Both teams deserve the result 1-1,though Italy was little better.Spain had some serious chances of scoring but their finishing was bad .

there were some good and bad replacements,the good were Natale(Italy) and Navas(Spain)

the worst was Torres ,he had 4 good chances ,the first 3, I was like what is he thinking of,so slow and weak hits.

there were also a deserved bunch of yellow cards,Italians were little aggressive also Spanish,but they're Mediterranean,and we Mediterranean have hot blood and have good bunch of nerves.It's also football,no cold blood in it.

one sweet side was the presence of Spanish royals,Princess Laetizia was cheering on them as any ordinary person,moving and reacting,also her husband Prince Philllip was doing the same as her.

I didn't expect that we (Croatia) will win game against Ireland. Croatia played terribly last few years. We won only one important game (Turkey) from Euro 2008. Now, who knows. We allways play good against Italy and in mostly case we win.

Croatian beauty for croatian win.

Don't worry about our next match. Probably, it will be tie. In the last round you will smash Ireland and Croatia will lose from Spain. Spain and Italy in QF.

Your performance against Spain was brilliant. Which team will you support if/when Italy plays against Germany?

well,I'm little worried,Italy disappoints me lots of times,Croatia did surprised me before with strong playing,so let's wait.

as for your q about which team I would support,Germany or Italy,that's so difficult for me,I'm supposed to be with Italy ,but my heart will be with Germany.at the end,Italy.

Intriguing game between Italy and Spain, great to see Cassano looking so well after his recent health problems.

 

A deserved win for Croatia too. If there's a striker in European football on a richer vein of form than Jelavic, I haven't seen him. Why Robbie Keane continues to play such a prominent role for Ireland when he's so obviously past his best is such a logic-buster. Much like Roy Hodgson, Trappatoni has a limited pool of players to pick from, but Shane Long's pace and running would surely have tested the shaky Corluka a lot more than Keane and the hard-working but non-scoring Doyle. Also, as evidenced by Steve Bruce's misguided early-season tactics for Sunderland in 2011, John O'Shea can't play at right full-back for toffee.

 

And so attention turns to the England-France game. Gulp!

I doubt anyone's pulse would have been set racing by England's exploits, but it was certainly a disciplined, solid performance, and a point against the highly fancied French is not to be sniffed at. That'll do nicely for starters. :yes:

England did well all things considered. I would have liked to have seen Milner and Young swap positions during the second half for a little bit more impetus but otherwise everything was pretty solid, more so before Parker went off knackered. Be interesting to see how Sweden change things up for the next game, hopefully England can get a stranglehold on possession and really get at what looked a fairly so-so defence (sorry Olof, I still love you).

France 1-1 England

I only watched first 45 ms,I had some committments and was so upset to not watch the other half

so I can only tell about the first half,France was better than England minus some minutes,I only noticed England on ms 14 and 34,the match was open and didn't stop at all,also England was stronger than I used to see it in championships.

there were some big English names Cole ,Shearer but didn't do anything,

France had lots of new faces to me ,Nasri I think one of new faces to me,I only knew Ribeiri

I can't judge more but would like someone to tell me what happened in the second half if possible

was it France or England the ruler?
