Well Spanish FA prolly thought Del Bosque is a good coach because his players won two titles.

Gratz, but once Italy stopped going forwards they looked way more vulnerable.
Germany vs Italy should be amazing.

What are people's thoughts on England vs Iceland? I mean logically England should win but they've proven to be quite vulnerable to small teams

Iceland is a weak team. They got a lucky point vs Portugal, lucky win vs Austria. If England doesn't destroy them I congratulate France on semifinal appearance.

I don't think he is bad coach. I think he is too conservative and try to play the football of the time of Xavi, Xabi, etc. but without them and we play a toothless football and we can't even hold possesion. It does not work.

Sad to see what could be the last of Iniesta, Cesc and Ramos. At least this golden team peaked so high and won every single thing possible. GG Espana

I cant see Germany winning Italy tbh. Italy def >>Germany while Germany attack is slightly better than the Italians. Neuer need to have a once in a 4 years performance to keep a clean sheet

England has surely better technique and everything football related. But Iceland can give their hearts into the match, so it could be a good match.

Me neither. Italy made Belgium and Spain look like Austria.
Germany couldn't even score more than one goal vs North Ireland or any goal vs Poland.

The talent level isnt there anymore. Coach could have done whatever he wanted, Spain play a highly technical style. Pound for Pound Italy were better defensively than Spains ability going forward

italy / germany are gonna demonstrate once again that defense wins tournament and it will always be like that

Actually I'd say we have a star. He has been quiet this tournament because he has had to do a lot of work to get to this game, but today he is playing against everyone he knows very well. I think he will play very good today. Also you are forgetting about the world class grandpa we have on our bench who i'm sure is capable of some 90th minute magic!

Except thats pretty 50 50 historically if you go across all the Euros and the WC winners so you can win tournaments doing both.
Also this Germany is hardly defensive. Its solid defensively but they dont rely on it.
