While Italy seems like the superior team, I also got the feeling it could be a very close match. Spain will likely have a lot of ball possession and will be a different team to beat. I think Italy will win though, but it could be a tie after the regular 90(+6) minutes.

I'm wondering how Spain is going to do with possession against this Italian side. Feel like they'll keep possession over Italy but lose by 2

Just had a thought as to how hilarious it would be if England made it to the finals and didn't concede a goal all tourney just to lose in penalties

Morata left out, it's smart move with a mobil forward against the Italian world class central defense

I am rooting for Italy because we played so well and lost in OT so we could say "hey we lost against the best team in europe!"

Possession by Spain looks solid, not sure if Italy can handle defending this way for 90 minutes straight

Spain seems to be dominating the midfield, which is quite impressive given Italy's midfield.

Spain look like they will end up with 70% possession and no goals.

Pedri seems to be the next superstar from Barca (bright light for them), the best central mid at euros and only 18 or 19.

Edit where is Locatelli gone miss him for Italy

Cannot believe how well Pedri is playing. He literally makes no mistakes. He looks like the next Iniesta.

I just tune in to see a pretty clear yellow card for Spain and watch the umpire not touch his pocket and immediately knew they let Brych on the field again...

The fact that he's here for a semi-finals of a big tournament is beyond me, especially after that Belgium-Portugal game.

I really like how Italy is attempting to play, but damn, Spain's midfield is just so quality, they're able to keep possession even with Italy pressuring.

This is also because the changed the attacking players so they drop more in to the field and is not so much in the area. Spain could really use a midfielder that can run into goal area and make goals like there coach used to do. Think they will bring in Morata later when Italy is tired to score

I think Schmeichel just won the pre-game banter
