bretonvilla Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Whenever we get to the knockout stages of a tournament I can't help but get pessimistic due to the fact that since 66 we haven't beaten a top nation at this stage ( Spain in 96 , but that wasn't the Spain of recent times ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why arnt spain wearing home kit It pisses me off when teams play in their away kit for no reason (other than trying to flog kits). Italy are annihilating Spain here.

gharperr Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) liking the exploit/move of cb -> WB -> little dink to pelle -> play off. Making it seem so effortless and moving up the pitch really well. Happened few times now. wheres busquets in all this ? Swear hes nowhere to be seen in those movements? Whos dragging him?

VillaChris Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Amazed Man. City are in for Nolito, he looks nowhere near an elite player. Spain just lost that hunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Pique and Ramos are on the wrong side of the hill, not the players they were, they are way more vulnerable than they used to be. I also don't understand the wisdom in subbing your top scorer off when you're losing a must win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2016 Said earlier in the tournament that if your defence is as good as Italy's then it can take you a log way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 There's no doubt that Spain aren't the Spain of recent years, but i think this game is more down to what Italy are doing well rather than what Spain aren't. Italy were my pick for the tournament after the first round of games, and I've seen nothing to change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Was going to stick a bit on Italy to win the whole thing, pre-tournament, but was put off by Verratti and Marchisio being out. Them and Germany certainly look the sides to beat though. Edited June 27, 2016 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
