    It's rather dull watching Spain. For all their skill and movement it just makes for a dull way to play football.

    If it stays like like this and goes to extra time, will Russia bring Dzyuba back on as their 4th sub in case it goes to penalties?
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Spain look bereft of ideas. Their body language looks poor.

    Could this be a repeat of 2002 where Spain went out to the hosts on penalties?

    Spain deserve it more now.

    Penalties!

    I wonder if it's a first that a host nation starts a knockout game with the sole intention of lasting for two hours to get to penalties. The way they celebrated at the final whistle would suggest they did.

    I actually enjoyed the game, Spain clearly the better technical side so Russia had to plan accordingly, a few tussles at corners that were suspect but they gave everything and I thought the game was essentially honest with little gamesmanship or playacting.

    I am pleased for Russia, from what I can see they have put on a tremendous tournament with no reports of any sort of significant issue, the stadiums look fabulous, the crowds all look like they having a ball and given the distances involved, so many fans have been able to criss cross the country without incident or trouble.

    This result is truly amazing for Russia, makes all the work involved worthwhile and is going to give them a real lift and a lasting memory.

    As for us, “the games afoot, follow thy spirit and upon this day, cry God, for Harry and St George!!

    Go for it England

    So happy spain lost

    I thought they were awful

    They kept posession but literally moved it at a snails pace

    Russia were never gonna compete man for man, and after 60 mins they lacked he energy to push spain so i feel there is no shame in them going negative

    I'm finding it a lot easier not to comment on the games as there are so many upsets occurring. ;puzzled
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Not greatly impressed with Denmark vs Croatia not a lot of quality on display, not really doing much for me

    Ho hum
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    neither team can shoot for toffee so far. Very combative though so makes it entertaining if somewhat frustrating at the lack of quality.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    It’s a truly terrible game.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Drama, pen to Croatia

    Saved.

    Not a very good pen by Modric, relatively easy save for Schmeical.
