Great shot by Eder. Defender went in too early, had him fooled.

Tough loss for Sweden but you gotta make the most of possession and Gigi didn't have to make a single save.

Italy though, yikes. With the group sealed they had better experiment a little vs. Ireland.

Predictable performance for both sides

Bbb said germans usually have poor/dopey 2nd games .... Italy:

#ITA in 2nd matches in international tournaments going back to 2002:
L 0-1
D 1-1
D 1-1
D 1-1
D 1-1
D 1-1
L 1-2

Portugal have blown a few game ones but since 1996 have won 8 and drawn 1 second game. More of the former please.

Gigi has pretty good hops for being 83 years old.

Lovely

Oh good now the Cro's are throwing flares on the pitch.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

And then a Czech penalty and Croatia have officially blown the game!

Well, it's a little better than a swastika on the pitch.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Best game thus far.

Italy plays runner up of group D. It'll be either Czechs or Croats.

Has Spain found the fountain of youth or is it just that Turkey is making Spain look good?

Spain won the Euro U21's in 2011 and 2013. They have a boatload of youngsters on the rise. Many of them are on the bench, a bunch could've but didn't get called. They're set for a long time.

I figured as much since Turkey is cooked Griswold-style.
