A third foul barely outside of the box that isn't called. This is AWFUL.

First half recap: Spain is dominating TOP and outplaying Italy but half the time they are around the penalty box the Italians turn into the Detroit Pistons and get away with obvious fouls. Spain should have gotten 2 penalty kicks and 2 free kicks just outside the box IMO.

I dont see that clear dominance.
Spain is keeping the ball with short passing and good order but losing speed.
Italy is pressing in the midfield searchig for a mistake or a foul near the box (poormans football)

Great game, the color commentator on ESPN is rooting for Spain though. He repeatedly comments on fouls that should be called on Italy. Let it go and comment on a great game.

Its like watching a 0-0 baseball game in the 9th, sure everyone likes scoring but you cant beat a nail biter to the end. Great game!

i am in love with Italy s defensive formation. i dont think i ve seen a team that is been dominated this much in midfield give up low amount of goal possession to opponent.
