Sergio Garcia with the keeper off the line just pushes the ball along the goal mouth with no one there to hammer it home!

Spain unbeaten now in their last 19 internationals (17 wins, 2 draws), their ninth consecutive victory which equals the Spanish all-time record first set between 1924-27.
The victory is also coach Luis Aragonés' 36th in charge of La Furia which equals Javier Clemente's all-time win total at the top of Spain's coaching list. :cool:

Congrats to Spain on topping the group with 3 wins! Very impressive!
The title defender Greece is leaving the Euro stage with 0 points, what is the worst performance of all 16 teams. Pretty disappointing!

Can you do me a favor and move the Spain-Italy QF Thread that I started earlier this evening under the Euro 08 main forum into that KO stage sub-forum?
Thanks in advance,
