He should have screamed at Eder "no goal, no goaaaaal".
Isnt screaming one of his strengths after all?

Not lose on purpose, rest all your starters since you already progressed and lose because of that

Why Ramos even was shooting the pk is the biggest mystery here

The teams I want to win:
1) Italy
2) Croatia
3) Poland
Not counting teams super unlikely to win like Iceland and Northern Ireland.

Getting out of the group is a great success for us already, even if 16/24 teams advance.
After all we got same number of points as reigning World Champion. Our first 11 is quite nice and balanced, unfortunately not so much options on the bench. This might be a problem in the next stage but i'm optimistic, Switzerland definitely seems beatable. If we go through, Croatia might be out of our reach tho. Maybe if Lewandowski eats his gluten-free pies and finds his scoring shoes... Btw how random is that Russell cheers for us. @Bianconero_Aus

Del Bosque: “We have a number of penalty takers and the most confident takes it. It’s an option during the game and not for the Coach to intervene.”
But I think the fucker is going for the ballon d'or. He captained Real to the CL and scored the goal in the final. With Cassilas on the bench, he's captaining Spain and if they won the group they'd have had an easy road to the final. Every goal counts for a defender, and he wanted to show his leadership with this penalty.
If he wins the EL in the same season he won the CL, captains both and scores important goals in both competitions, he might stand a chance, with some good PR and people getting tired of Messi and Ronaldo winning it every year.
It didn't go well for him tonight

What you said about the balon dor makes sense, CL + Euros would give him good chances, but I think he would still come short, too many Messi and Ronaldo voters out there

The highest rated Italian player is Candreva at 39.
- - - Updated - - -
Teams that have players above Candreva:
Spain and France (9 players each); Germany (6 players); Switzerland (3 players); Wales, Croatia, England, Belgium, Portugal (2 players each); Slovakia (1 player).
Un fucking believable.

I actually think Italy have a decent chance this time. They are due a win against Spain in a major tournament. And Spain are still a great team, but they don't look the same unstoppable force that they did 4-6 years ago. And Italy's 3-5-2 is the perfect system to counter tiki-taka. If only they had Verratti and Marchisio available to further beef up that midfield.

lol at Del Bosque for saying that, thats BS, you give the penalty to your best taker in important games, and lol for even allowing it, no authority at all after coaching them for 8 years. with guys like Fabregas, Iniesta, Morata, Silva there, there is no way id let him shoot.

Unless Ronaldo really gets his shit together it seems like Messi is going to win again.
