Well I've still got Portugal to go

Yeah, it'll be a beautiful day for him.
Sorry.

He couldn't find the ball he was looking for, though

Lots of men crying!

 

[Bingoman]

Come on Switzerland

 

[moomoo]

Hurrah!!

 

[Steel Icarus]

A fucking Panenka. Brilliant

 

[Athos]

A fucking Panenka. Brilliant

That was stone cold.

He didn't concede any goals, though. So it's more a case of Where the Sheets Have No Stains.

Bono made each of those penalty takers look like a Lemon.

Bono showed more Desire.

he sure moved in Mysterious Ways.

He was positively Bad and should Walk On.

Not you too.

The keeper was a bit lucky with that first penalty. It came off the edge of the post.

Right, that's it, I'm done.

It's a Beautiful Day

It's a Beautiful Day

No it isn't

Can anyone remind me how many Maroc penalties were saved?

Uno.

I'd like to support Portugal, but just can't whilst that prick Ronaldo still plays for them.

Or perhaps not (tonight at least).

He does a lot a charity work

So did Jimmy Savile

One is a narcissist who's been accused of sex crimes. The other [insert punchline].

Good for Morocco. I’m sick of the sterile possession that is the norm in the majority of our matches.

If this results in the sacking of Luis Enrique, I will actually be quite chuffed with the result today.

Rape charities particularly.

 

[AverageJoe]

Rape charities particularly.

Oof.

Or does he really.

the novelty has worn off now. It's just dull. For all Spain's possession, Morocco looked more dangerous ( and exciting ) on their very rare breaks.

Exactly. And Spain have been hitting the same stumbling block regardless of whether the opponent was genuinely parking the bus or playing a more open and positive game. We got away with it in 2010 because the overall quality of the squad was superlative. Not anymore. Look at the likes of Portugal by comparison.

This is the problem - other teams aren't intimidated by it any more. You keep the ball if you want. If you won't risk losing it by trying something, we'll just sit in and wait. Whatever. Tbh Busquets was the worst example of that today. He never made an incisive pass. Always sideways. And they have no plan B. Williams, I suppose, and he was lively, but then they took him off.

Sorry.

Well done on getting the preferred headline of three daily papers
