Italy look AB-esque. Reckon they will go far in this tournament.

So, smashed in a semi with their heads in the clouds.

Italy do very well when they are more Bok-esque.

Better luck next time bro.

Spain were the better team over the 90 mins but couldn't convert chances into goals.

That was a cool penalty by Jorginho.

Yep

Could have strolled home in regulation but squandered great chances

@bovidae While not completely comparable, Italy and their fast counter attack, not allowing defenses to set, is the trend in Ice Hockey over here. I know a different game but it makes sense to me. Spain, spent too much time knocking the ball around for what? Why risk a penalty shoot out?

Goal hangers tend to get decried compared with free flowing midfield and forward players, but by god did Spain need a Gary Lineker last night

Bovidae

Spain's setup with no recognised no.9 did actually confuse the Italian defence but hindered their ability to score themselves.

Well the time honoured tradition in tournament play is to cheer for the team which put your team out.

Seems a little self-serving when you think about it, to say 'we' lost to the eventual winners or finalists regardless at what stage 'they' won and how badly 'they' beat 'us'.

So to that end I'll be cheering for England tonight.

Another 4-0 victory would be excellent, but a ding dong 5-4 result to England would be better.

Just another 5 English goals and 3 danish ones required.

1-1. Denmark the better side. England rather nervous and making a lot of errors.

Seems a pretty even game to me. Both sides with their moments.

A goal each would seem to indicate that, yes.

England by far the better side. Unlucky to be in extra time

I’d say marginally the better side. It’s been a very even game. Rate Schmeichel over Pickford.
