CR7 wasn't missed.
Spanish penalty efforts worse than Japan's the other day...Spain seemed resigned to losing upon reaching the penalty stage, mirrored their performance in the 120 minutes, impotent.

Think I read a statistic along the lines that in 2006, 7 or 8 of the Australian squad were Aussie-Croatians. And at the tournament there were something like 10-11 Aussie-Croatians in total playing. Not sure what that stat goes up to if you add those of Serbian (and other former Yugoslav States') heritage.Didn't we have Frank Arok, Zoran Matic and Rale Rasic just to name a couple of gunn coachesAnd the Vidmar's and (AC) Milan Ivanovic
Every world class goalie we've had hails from back there
I can only think of Bogut for basketball but sure there's been more
He'll finish his days seriously overpaid to play in substandard Gulf leagues I suspect.
Ronaldo has received a massive offer from Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Can you imagine him playing in the AFC cup against MacArthur FC on a rainy Tuesday night in Campbelltown next year?

a bit unfortunate for Aussies, the last 2 6am games have been fizzes, while the last 2 2am games have been crackers. hopefully we get some more tight quarterfinals.
Morocco!! BOOM!!
Spain!! boom!!
The penalty taking, man they're hopeless at it today
Morrocan keeper was very good but yeah Spanish penalties didn't have enough power.
I thought the Portugal game (albeit 1 sided) was a high quality game with a lot of entertainment in it. I wouldn't regard it as a fizzer just because it wasn't close. Much prefer watching that, than a 0-0 draw with Spain having over 1,000 passes and maybe creating 2 or 3 chances out of those passes.
Fair enough. I didnt get up- saw the score at one point and stayed in bed!
Obviously I didnt see the Spain game today, but generally I like their football
Didnt they secede during at some stage?
Fair point though, I probably should have said Australians in the east.
I used to like their football. Now they have just become boring. Lots of possession with no end product. They have played this way for over 10 years, but they no longer have superstar strikers (at least not 1 that they play - Morata is at best a sub for Enrique) of the likes of David Villa and Fernando Torres that they had in their Euros / world cup winning years.
Now they move the ball slowly, have no pace in the team, don't cross the ball, so inevitably all they do is pass the ball between their defense and midfield up to the penalty area, and then go back again.
Horrible, horrible style of play at the moment, which is getting the results it deserves.
Unless this is match-fixing, how stupid are the Spanish? The lightest of lights in penalty kicking. Ridiculous!!
Always thought Iniesta was their most important player during their glory years.
