Hmmm half sign me up... Sick of Spain, I've gone from a Spanish sympathiser to a hater. Taking tiki-taka and sh*tting all over it. Such a bore and a waste of talent.

Calling these guys a Messi-less Barca is insulting. In some ways id like them to lose so they change and start playing differently and nicely again, but part of me still wants them to win so players I like win a trophy.

Either way... They'll probably win with some scrappy 1-0.

(hopefully, I jinx myself and they produce a virtuouso attacking performance)

Looks like the Italians are in for a long night, their only hope is to play for penalties.

Yeah they sure didn't trouble them at all in the group stages eh. And Spain has been playing absolute fantastic f*cking football this tournament.

Ouf, the amount of sarcasm in this post is too damn high.

Some Spanish supporters are either in denial of Italy's strength or have selective amnesia.

+1

But if Del Bosque had any sense at all and would start Llorente and Pedro, IMO Villas absent and Torres poor form wouldnt be a problem

The same was said before the group stages. The same was said before any of Italy's games actually, especially vs the Germans. And you are living in denial.
