we win!!!!!!!

congrats to Spain .... Hala Espanyol!!!

another win after 88years not win agains Italy
next game.. russian... hope spain can beat them like before.. 4 goal ++

silva, senna, ramos, puyol and casillas really save the game tonight!!!

Hahah now for the semifinal against russia. At least we've beaten them before.
GG italians... time to sleep

Well done Casillas

Russia are a different team now to the one we faced in the 1st game. Ramos up against Arshavin

That's a tough one

But beating the Azzuris after the hell long of wait, bring on Hiddink ! We shall pass them to death

next game aragones should play xabi alonso... not iniesta .. he seems careless in control the ball..

casillas is great tonight. he went the right direction on every shot. great keeper.

Xabi playing in the wings? lol I don't think that will work. Cazorla should start the next game. Iniesta has been poor so far.

xavi on the wing.. xabi on the center

torres was average...so was villa.....the defence was solid.....silva ,casillas puyol , ramos and fabregas were outstanding.....xavi and iniesta were terrible............next game shud pair senna and xabi alonso........

---------------------------casillas----------------------------

ramos---------------puyol---------marchena-------capdevilla

fabregas---------senna----------xabi alonso---------silva-------

----------------------villa-----------torres------------------------

GG russians!!

I don't think that will work either
Just bench Xavi as well

Both xavi and iniesta slow down our attacks alot.

But cazorla hasn't been much influential after coming on, either. Why not play 3 forwards, since Villa drifts to left wing most of the time anyway.

Well, we can say that Ramos is finally hitting some form. And Fabregas too, if he starts.

Hahahah that's a good one. Playing a snail paced player as a winger. You by any chance steve mcclaren

nice casillas!!!!
superb tonight..

my prediction:

turkey vs spain

i just dont like ballack, dunno why, may be his lansi face

cassilas a hero... silva was superb man!! i'll bet a lot of europe manager wachting u dude...

Spain play moderately against a determine Italy side. On numerous occassion the Spanish find it difficult to break down a well organise Italian side. When the game went to penalty shoot out I would expect that the Italian to win it based on their history on penalty shoot out. Credit to the Spanish for digging deep and manage to prevail in this encounter.

Casillas was definitely man of the match as he made 2 crucial saves from Camoranesi as well from Di Natale. More importantly was his 2 saves in the penalty shoot out. Fabregas did well when he came on as well when he came on. Was involve in most of the Spanish attack as he is willingly to collect the ball and pass the ball to initiate their attack.

Ramos was once again poor at right back as most of the time gave possession deep on their own half. Same goes for Iniesta who had a poor game either flank as he was easily rob of possesion. Cazorla should come in against the Russian as he was more involve as he replaced Iniesta. I was puzzle with Aragones decision to take of Torres. Although Torres didnt have a good game but with his pace and scoring ability surely pose a bigger threat than Guiza. The introduction of Guiza didn't change much to the game and when he missed the spot kick it could so nearly cost them the game.
