What is this reading off a card before the semi final? Just pure UEFA propaganda. They say they are doing this respect diversity campaign but the fact is that they give out more in fines for sponsorship wrongdoings than racist chanting. It has been proven at this tournament

Nando love the tactics

I thought about that myself but I wanna fight till it is mathematically impossible for me to stay up. Then the exotic formations will come out

Well there's a big to Negredo..... I wonder how Llorente feels.

I'll be honest, I don't think any of the Spanish forwards can do it at the highest level. Llorente and Negredo are alright but not world class for me, Torres is horribly out of form.

Spain are sooo boring to watch lol. Plus they just moan to the ref all the time. Really I struggle to watch them sometimes and I watch Norwich every week

I'm not sure, I won't be able to say whether they can do it or not until I've seen Llorente but Negredo does seem to do very little at international level. Some players do little and score, some don't.

To be fair to Portugal, their midfield is holding up much better than I thought.

Anyone know when the transfer window opens? Is it Sunday/Monday?

1st of July sooooo Sunday I believe TSC

Cheers Olly. Shinji!!!! Can't wait.

Out of everyone that's signed so far, who are we looking forward to seeing? I'm saying Podolski.

Hazard for me TSC, just to see if the hype was worth it.

I'm looking forward to seeing Hazard to be fair. Wanna see what the hype is about tbh

And of course anyone Norwich signs

Hazard to flop

I am looking forward to seeing him. And if you lot sign Hulk then I want to see him too but for the wrong reason.

To be fair I am looking forward to seeing Kagawa at United. In fact I look forward to seeing all new players and how they settle in

I don't understand Del Busque why not put Llorente or Torres on there is no one sitting in front of the Portuguese defence they'll be enjoy that.

Giroud.....filling RVP's boots. Hopefully M'Vila goes to Arsenal (looking less likely today) and then I will have the spine of my team as Arsenal, and with two Juve players with side.

Hazard won't flop, I watch quite a bit of Ligue 1 and he was quality... Hulk if he comes will set the prem alight mark my words

Kagawa I'm not sure on, he's evidently a great player just not sure where he fits into how Utd play

But then you won't win the league. Or anything.

Can't see how that front 3 will work. Podolski and RVP are both left footed and Giroud is not a winger. Giroud is an odd one; Wenger may start playing like Stoke now.

That's the beauty of Spain. No one sits in midfield, all their midfielders dart in and around between the midfield and defence, causing problems, no one knows who to mark and that leads to gaps and goals.

This is all over the internet. I wanna see it happen for two reasons:
1. Cos RVP will go if he signs
2. Bull will cry for selling him for £4.4 million

Well, knowing how scrooge like Wenger is with the purse strings, I doubt they have spent 12m on a sub.

Yeah I definitely think he'll start, I just don't see him in a front 3 with RVP and Podolski.

How awful has the ref been tonight?

About as crap as all the refs in this tournament TSC mate. The standard is just abysmal

Except Howard Webb of course!!

Right, I'm off. Getting glowered at.

Del Bosque has made a blunder here.

He has bought Pedro and Navas on as wingers. But has no striker, so when they beat there FB (as they are) they have no one in the box. Poor management

I was about to post the same thing Olly haha :P

It's a strange one

Your best penalty taker should never go 5th. Especially when you are taking second penalties. Best one should always go first

Mighty how do you say Come On Germany in German?

1st and 4th are the most important penalty taking positions. First and more often than not, last.

indeed.

They should take it in order of who's the best.

Why are the BBC shocked that defenders can take penalties?

Stop trying to be Nando.

very keen on Khedira and Schwen MARKY.

So was I, hence I made a big offer to Russell.

S.Bender, L.Bender, Kroos and Turan for Khedira and Schweinsteiger, i'm happy as I have a world class CM pairing, and Russell improves his squad and options.

i thimk you got better end ofthe deal tbh.

They're both injury prone anyway..

And sometimes you've got to take a step back to take two steps forward

Hopefully they're over it now

Schwein misses his home.

He is home.

Morning chaps

Felt bad for Portugal, they looked knackered by the end but I think Spain shaded it overall

Can't understand why Ronaldo was pen no.5 unless he was purely after the glory

Think you've answered yourself there, of course it was all about the Ego.

Fifth penalty is rarely the crucial one though, I reckon 3rd or 4th is vital. If you're going 2nd you can never know whether you'll get to take one anyway.

Felt bad for Alves, he had been supreme before that, and Pepe too. Absolute steamrollers as a pair.

Spain didn't deserve it, Portugal matched them and kept them quiet but just missed the quality striker.

Anyway I'm glad Spain won and that has nothing to do with having them in the sweepstake

I forgot the sweepstake actually - but I still get £2m out of it.

I think Portugal got tired in the second half and Spain took over. They were always going to struggle with the intensity they played with early, but it really did unsettle Spain.

I think if Germany win tonight and Spain don't play with either Torres or Llorente in the final, they're in big trouble. Negerdo never showed up, they needed movement. And I didn't understand the decision to bring on two out and out wingers with no natural striker.. Strange management. But heyho what do I know, they're in the final again so I'll zip it.

Yeah, Navas came on and beat his man a couple of times and looked to whip a ball in and no one was there.

Would have made more sense to bring Navas on and see if he could set up Negredo, they know each others game after all.

I thought that. Negredo wasn't getting the kind of service his game thrives on. He's not a short passer kind of player. He likes balls coming into the box.

Spain finally brought someone on who could provide it, but it was after Negredo had gone off

Morning

Bento asked Ronaldo to be the 5th penalty taker, Ronaldo has always take one of the last penatlys Euro 2004 and WC 2006. There is not gurantee that Ronaldo would score anyway, Alonso missed and before the penatlys are taken it is always the 5th penalty that will win or lose a game.

All penalties are as important as each other tbh. I'm not sure the pressure gets any easier if when you take the penalty changes
