Cade Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Final game of the day. Spain could and should have scored a fistful of goals against the Czechs last time out. That game told us nothing about Spain's chances for the tournament. They'll qualify for the next round with a win tonight. Turkey struggled against Croatia last time out and could have lost by far more than the one goal that was scored. Solid Spain win on the cards.

John Findlay Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 On paper yes. Can see the Turks being physical here and a red card wouldn't surprise me for either team. 2-0 Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock _turd Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 You know the Turks may well get well gubbed in this game ... but how nice is it to see players running with the ball at their feet and really trying to make the game entertaining.

jock _turd Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 To be fair to Spain the have been a lot less boring than usual but Turkey have to take a look at their defending for the second goal that was like something from the local park . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The Spanish looked as if they were in the mood tonight. Their last group game against Croatia could be a tasty affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The 3 teams that impressed me the most after the first round of games were Germany, who were fantastic against Ukraine, Croatia who played extremely well against Turkey and Spain who dominated the Czechs. After the second round of matches though it's Spain who are getting into a rhythm and dominating sides. I thought Germany were really disappointing against Poland and Croatia let a two goal lead slip after dominating the first half against the Czechs. Spain were excellent tonight, best i've seen them play since the last Euro's. Only problem I see with Spain is that they don't have a goal machine upfront. Special mention for Iniesta though, he was magnificent against the Czechs and again tonight gave the world a masterclass in how the boss a game. Such a great player, his assist for Morata's 2nd, the vision to see Alba ghosting in behind Turkeys defence, the technique to play the ball onto Alba's left foot and the weight of the pass was just sublime. Would be in any of my greatest XI's and so far for me, player of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
