French Toast

Swiss lads shat the kacks.

Muahahaha

Spain let off the hook with some dreadful Swiss penos. Sommer saved one and the first hit the post so the Swiss should have sorted that

AllGunsBlazing

Erase all video recordings of this game and never speak of it again!

Jaysus!:eek:

Glad for Spain. Good to keep some of the better teams in for the future games.

AndyBoBandy

I love penalty shootouts for the sheer drama of them,

but I'll maintain that they are an absolutely horrible way to decide a game.

archfi

Well done Spain, though poor tonight.
Spain v Belgium or Italy - hopefully setup for a good one.

vetinari

Teams rarely win two penalty shootouts in a tournament.
Swiss players were too tired and lost their nerve.

Muahahaha

Spanish goalie playing a blinder putting them off.

yeah Simons movement on his line is very off putting for the taker, it would make a player change his mind on where he is shooting. Im pretty sure one of them did and delivered a weak shot that was saved

Strumms

As poor as Spain were tonight they play better football and will do more to entertain...

Grandeeod

Don't fancy Spain at all. Italy all the way for me. Dreadful penalty shoot out.

Larbre34

Italy will humiliate that Spanish team.

I'd be of the opinion the Swiss could have played as good a semi final as the Spanish

Can't see the Spanish doing much except try to maintain possession, gradually advance a high line etc

If they get the run on a team they can score a shedload but it's not the same as a really exciting Attacking team, if they come up against a match or well organised disciplined defensive unit it's just a bland stalemate of a thing most of the time .....hope the Italians if they make it there give them a good hiding.

The Swiss parked the bus after they equalised. That said I’d prefer Italy or Belgium to either Spain or Switzerland

Montage of Feck

l'Italia s'è desta!!!

Swaine

Pathetic dive from Insigne. Book him ffs!

archfi

De Bruyne great effort!

French Toast

Italian all-white kit is a beaut.

archfi

End-to-end now,
Keep it up lads

AllGunsBlazing

This one merits a far bigger attendance.

Arghus

Funny moment there between Chiellini and Witzel.

AllGunsBlazing

See Spain?? That's how it's done!

archfi

Beaut for Italy
This can only be a better belter

French Toast

Surrounded and comes out with a score, surely someone should have stuck a foot in there.

odyssey06

A goal celebrated in all of Italy?
No... they curse it in Sicily as the Mafia has bet big on Belgium!

Arghus

That was coming.

LOL at clearly oh so hurt Immobile just magically being cured the instant Italy score.

mzungu

Big test for Belgium now.

Grandeeod

The way Italy can put a pass about in the box. Wonderful.

archfi

Oh what a goal Insigne
What a goal
2 up Italy

Say Your Number

GOLAZO!

mzungu

Wow!

mzungu

It's all happening now.

archfi

It's an exciting end to the half, what more do you want.

Bad peno to give away. Still fancy Italy to see this home.

archfi

Now this is well setup for a (hopefully) classic quarter final

trashcan

That should make a game of it. Not that it hasn’t been so far.

They will.

Strumms

I just walked in to see a sole repay of the foul, was the peno slightly on the soft side ? Looked to be. Belgian player was playing the Italian too with his arm.

Either way a bit of a stupid challenge...

stoofer

Some game!
I considered Stephen Kelly to be a birdbrain but he and Des Curran have been very good on commentary - insightful on patterns of play and picking up on things quickly. You can tell they're up for it. Obviously, it was a plum gig but still they've impressed

MayoAreMagic

Belgium not looking great. They remind me of the old england side full of stars but no good together. Furthermore, a manager in the mix who seems too nice and a maybe a bit of a spoofer to boot, a la sven.

Say Your Number

I'm sick to death of all those parasitical bookmaker ads, bring back Maroon 5.

Better than Kenny and Kenny in St Petersburg anyway.:D

Ref is letting a lot go while I think a couple were in fact fouls it’s helping the flow of the game ..,

ohnonotgmail

How did Lukaku miss that?

archfi

Spinozolla's arse saves Italy

Say Your Number

It's like they scored the way they celebrated that block.
