It's A VAR Gas: Switzerland v Spain

[ad hoc]

30 in 46 for Moreno this year for Villareal, loads of Spanish wanted him over Morata this tournament.

I did too. Even after the first couple of games. But it looks like he won't score given a hundred chances

[Jobi1]

Don't think I'd previously appreciated just how massive the cuffs are on the Spain shirts. Looks like all outfield players are wearing two captain's armbands.

[Sean of the Shed]

Spain really need a different approach. Surely worth giving Adama Traore a go at this defence.

[Sean of the Shed]

Any shots Spain have got on target have gone straight at Sommer.

[ad hoc]

Olmo really stands out in this attack. Prepared to take players on and shoot

[Nefertiti2]

Any shots Spain have got on target have gone straight at Sommer.

except the one he dived brilliantly to save

[Nefertiti2]

Michael Oliver really should have given a free kick there.

[Sunderporinostesta]

Getting like The Alamo now.

[ad hoc]

Don't fancy Spain's chances in a penalty shootout

[S. aureus]

I was in a meeting, I gather from comments up thread that the red was deserved. What happened?

[RobW]

Michael Oliver seemed set on not give the Swiss any free kicks in Extra Time. Dunno what the Swiss player was thinking trying to dribble out of trouble on halfway before giving away a stupid free kick. Really hope Switzerland manage this now.

[hobbes]

I know it'll sound parochial, but I'm baffled how Thiago can only get 8 minutes in extra time in this Spanish side.
None of the rest of the midfield seem capable of playing an incisive pass longer than 10 yards

[Discordant Resonance]

Sliding tackle, studs were showing, but not necessarily sticking up.

[RobW]

Hahahaha.

[Sean of the Shed]

Busquets has a mare

[Lang Spoon]

Brilliant.

[Incandenza]

it's over

[Jah Womble]

Spain in general having a mare from twelve yards…

[San Bernardhinault]

Can Spain score any penalties?

[Lang Spoon]

Pish.

[Sean of the Shed]

Levels it up.

[Discordant Resonance]

Busquets will be most relieved!

[Lang Spoon]

Not pish

[Discordant Resonance]

Until Rodri misses!
