Come on Spain. Beat those Swiss bastards. Sorry but it's got to the stage where I can't shout for underdogs in case it gets even easier for England.

I don't think Spain are good enough to beat England. I think only Italy, Belgium (full strength) and maybe Denmark would be able to take them out.

Although I hope England take their eye off the ball, and it's Ukraine who put them out. Stranger things have happened.

Some terrible penalties in that shoot out. Spain hanging on like a thread in this competition.

Some difference in the performance of the Spanish keeper in that shootout, than the scarecrow when he was in goal.

Agreed on today's performance. But I think only Spain and Italy would be streetwise enough to handle the pressure of a final in Wembley.

Belgium have had Englands measure in a fair few matches recently. Thats if they get past Italy...

Italy are the team for the big game tho. Belgium, like England, are bottlers

Wasn't much wrong with that first half! Great game so far.

Italy are like that 1970's Brazil team, on speed.

So good technically, a few levels over anything else in this tournament

Silly pen to give Belgium a chance.

It was but v soft. Can't imagine that getting a peno in any EC or WC in the past.

The shoving motion even though soft made the decision for the ref and VAR. Didn't need to do it. Hope this Italy team go all the way. Be a f**king disaster if Spain beat them as England would win the final (let's hope they don't get that far).
