Pretty meh game, Italy 1 shot all half? I normally think this ref is quite good, he's been weak as **** though, constantly blowing his whistle.

Spain troubling Italy , can they find that cutting edge?
You would expect Italy to start going forward with more purpose

Decent game yes it's 0-0, but both sides are playing some good stuff, the only thing lacking from both is the killer touch, especially by Spain who on possession and chances created probably should be ahead.

This ref is top class isn't he, and if he doesn't get the final I'll be surprised.

No, a goal will come.

If we do beat Denmark, we'll have our work cut out to even survive against either of these two.

Morata has some world class wet look gel!!

Do they send him up for corners to try and reflect the spotlights into the keepers eye to blind him???

I like Chiellini but he isn’t a guy who may relish playing our quick attacking midfielders **

** yes, I know I’m getting ahead of myself but what’s the point not doing?

No, this 2nd half is what I was expecting, brilliant game now. That first half Italy had 1 shot at goal from the left back, warmed into some game though

On the back of today's game I'd rather us play Italy. I think Spain will probe England too much and keep the ball far too easily against us. Looking good that these teams are going to extra time though. Must be tough for the older players now.

He's been excellent. From the get go he made sure he wasn't going to fall for the cheating. I hope premier league referees take note.

Why do Spanish players hold their ear/face when they fall over and no part of an Italians body been anywhere near 🤔...

Well I got the ET part right anyway, and although England still have to play, that can't do the winner of the other semi final any harm.

2 excellent finishes for the goals, but Spain do miss some sitters don't they.

The final is still 5 days off and this is the first semi final, don’t think an extra 30 mins will make much difference, especially as only just over half will have played the full 120 mins.
