Turkey v Spain

[Puff Daddy]

Spain out football you to death, but think this will be no turkey trot for Spain

Did Bilic say anything on ITV about the Croatia match?

[simon hammer]

Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass...like an elderly relative trying to play FIFA on the playstation who has only got the hang of the X button on the controller.

Pass, pass, pass, pass..."ffs Nan...press Y!"

Del Bosque's loyalty is a bit odd sometimes. Fabregas keeps starting despite the fact that him, Iniesta and Busquets didn't click as a 3 once in his time at Barcelona.

Turkey always underwhelm with the players they have, a bit like a worse Belgium.

This match isn't going to inspire long poems on the beauty of the game. There's been a lot of bumbling and fumbling thus far.

Thinking about this tournament thus far and I can't recall a stand out performance from a striker. No wonder Batman and Lacazette cost so much.

Turkey are far more together as a team than Belgium are

What a shock, they put a proper cross in and they score a goal. (as they did in the 1st game) all this tiki-taka is so over rated.

Morata anytime, Spain win, 7/4.

[wolf359]

2-0 now. good goal to be fair. But a terrible defensive header.

Did Tony Pulis try and tell Spain how to play football?

3 titles in a row playing to their strengths. Does playing it about in midfield not draw more players out and create room on the wings for crosses?

[il_martello_di_genovesi]

Look like the team to beat tbh.

I would say only Spain and England have dominated their 2 matches so far...

Regardless of what people say about it, their style has won them tournaments, and for me I enjoy watching it.

[fjthegrey]

Nolito looks the absolute nuts to me. Saw him play a couple of times last season and he was disappointing each time, but tonight I can see what the hype has been about. What's he been doing all his career?

Real class.

They spent 89 minutes messing about in the 1st game, cross and goal, this game cross and goal. Just saying.

[il_martello_di_genovesi]

They spent 89 minutes trying to break down a tough Czech Republic defence. They did put other crosses and chances into the box, only for Morata, Aduriz and Alba etc to waste them.

3-0...easy for Spain.

[warp]

offside (not the last pass)

Let's not pretend that was the first cross they put in that game and that every cross for them would result in a goal then.

Did Tony Pulis try and tell Spain how to play football?

Yes.
When asked what his half-time motivational speech would be to Turkey, replied
"Well Turkey have basically given up"
Didn't answer the question at all.

[fmgod]

Turkey look like they have lost the battle off the pitch before they even got on it, look at war to me off the field, no one cares,
