big brother eviction night ?

ah sorry trooping the colour highlights

Italy 2 England 0

Balotelli and a Jones OG

big brother eviction night ?

I don't get why Englanders are always so victim of their own pressure.

0-0 written all over it.

there will be goals

Spain vs holland was a classic beginning of tournament shocker. Holland were better than people gave them credit for, Spain were out of sorts. Rvp's goal before half time was a belter, gave them some confidence and a toehold in the game.

Wondering what del bosque does now, xavi didn't have much of an influence, busquets was niggly, and I don't think taking off alonso was a good idea.
Does he make changes or put it down to a bad performance and have faith in the players that have won so much. Spain need to win the next game against chile or they're fucked...

Thanks, Corny Townsend...

I'd have a word with your news agent if the paper boy cant get your Guardian to yo before midday.

He's got to find a new team, after the racists got turned over

Been riding my bike, something that TS doesn't understand...

And since most of the comments on this thread seemed to consist of "fuck the spaniards" or "you're shit ha ha", thought there was space for a more considered appraisal.

Looking forward to England Italy tonight. No matter the result I will be stuffed full with good Italian cooking...

Still waiting for a considered appraisal.

Spain got dicked because of raw pace and van persie. Taking Alonso off could be seen as the cause of the problems from my sofa. They still have a chance.

Really?

Spain aren't shit. They've achieved something that no one else in Europe has.

I suppose we could give a considered appraisal of the game but then 'Spain were shit' doesn't seem such a poor summary. I bet del bosque's appraisal of the game wasn't so far off that. As for laughing at Spain's thrashing I think every football fan worth their salt should take the piss out of opposition pain. We have praised them enough over the last ten years now forgive us plebs for ripping in to them.

Yep. You always kick when teams are down as you never know when they are going to get back up

There won't be a European team who achieve what they have.
