Oof ooof

[TexArcher 37978]

PKs are really hard.  Scare you to death.

[PittsburghTiger 6190]

Powerful shot

[InkaUtexas 25986]

HOLY SHIT.  

[InkaUtexas 25986]

Great shot. 

[kingkoopa6 8369]

damn.. noice! CB slots it with ease

[Captain Ron 12883]

Well after a bad opening round, this has gotten better. Good kicks all around

[Captain Ron 12883]

UNTIL THEN!!

[kingkoopa6 8369]

oh wow.. sucks for Morata 

[Captain Ron 12883]

For the win ...

[PittsburghTiger 6190]

Terrible shot

[TexArcher 37978]

What a terrible PK from Morata.  No deception at all, no power, just awful.

[The Maestro 758]

Not good Morata, not good

Awwww.....

Well dammit, not the 4-1 Italian blowout I was promised.  Spain impressed playing this tight to a PK loss.  Rough stuff.  Congrats Italy. 

[Captain Ron 12883]

So all of that talk (all of 1 person) Spain winning this all, not so much.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Jorgi has balls of steel.  

[WBT 20616]

Twellerman called that one right.  Simon couldn't hold his ground.

[RamjetFDO 10577]

FORZA ITALIA!!

FORZA AZZURRI!

 

 

(it's gonna suck when I have to choose between Eng-ger-land and Italy, if that's the matchup)

[InkaUtexas 25986]

Damn what a match. Congrats to the Azzure. 

[Captain Ron 12883]

Bad for Chelsea, then good for Chelsea.

[WBT 20616]

Damn, I was cheering for Spain but it was a good game.  It feels like this was the final.

[PittsburghTiger 6190]

Good fun

[midtown 3346]

Who can we blame for these slow rolling PKs?   what happened to being a freaking man and smashing the ball into a corner?   Fuck you Bruno

Hey, were those guys dressed like Chef Boyardee?

 

 

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Very entertaining match. The Iberian strategy of not beating anyone in regular time finally fails, so for Spain, it's:

Chelsea sold Morata for 60m.  Both are good for Chelsea.

Look forward to see how this current Spanish group matures and progress (or not?) in future tournaments. 

[YChang 3453]

Well, I don't feel too bad for Morata... his esposa

Definitely shades of the 2006 WC here withy the SF and F flipped

2008-2012 Spain were sooo fucking good.

I enjoyed watching Spain getting knocked out of the 2009 Confederations Cup.

 I did NOT enjoy watching Spain get away with tackling Arjen Robben on a breakaway and getting off without so much as a whistle for what deserved to be a straight red card in the 2010 WC final.

[Jive Turkey 12617]

Felix Brych was a stud.  when Italy realized he wasn't having any of their flopping and diving, they started playing like men and stopped with all the play-acting.

I called 4-1 I admit it. And I didn’t realize how much Spinazzola mean to Italy.

That said, I still got the winner right.

Yes, some people with family from Spain hoped and picked Spain to win.  What an utter and complete break from international soccer norms.  I didn't think the Longhorns would beat Oklahoma last year, but I "predicted" they would.  it's what happens when you're emotionally and physically tied to a team and want the other side to die in a river.   

Having said that---I hope Italy beats the bag outta England.  But hey, if Denmark advances---I think you gotta pull for the 'dog.

You mean the final where Holland should have been down to 10 men after this?

Shit happens. Go look at Luis Enrique in the 1994 WC against Italy for a lack of a red card.

That’s not undercutting a man going for a header. I don’t see a problem.

YES!!

This one!!

The karate kick was in anticipation of all of the diving that the gallegos would do over the the next 100+ minutes.

LoL c'mon, man, Robben set the gold standard for diving that entire tournament, and you're talking to someone who sees him as the ideal winger.

You're in the wrong thread, btw. Better be watching your Argies!

That is a trend that needs to die. I mentioned it also in the last round.  It’s dumb.

[Napoleon 8689]

This kid has a 19 minute video of PREGAME & GAME FOOTAGE of Italy vs Spain.

I started watching in the second half, I didn't need all of the pregame & first half, but holy shit the fan reactions in the stadium and the predictions of those around him are pretty fucking awesome.

 

I will probably repost this at the top of the next page so that it doesn't get lost in the fray.

Kasper Schmeichel one more time asking if "IT" has ever been home.
