Should the results stay as they are, wonder if any of the teams tomorrow would rather finish second than first so they play Italy and not Spain.

Ah, at least he's admitted Italy should have had a penalty for handball.

Busquet attempts to undress Eduardo there

I've seen other decisions of on/offside in this tournament that were like that be called against the attacking team.

A very brave shot from Navas there.

Andrews' best kick of the tournament.

I thought Navas was offside from the original chip through there.

A lame duck with Bilic (bill itch)! Come on, that's brilliant! Because he's leaving.

Fine

That Spanish goal was offside twice. The player originally offside but "not interfering" in the first place was then a) offside because he received the ball and then b) because when he received it he was offside - again - before walloping it into the net.

I mean it's all jolly good fun, but I mean if 5 officials are going to let that go, it might as well be It's A Knockout.

Croatia very unlucky with the draw really, they are much better than anything that qualified from Group A.

Yeah, I thought so too.

So, a Croatia goal now and Italy's out.

I thought he was going to pull out and keep possession.

Spain have been sloppy, casual, over confident and uninspired. Lucky to go through tonight.

Fields of Athenry again.

If it was in Dublin they'd have booed them off the pitch in all three matches.

It's all about living up to the great fans reputation on the big stage.

Nothing wrong with Spain per se, simply their attacking choices are making it much harder for them to score than it need be.
