Hum started praising the Spanish neighbours and they already started with their Ole smugness.
On a serious note this Yamal kid is different.

Day 7 | Slovenia vs Serbia | Denmark vs England | Spain vs Italy

I don't think that I shared someone else's opinion. So you are correct.
They should be up 3-0 at least. They've been sensational
Not sure about Portugal. Wasn't at all impressed by them yesterday.
I think they get dumped out by the first half decent side they meet.
It does feel a bit unfair this past decade or so how much success Spain has had in unearthing amazing talent.
Yeah, he's exhausted out there. No reason manager is leaving him on.
Very impressed by Spain.
Scammaca is closer to a model than a footballer
Spain won the Euros playing Fabregas up front. They'll be fine.
Yeah, Nico Williams and Yamal are the game changers for them. Direct wingers with pace who just run at their fullbacks and make things happen, while their midfield is perfectly balanced to control games on and off the ball
Who's better. Rooney at 16 or Yamal?
Chiesa's been really quiet but still would have left him on as a threat on the break.
Spaletti what a nutter
Yamal for sure.
If Spain had a more competent striker than Morata...
It makes for a far better spectacle. Tiki-Taka was an incredible demonstration of technique, football intelligence and dominance but it was usually a pretty bloodless suffocation that made for dry viewing.
Yes, Joselu will be a star of the future.
teams are afraid to play against Spain much like teams are afraid to open up against City
Knockout football is unpredictable but so far Spain has already played 2 difficult matches, but it’s not nonsense to say those are the 3 main favourites at the moment.
Were the Italians on the piss last night? They are so fecking slow
These wounds are still fresh
Witty. Clearly I was emphasising the subjective nature of your post, which I felt necessary given the attempt at framing it as objective or factual.
We can just agree to disagree. Or just disagree. Either way, it’s run its course. We don’t see eye to eye on this issue. I respected your opinion, whilst not sharing it. Although the last comment that Barella being miles behind Verratti was generous to Barella, I found to be ridiculous hyperbole.
Again...so there's no one else in the Italy squad with pace other than Chiesa and Dimarco? Not upcoming or existing talents?
Morata is terrible surely Spain can do better than him.
Barcelona just casually going from Messi to Yamal who somehow can play like that at 16. Fecking Barca.
When have they ever been fast? Why do you think they keep employing Lukaku.
Italy is so incredibly static tonight. Spain is very strong but with how static Italy is they hardly even need to press before they recover the ball.
What I like about this Spain team is that they often go long, something they didn't do in the early 10s. They sometimes bypass the midfield and do a long ball to Williams or Yamal, keeps teams guessing and gives them an edge.
Just getting played off the park. Spain are really on it. They need a tactical adjustment.
Game like today and Fratesi and Scamacca look woefully ill equipped at this level,
Damn so unlucky
This Williams 
Williams deserved a goal there

Oi, the next manager is definitely bringing it homeIt's one of those sounds worse than it actually is though. He's had 4 games to work with Mainoo and Wharton - they weren't real options in November. It's mismanagement that he's trying TAA in there 2 games in a row after the first was already an unmitigated disaster. That he still doesn't have a complete picture of his team 2 games into the Euros, but there are mitigating circumstances and still time to fix things. If not, the next guy will get the chance to fail with England
Can we exchange Rashford for Nico Williams?
Feels inevitable that Italy will equalise after all these missed chances.
Massive Pedri. What a game
Nico Williams vs Di Lorenzo reminds me of Doku vs Di Lorenzo at Euro2020. It's no match.
Spain are going to embarrass a team this Euros. Hopefully it's not us.
Helps having 2 fast and technical quality wingers.
Is this Nico Williams normal level?
I have only seen him 3 or 4 times so far and he never impressed me but today he is absolutely great.
