Better from Russia, come on make a game of it.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Stupid idiot

 

[mattyspurs]

Good call ref

 

[dondo]

Man some of the defending nowadays

 

[werty]

Pique is having a stinker of a tournament.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Why isn't that red? He intentionally put his hand in front of a goal bound shot

 

[thinktank]

Can't leave your hand up like that.

 

[aliyid]

What was he thinking, arm was coming down and he lifted it even higher to block it

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Definite pen

 

[Marty]

I almost rescind my support for Spain in this match after that utter idiocy from Pique.

 

[mark87]

100% a penalty

 

[tiger666]

COME ON RUSSIA!

 

[haxman]

Spain still haven't had a shot on goal yet. So poor. Give me France's style of football yesterday over this.

Maybe this'll be the kick in the hole they need.

 

[thinktank]

Imagine the pressure on that pen and he nails it.

 

[Hotspur_Hero]

Pretty sure they showed Levy in that box with the guy who celebrated after the PK.

 

[werty]

Have Spain had a shot yet?

I believe a red is for stopping a clear goal not a goalbound attempt

Good job Spain went with a more direct approach. Otherwise they'd have scored an own goal by now.

 

[hughy]

If Russia beat Spain then I'm lumping money on Croatia to win the competition. Clear route to the final more or less.

 

[haxman]

Finally, just as the clock reached 45 mins they manage a shot.
