia imo but I can't see them winning it, purely due to the manager situation.

If it happened to England with Southgate I doubt we'd have even got out the group.

Have they? The game against Portugal was just chaos and they haven't been great in any other games imo.

Croatia are my dark horse.

I've seen quite a few people on different boards saying how they've been one of the best teams and like you I just don't see it.

Croatia are too good to be considered a dark horse imo.

For all their pretty possession based football, Spain don’t create enough chances for me. Possession without end product is pointless.
