Game on then

 

[GreiginFife]

Blimey, keeper gave him the corner there, didn't close the space quick enough.

Not sure he expected the ball to get through to Morata. I didn't (but we have established I know feck all).

 

[GreiginFife]

Immobile's goal record for Italy is poor. Not just the ratio but look up who he has scored against.

I may be extra bitter because I stupidly put him in my fantasy team thinking he had to come good at some stage as the rest of the team is so good. It was a decision that was equivalent to Homer consistently betting against the Harlem Globetrotters as "they had to lose at some point" ?

High quality reference

What do I know?

Grrreat finish!!!

Thought he was Spanish...

 

[Orikoru]

Imagine being De Gea, watching this Simon bloke and thinking "am I really worse than this guy?? What the hell happened to my life?"

Think it hit him and the keeper was thrown by the ricochet

To be fair I'm with your original point. Morata is poor on this stage. Scoring one goal doesn't change that (I'm well aware he could score the winner now and I'll end up looking a plank ?)

Italy look knackered.

 

[BubbaP]

Same ref team today did England v Ukraine. They should do the final I think.

I've watched it again, I'd expect Pickford to have spotted the 1-2 and be at the strikers feet as he's about to shoot.
Maybe I'm being too harsh mind ?

They are going to look to have a lie down at every opportunity..

 

[harpo_72]

I think that was red myself

 

[Liverbirdie]

Great 2nd, Morata, quality finish again.

 

[fundy]

Olmo been superb for Spain

 

[ColchesterFC]

With how good Donnarumma has been for Italy in this tournament and how bad Simon has been for Spain are we all expecting Simon to be the hero if this goes to penalties?

That would be the irony of football

 

[BubbaP]

Shame it's going to penalties. Has been a good game & have been trying not to let Murphy spoil it (talked a lot of gash IMO)
