    Surprised by Spain.

    They looked incredibly sharp in the first two games and the first half of Croatia but they've been lethargic since then.

    Maybe too old? Too many games? Too much success and not enough hunger?
    .

    The introduction of blood testing?

    Funny how little he saves the ball & it goes in front of him. Always pushes it out wide. Classy goalie. Far outlived the Kahn's & Casillas who fell apart in their latter years.

    The best goalkeeper I've ever seen.

    Will Spain announce retirement from international football?


    Who are you talking about?
    Id say del Bosque will go though.

    Spain aren't good enough to play like the Spain of yesteryear. Whether it's the players aren't good enough, or that there aren't enough Barca players, I'm not sure. But they should really have been well beaten were it not for DDG.

    Fancy Italy to do the Germans now too. Defence is easily the best in the tournament, midfield is rock solid, and hopefully they will start to click up front and start taking more of their chances. 2 goals isn't bad today though.

    if this game was on RTE 100% there would be a Dunphy mulitple-orgasm commentary at the half-time panel about the Italian defenders.

    He wrote them off as old & passed it before their first game, mind you he said the same thing four years ago as well & now he has his dick out for them & is saying they'll win the tournament, lmao! :D. Total bull****ter.

    The era of Spain is over. They reigned for 6 years but it is finished.

    They were well and truly finished 2 years ago. Don't people remember their opening match against Holland that they lost 5-1? And those figures were flattering. Could have easily been 8-0 or 9-0

    Did he leave Boards?! I was wondering why he wasn't posting during Euro 2016.

    Got a temporary ban, threw the rattle out of the pram and demanded it be lifted or he'd never come back. It wasn't lifted as you can imagine!

    Referee mistakes helped Spain to a world title as well as the last Euro. Wow, powerful Spain.
