Pretty lacklustre performance from Spain. They will have it hard in their quarter, whether it's France or England.

So is saying shit like this without knowing the rules of the game.
You should be careful yourself (see discussion about the penalty in the 1st half). Studs up is always a foul (you claimed otherwise).
Studs up might be penalised for dangerous intent anywhere else on the pitch, but if you know football at all, you know things work differently in and around the penalty box. Besides, Ramos took the ball CLEANLY. It was a risky, but good tackle.
Man, tell me your address I go buy you a rules book. You seem to have clearly no idea how the rules work.
Always a shitstorm with expert opinions on offside rulings and studsup shit when the man in the middle was reasonably consistent with the way he called it.
Would like to see France vs Italy again. Both playing some good football. Spain vs England wouldn't be too bad either, but I fear it'll be another barca vs chelsea, spain vs croatia....etc.

One can hope. I don't see them beating England, though.

good effort by Croatia . 1) Spain 2)Croatia would have been nice, oh well, cant have anything. This way the road for an Spain - Germany final is clear.

this spain can't beat france/england, del bosque is lost in space and they play without idea
Iniesta showing once again that he's the best player on the Spanish team, imo. Great decision making, passing and technique. Amazing player. Modric was great for Croatia as well. The two MVPs of the game for me.

thank you, his shoulder is in front of everyone, he is in offside, now my hate is stronger
Iniesta is not offside. He is given the ball. Yes, Navas is offside in the first situation, but he isn't affecting play. When he gets served by Iniseta it's a new situation and he is onside. Correct goal.
If anything, Iniesta's hand is in front of the other player. His centre of mass is in line with the defender, imo.
Wow, Spain were really lucky to win this game tonight! They saw a lot of the ball, as expected, and created a lot of chances, but failed to convert most of them. Glad to see them through to the quarter finals though as they are the best team in the competition on their day.
