    A focal point would help but Spain don’t play the passes enough when attackers make the runs. Feels like their attackers have to come deep and dribble into offensive positions. I missed most of the 90 mins though.

    Late 2020 they wouldn’t but back in 2018 they actually would have as he got his debut in November 2018 and was in all the squads in 2019.

    Borja Iglesias is highest Spanish scorer in La Liga but he is only 3 months younger than Morata. Next up is 35 year old Iaho Aspas and 32 year old Joselu.

    Look on the bright side, at least there’s a country worse than us at penalties! We even knocked them out on pens in 1996! I think they probably have that spectre hanging over them like we do every time it’s a shootout.

    At least in Spanish and Catalan Balde and Fati are nothing like the translations of Fatty and Bald.

    They have lost 4 out of their five World Cup shootouts only winning against Ireland in 2002. At the euros they have won 4 and lost two.

    Imagine if Portugal win the tournament with Ronaldo on the bench. He might do something crazy.

    There was no sign of him joining in with celebrations :)

    The winner will probably go in off Cronaldo’s backside

    He's probably thinking of a way to replace Portugal's manager with Piers Morgan.

    If they lose a match and he is on the bench is when the real drama happens. Win and he will take all the glory still.

    I see Ronaldo has got up to celebrate Pepe’s goal.

    Portugal look better without Ronaldo.

    That seems to be the case a lot with him in recent years.

    Yes. Unfortunately Portugal are contenders too, without Ronaldo.

    Switzerland's first attack and they score.

    ...and I thought Portugal had the hardest opponents of the so called big teams.

    On this performance Portugal could be the favourites to make the final ahead of England and France.
