Thank god russia scored. At least now Spain will try to score again because dammit this has been a boring game.
And we have a match.
We got a game!!
Pique has had a bad tourney. Too old?
That looked worse than it was. Jordi Alba jumped up before the contact.
You could tell by how lackluster they argued that. Pique knew he messed up.

He's never been worthy of the hype. Too much Shakira.
Pelvic thrust on target.

Pique is most overrated defender in history of soccer. Just terrible.

Awful second half. Spain with 75% possession and hardly attacking.
It's somehow fitting that the most boring of the knockout matches is the most likely to go into extra time.
I think I'm pulling for Russia now....
Oh boy. 30 minutes of free soccer. Boring ugly soccer. I'm calling my shot now. This one goes to KFTPM.
Yep. Spain not trying hard enough and the Russians trying to not be humiliated at home. Ugh.mathguy86 said:

Spain looked like they wanted to win for a moment. I suspect we may not see that again.
Seems like both teams are just hanging on for PK's.
Koke didn't read the memo. Actually took a shot on goal.
This is the kind of match that makes the casual soccer fan dislike soccer.

The only thing worse would be this Spanish squad versus a perpetually diving CONCACAF side.
So bad that the director briefly switched to a camera shot of three (not exactly attractive) fans showing more assertiveness to their food than any player on the pitch towards the goal.
Spain wouldn't have had any difficulty with the likes of Panama or Honduras. Russia isn't a great side, but they haven't embarrassed themselves in this tournament.LeonardSkinner said:The only thing worse would be this Spanish squad versus a perpetually diving CONCACAF side.dmart90 said:

That was a clean tackle.

Oh, I know, but I was speaking to the unattractiveness of the game. The only thing worse than boring would be boring with flopping.

He called it because the Russian came in studs up and over the top of the ball.

I lived in Europe most of the 1980s and this was European football in a nutshell at that time.
By the time this match ends, Spain will have completed over 1000 passes, with only an own goal on the scoreboard.
Akinfeev has played well.
How has Spain not won this match already?
If Spain gets knocked out, who becomes the favorite on the right bracket?

Seeing much better with Rodrigo and Aspas than we did early in the game with Costa. David a Silva should not start, don't care if he's a big name.
To be honest I don't know if either team deserves to win this game...
The Russians are exhausted.
