Yeah, they are definitely going to win this one. I've not been impressed with the Spanish defending at all

That was dumb by keeper if Italy was just a bit more decisive he would have paid the price.

The last few minutes have been pure chaos, kinda surprised a brawl hasn't broken out

Crazy they didn't even get a shot off with the keeper so out of position. Both teams have squandered really good opportunities so far.

This match is kind of the Diving Classico.

The two nations whose players started the international trend of diving and who do it better than anyone else

Olmo with an early great one. I look forward to Busquets having one and Veratti as well.

Masterclass.

I truly believe this is why there hasn't been more outrage about the 2002 World Cup scandal involving the South Koreans. Every minute a different Spaniard or Italian acting as if he's been shot or stabbed, only to get up seconds later. It's as comical as professional wrestling at times.

False 9 was a really smart move by Enrique. They were able to nullify Jorginho who is having a great tournament. Italy started hitting those balls early to the wide players and that got them some space because Spain is playing super narrow. Italians will try to get Emerson forward more so Insigne can keep tucking in. They're really missing Spinazzola

It needed to happen against Northern European teams.

Also the high press helps tremendously. And Busquets is a free man and is playing very well and Italy don't have an answer to stretch him in particular.

Really surprised that Insigne was caught from behind by Laporte on that near breakaway
