Spain conquered their demons, good for them. Italy still has the cup to hold on for a while longer so it can't be that painful to lose.

Well done Spain, I'm incredibly happy that Italy are out. I must admit, I was kind of hoping that Italy would win but watching them lose here in the first quarter finals is brilliant.
Let me say, Spain v Russia is looking to be the game of the tournament. If you don't like football or really want to see an exciting, attacking game, I suggest you get on this one.

fucking bitch that sucks ass. Fuck spain. why do you all hate Italy so much. I only watch soccer to watch Italy play and still find this a tremendously boring sport. I do not know how anyone can like watching it, its brutal. Yet you like Golf? The people who find soccer boring are the people who don't understand it, and I'm not knocking you Basone but it's the truth. The same for American football. Europeans hate the sport because they can't understand it. I just don't see how anyone can not love the Eurocup, that was an incredible game to watch and that's rare for a 0-0 game. How can you not love a sport where you win as a country and you lose as a country? Insane. Hey James, were you hearing the crowd? Sounded like nothing but Spanish chants all game. It was funny when they showed the italian fans just sitting smoking and then the Spanish fans jumping up and down non-stop. I'm taking off work Thursday to watch the Russia game, I think it's a good and a bad thing that we've already beaten them and crushed them the first game. Can't wait.

Chris, I DONT CARE what the Spanish fans do here, and ROFL @ you thinking that they are better than the best supporters in the world. You honestly have no idea about the support side of things.
With that aside I agree with you about the reason why people hate football is because they don't understand it. I also think that in America it comes down to the fact that you (Americans) want something to be happening all the time, you want something to be happening now and you don't want to have to wait for it even though football is a game of patience, technical ability, persistence and strategy.
Good luck to Spain. I hope it's a cracking 3-2 game and I hope we get a Spain/Germany final.
Btw the same reason why everyone else in the world doesn't like NFL is the same reason, they don't understand it and tbh, it's about 100 times harder to learn than soccer.

Tell you the truth I do not like watching golf all that much either. Unless it is a big major or if Tiger is playing. Besides that I rarely ever watch it. As for not really enjoying Soccer, maybe james is right that I am more interested in the fact that I would like something to be going on all the time but to me it is not that enjoyable. World Cup is always fun, But meh going to a shoot out was pretty cool.

and is there still anyone who doubts Iker Casillas as being the #1 goalie in the world?
San Iker for life.

Casilla was clutch, kick save and a beauty.

Unreal. This team is incredible.
Germany with a great response. Schweinsteiger has been the player of the tournament for the Germans.

Turkey is without half their starters.. and are forced to play with 13 players.. meaning even if they wanted to use all 3 subs.. they can't, because they only have two and one's a goalie they converted to an outfield player. There is NO reason why Germany and Turkey should be tied 1-1 right now.
