My thoughts exactly - you'd have had to have been a brave man to have made that decision in Russia...Quote:

110 minutes before they tried running at the ancient Russian defence.Quote:

C'mon Spain
Done over £100 on this . I kinda undearstand the ref bottling it. Poor decision that could leave players believing a bit of fouling in the penalty boxes fine.Quote:

There is no one correct way to play football.
This game proves that unforgiving fact.
Wow. Russia through with the best penalty save from the Russian keeper
Spain go home
Spain out!! Wow.
Actually quite pleased for Russia now but wont be cancelling any engagements for their QF.
That's what you get from having no pace or penetration up front... Russia should never have been in that match
Russia might have been as negative as they could be but Spain should be good enough to create enough chances to score and today they didn't.
A victory against god awful tippy tappy boring 400 lateral passes Spanish shite football.
YepQuote:

Cmon Jimmy mate. It’s a sore one losing your candy, but if Wales or Scotland did that to get into the World cup Qtrs, we’d be creaming ourselves.Quote:

Congrats to Russia but they will need to do more in the next round and if they over-celebrate now they've no chance.
I was thinking an early goal for Spain and the game is as good as over, but, instead they started thinking like that themselves and were unable to lift themselves out of their malaise when Russia equalised. I thought Russia got the benefit of a home town decision with that incident when it looked like both Spanish centrebacks were fouled, but tremendous credit to them for the way they went about the penalty shoot out.
It was interesting to hear the commentator mention the way Wales destroyed Russia by running at them, but the difference was that Russia had to win that night - that said, the only time someone in a Spain shirt tried the Welsh approach, they almost scored.
England will be happy to see Spain fall as they were the expected semi final opponent should they get past Colombia then either Switzerland or Sweden in the last 8.
