    Bravo Morocco!

    Someone needs to sign GK, Yassine Bounou or Bono who was born in Montreal!

    Spanish penalty takers wanted to make the Japanese ones look good.

    Hopefully this ends the love affair with TikiTaka, and everyone can stop caring about how many teenagers start on the first team, unless they deserve to.

    Italy return to her roots!

    Coaches need to realize that these extra time late subs are not reliable penalty takers, it's been proven time and time again. Famously our Zaza penalty, he was brought in literally at penalties

    Once again it was written all over their faces. I couldn't believe that all three Spanish penalty takers look like they were going to cacarella their shorts. I knew when seeing Sabiri's face he was going to miss. It didn't get better when Solar came up, and then Busquets looked like it was the first time ever for him. Whereas Ziyech had "go fck yourself" written all over his face and smashed it right down the middle with authority.

    Crazy how emotionally shaken some players get when they step up.

    I didn't say that. I said having teenagers on your team shouldn't be a measure of success. If they are good enough, they'll get there (Gnonto) but let's stop caring what Spain or Germany or France do and stick to what we do.

    How does Rafa Leao not start? Fernando Santos is mental. Honestly hope Switzerland buries this idiot coach.

    Didn't think their coach had balls like this. With Spain out.. i think Portugal actually takes this tournament now with Ronaldo on the bench.

    I guess I would be the idiot! I'd be starting Rafa Leao but probably losing!
