Not a good result for Italy
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:53 (fourteen years ago)
Presuming Spain beat Ireland, Spain and Croatia can 2-2 Italy out of the tournament Denmark v Sweden style.

Not an entirely unexpected result either.

Is this right? If all 3 end on 5pts with none of them recording victories against the other then I thought it went to group g diff not head to head g diff? In which case it would depend on Italy's scoreline vs Ireland.
― pandemic, Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:42 (fourteen years ago)
always enjoy the panning along & up & down the spanish team
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:44 (fourteen years ago)
oh it is goal diff btw the tied teams so that is correct
― pandemic, Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:46 (fourteen years ago)

― Jibe, Thursday, 14 June 2012 18:47 (fourteen years ago)

ireland hanging on by bits of blu-tac right now. irish possession has been so wasteful too.
― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:11 (fourteen years ago)
Keane coming back 40 yards to collect from the full back then pass to the keeper. What is the point?
(p sure I've made that exact post before)

― Steve Youngblood (dan m), Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:12 (fourteen years ago)
Given looks like he did all year for Villa. Sadly.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:13 (fourteen years ago)
either that or a gk whose best feature was his reflexes is done at 36
easy for a shit gk to hide behind a terrible terrible team like villa (see also paul robinson)

It looked very inviting
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:25 (fourteen years ago)

Piqué made his debut for Manchester United in October 2004, as a late replacement for John O'Shea in a 3–0 League Cup victory at Crewe Alexandra as a centre back.
I like this, you could sense the mantle passing that night
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:28 (fourteen years ago)
xp well apart from Torres' second chance early on Spain have tried to Arsenal it into the net somewhat
― jacob von logflume (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:29 (fourteen years ago)
because it's Spain, they have been scoring 1 goal per match for how many matches in a row now (EC/WC)
expect them to break the spell this match though
― Ludo, Thursday, 14 June 2012 19:33 (fourteen years ago)
6 if they don't score again tonight
