    Shaping up nicely after the second round of fixtures. Nothing changed - would still be shocked if it's not one of Spain, Germany or Portugal who win it. Not impressed with either England or France, some of the wee teams have been absolutely brilliant.

    I think Portugal. Just the right amount of youth peaking with top class experience still close enough to the top of their game aswel.

    Thought Spain would win it beforehand and nothings changed. Pedri, Yamal, Williams and Rodri are all quality, and their defence is pretty solid. Only one I thought might have been a weaker link was Curcurella but he was really good the other night.

    Compare Ronaldo with Teirney, is it genetics or is it more to do with how much work Ronaldo does in the gym?

    Guy is nearly 40 and he looks like he has another 5 years in him.

    Croatia Italy should be good..both teams have to go for it.

    I thought Italy were pretty good, they just came up against a fantastic Spain performance.

    Italy to win is my uneducated guess.

    Italy can take a draw. The funny thing is, Croatia are playing without a true striker, even though we have to win. If Spalletti * this up, he'll be ridiculed.

    Are Croatia an aging team now?

    Pretty clinical from Spain there, was the only slight criticism of them the other night but made no mistake there.

    Croatia look weak in defence. Poor marking a few times now.

    Italy should have scored there.

    Spain looking good. Just a bit wasteful in front if goal again.

    The Italians are just far too good. It’s engrained in their DNA. By Italian standards, this looks like an average squad they have but the key is they are the sum of their parts.

    Would be foolish to rule them out winning the whole tournament

    Spain have made 10 changes for their game the night and you'd barely know it. Some squad man.
