Italy Vs Spain (Tues)

[Nalis]

Olmo is such a pest... I love it.

[Guest ttfn]

Hard to believe Olmo was playing in Croatia 18 months ago.

[foxes_rule1978]

Spain much better, should be winning this 

[lnkstern]

Spain has all the momentum right now.

[StanSP]

Italy are absolutely blowing. Spain look quite fresh and energetic still.

People going on already how these players will be tired when Enhland play them in the final!!!

FFS.

They will have an extra day to recover.

They are professionals.

Really think fatigue is gonna let them stop winning this once theyve got this far...jesus...

It's a myth - if a team plays in extra time or they play a day later so have a shorter break. It all boils down to how good you are as a football team. Both of these sides look very good

[FoxesWalk]

This Spain team is like a hunter with exceptional tracking skills, but their only weapon to get the job done is a butter knife 

[Finnegan]

Italy paying the price for their pressing game over the course of the tournament. 

 

Really hard to sustain that style of football for a whole tournament. 

[Criggers]

If fatigue was a myth, they wouldn’t be blowing out their arse right now would they.

Exactly.

 

[Fox in the North]

Italy also paying the price for going all out to protect the lead. Now it’s 1-1 they don’t have any outlet for their counter attacking.

That being said, watch them score a wonderful counterattacking goal any minute.

Nah mate Rothley Imps  

I played in goal for St Andrew's, Oadby boys club, Birstall FC among others. Then I got called up for England... Oh,  I think that was some dream I had back in 1970

I still wouldn't mess to be fair.

 

[Parafox]

I wonder what it feels like as a referee to be part of a game like this

The false argument is about the next game - just because they played extra time does not mean they will be tired in the next game

[Finnegan]

All the penalties Spain have missed recently, absolutely nailed on they'll win a shoot out without missing. 

[Guest StevieLynex]

If it goes to penalties, Italy will win - their keeper will save at least three, and Spain's keeper is woeful

[Parafox]

Looks like the pitch is relapsing to its initial issues

Dont mean you'll be too tired to keep going fridge tomorrow  night does it???

How many matches did we have to wait until we won one?

[Parafox]

Here we go

This ref definitely finishes his working day exactly to the minute.
