Croatia vs. Spain

[Frutos]

0-1 already through Morata.

Typical Spanish pass, pass, pass, tap-in goal.

 

[Beach Hut]

Allegedly a plot in place that Croatian fans are planning to attack the referee.

1-1

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Croatia are a great team to watch, one of the best teams in it.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Massive bang after Croatia scored. What a good idea, letting Cratian fans bring explosives into the ground.

Oh right, was not aware it was a timed coup de grace

Bruno comes on for Spain.

Note how long we have to wait for replays of key moments in this game. That's because the ball doesn't spend half the game out of play thanks to hoofs, over hit passes and speculative shots.

The technical quality in this game is very high and a pleasure to watch.

Justice.

 

[Frutos]

Croatia 2-1 Spain - great counter-attacking goal, very poor keeping from De Gea.

 

[Drebin]

If it stays like this it's Spain v Italy in the next round. On England's side of the draw.

Balls.

What's 'oh for f.... sake' in Italian?

The other is easy, time to back someone on that side of the draw

Agreed, quality on show throughout. Something I feel the tournament has been slightly lacking in so far.

Enjoyed that.

Fantastic match. Definitely the match of the tournament so far.

Croatia sometimes seem at their most dangerous when their backs are against the wall. A goal down after 7 minutes and without Modric and Mandzukic, but they were brilliant thereafter and really deserved their win.

 

[Durlston]

I've got chunky bets on France and Croatia. Very relieved they're in the opposite side of the draw.

 

[Easy 10]

Great game. Spain were curiously slack at the back all night though, they got away with it a couple of times overplaying it and dwelling on the ball in dangerous areas. Croatia pressed them high up the park and eventually got their rewards. Best game so far by a mile.
