They are giving them a drink break? No problem but that better be accounted for in stoppage time.

Spain is clearly the better team, but they had almost no shots on goal. Their only goal was an own goal. This has to be the worst game in the tournament.

Easily, they have no clue how to attack. Just sit there and pass the ball. It’s a worse form of what Germany was doing in the group stage.

Don't know why Spain doesn't try some crosses in the box. A lot can go wrong for Russia in the box.

Russia is playing 120 minutes of merely waiting out for penalty kicks.
Russia has zero desire to win the game.

Spain has nearly 1000 passes and 80% possession but zero offense to show for it.
Spain has zero ability to win the game if Russia is playing not to lose.

Why did the two teams ever bother to play. Just flip a coin and decide the winner.

This might be the most boring game ever played....SO FAR

Aint no way a referee is calling a penalty in front of 100,000 drunken Russians and another 100,000 Russian Ultras meandering the streets near his hotel room

Shootout would be so much better if they kicked farther back. Watching goalies basically guess is stupid as hell

If there was Karma, Russia would lose.
This is embarassing for the hosts to so blatantly and utterly play for penalty kicks in front of their national audience.

Spain is not playing their best, but at least they tried to play today.
Spain had the ball the entire game. I have never seen a game where one team never bothered to possess the ball.

Russia decided after 1 minute that they wanted penalty kicks to decide it.
