    Aye they don’t appear to have a weakness

    IMO it’s the best football i’ve watched since Hansi Flicks Bayern.

    As good as they are they need the second.

    Can see their tiring a bit, a wee bit of slackness with passing

    Italy should have scored a couple.of mins sgo

    Embarrassing * from Carvajal there. Italy have been brutal for diving as well.

    If you are going to miss chances do it in a winning group match. Spain can go up another level, they will score more freely in the knock outs.

    Massively impressed by Spain. Need to be more clinical but they play some outstanding stuff. Made Italy look like mugs.

    They’re short of a striker IMO, however, they’ve achieved loads with a false 9 before so…

    They narrowly beat Denmark in the semis last time and just drew with them and are losing their mind beat in mind they are qualified with that point like the pundits even forgetting that Denmark are good side

    Spain are the dog's bollocks man, so good to watch. Love the move away from tiki-taka towards more aggressive football, getting it wide and attacking relentlessly while still controlling the middle of the park.

    Definitely the best side so far.

    Spain looked the real deal tonight. Got a good mix of youth and experience in the team as well. The scoreline flattered Italy because it really should have been 3 or 4. That was the best anyone has looked in the competition though, especially given the opposition.

    Difference between the 2 groups is if a miracle happens and we win our group we qualify direct to WC26 but if England wins theirs they only get to nations league play offs.

    I think that Germany have been the overall most impressive side so far. And im sure they will win it. Spain looks fluid but very eady to hit on the counter which a side like germany will punish unlike Italy.

    I actually like the look of Portugal. I don't know the players name but that black guy on the left wing looked absoloutely devastating. Can see them going very far.

    Germany and Spain so far look the most likely to win the whole thing.

    France, Holland, Portugal with a decent shout.

    Di Lorenzo had possibly the worst individual performance in an Italy shirt you'll ever see.
