The Spanish have no focal point up front

And no width, bar the FBs. All concentrated in the centre. They're really missing Villa.

Iniesta is class

sonic85

fcuking stupid from spain playing with no proper forward. at least having torres or llorente in there would give them some class of aerial threat

tigger123

Spain looking quite flat...

He looks like the only Spanish player who is on his game. He could nick a goal.

Balotelli really is having a shocker.

Nuri Sahin

Silva....

swoody

why did silva kick the ball backwards?

Jax Teller

That's a booking

sonic85

loads of fannying about from spain with no real end product. cassano very lucky there

yomtea98

Tackles flying in

swoody

noodler

Definite yellow.

Game getting tasty now.

Mars Bar

Some tackles going in! Love that!

briany

Cassano bangin' the head there, the headbanger.

Samich

Spain are like Barca, afraid to shoot.

Probably because it's not instinctive to him to turn and get a shot off. It's ridiculous really that they've no one up front who can score naturally.

kitakyushu

Best game so far.

JaMarcus Hustle

De Rossi is bossing this.

sonic85

pirlo is class

swoody

lol balotelli

Francie Barrett

Casillas looks dodgy so far.

spockety

Balotelli thumping the ground. Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

yomtea98

Casillas should have held that,Balotelli raging

El Inho

plenty of passion in this game...

Pirlo is magical

I said that on Friday, when played over the top you'd think it'd bounce over the end line, now it's staying in.

Even the couple of shots at Casillas have bounced and stayed low.

Nuri Sahin

Booking everyday of the week.

Ref is incredibly lenient.

bwatson

looked as if it should have been a penalty kick to Italy from the tangle between Balotelli and Pique.

Jimmy Iovine

Jesus what a goal that would have been.

swoody

some shot

Mars Bar

Would have been class if that went in!

JaMarcus Hustle

My goodness, what an effort.

adox

Lovely affort!!!

markie29

Italy are playing very well so far!

Mars Bar

Why do they bother with Balotelli?!

yomtea98

Leave Mario alone

Chardee MacDennis

jesus balotelli gets a hard time...

markie29

anyone have a bet on balotelli for first booking??

that booking was coming since the game kicked off.

sonic85

ballotelli stands danger now on a yellow - one rush of blood to the head and hes gone. maybe prandelli should look at a change

He is a moron.

Moaning aside, he has committed two fouls in the last 10 minutes.

Taking each incident on its merits, I think they were worth a yellow combined.

kevohmsford

Yellow for Balotelli. He is going to let Italy down.

the one in the box shouldnt have been a free against him.

El Inho

As immature as Mario is, the treatment of him is completely over the top.

wonderfullife

Spain look so impotent. Unless they walk the ball into the net (which to be fair with their players they might do), can't see them scoring today.

sonic85

spain look like theyre trying to walk the ball in

tdv123

That ref really loves to blow that whistle.

Francie Barrett

He gave the ball away cheaply that led to a counter attack that Spain nearly scored from as well....

Kid has a lot to learn.

Jax Teller

Spain need a Striker on
