*Official* Round of 16 thread

Vermaelen is pony.

 

[Tangles]

I can see why you might start Kane and Vardy. Can't see why you would bench Vardy and play Sterling.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Surprisingly good game so far.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Spain not unflattered by nil mind. They look very ordinary.

 

[harsh.ag]

Damn, Italy looks leaps and bounds better than Spain here. De Gea is awesome. Florenzi's crossing skills look doubtful to me, but Italy's left wing looks fabulous.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Always amazes me how often forwards hit it straight at the keeper on 1 v 1 situations.

 

[Pothas]

What is the point in Fabregas these days?

 

[Uppercut]

What is the point in Fabregas these days?

Yeah total liability now since January 2015. Torres-esque decline.

This has been a textbook LVG-United performance from Spain, right down to De Gea constantly bailing them out. Darmian won't know who to play for.

 

[Uppercut]

Ah that was awesome. Remarkably similar to the Belgium goal.

There are so many better options in his position as well, some of them not even in the squad.

Defended them many times but they have been awful today, seems a little churlish given how much he has won but a change of manager has got to do them some good.

Italy v Germany going to be great though.

So classically Italian. Give your opponents a sniff then kill them at the end.

Gutted I missed all but the last 5 mins, sounds like a great game.

Nervous about this. Everyone thinks England will win.. Any predictions ??

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hoping for a goal in the first half, otherwise it'll be a bloody nightmare.

Germany gave a proper demonstration of how to put away this sort of side, but England don't seem to learn. They have the personnel but just don't do it tactically.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Sterling back, good god. We are in for a long night.

 

[Scaly piscine]

So England aiming to hog the touchline with Sterling and Sturridge, we'll see...

Like a washed up striker would start in the German midfield lol. Plus Kroos.

 

[GIMH]

That'll do

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Decent start.

 

[GIMH]

That won't

 

[vogue]

What!!
