How are Italy not up 3-0, yet?

 

How was that not at least a yellow for silva...

 

This ref is shit.

 

Shocking referee. Spanish players getting testy now screaming at him as usual.

Ramos also went for a sly little stamp when Parolo "fouled" him

 

Omg Lucas is on

 

dat miss

 

Lol Conte

 

I wish Iniesta had scored that purely for beauty standards

 

Conte gonna sub himself on mow. Great shot.

 

Poor Aduriz. Think it should have been a penalty when he was hit.

 

Why isn't Thiago playing?

 

What a fuckin save. First chance in so long comes from some bad defending.

 

Gwan Darmian you ledge. See ya soon Spain, won't be missed.

 

That switch was class

 

It would have to be Italy to defeat the best team ever. We better go on and win this damn thing now.

 

This isn't the best team ever.

lmao Pedro.

 

Deserved win for Italy. Should be an amazing game against Germany

 

Well I mean, the remnants of it.

 

Still not.

 

Then what is? I can't think of any team that comes close to 2008-12 Spain.

 

Brazil 58-70

 

Pedro is fucking shit. Directionless indecisive running, aimless crosses, and no end product. He should not even be in France, let alone the first team.

Shame to see Spain go but they were pretty hopeless. Italy through despite being rather boring. At least they're my work sweepstake team.

 

This sort of response always feels a bit hipster to me. Did you actually watch a lot of their games?

For me, that Spain side were the best that I've ever seen, but being only 23, I could never comment on the "best ever", as I'd be going purely off of highlight reels and secondhand stories.

 

Assuming that Del Bosque is canned, that's 2 years too late.

 

Eh, the 1958 team had like 3 players in common with the 1970 one, but I still think the Spanish team is far more impressive beating Germany, Neherlands, and Italy than Brazil beating Sweden, Czechoslovakia, and Italy.
