    I see another good game tonight. So far, none of the group winners in each quarter final have gone through, but I think that'll change tonight. I'm going for 2-1 Spain.
    How do all of you see this game going...

    I think Italy will win. They had a crisis in the group stage (like Germany) and will fight to win (also for Donadoni who is treated unfairly by the Italian press) and proceed to the Semis.

    I'd say Italy but without Pirlo I think they lack too much creativity so it's got to be Spain for me, come on one of the group winners has to win eventually.

    Spain will totally destroy Italy as did Holland.

    No Gattuso & more importantly no Pirlo, Italy are *, Luca Toni is an over rated fud, whereas Torres & Villa are the real deal.

    Spain will be the only Group winners in the Semi's, they've now got to prove themselves (which they've struggled to do in the past).

    Loving a Spain v's Russia match, that'll be a fecking cracker & much harder to call that this gimmie.

    i said spain at the start ,and ive gotta fiver on them to win the tourny ,but i thought holland made a big mistake when they could have put romania threw instead of the italians , anyway the dutch are oot now anyway ,but i think italy could now go on to win this thing ,teams like them you dont give a second chance too ,and they got one

    if italy had their first choice back 4 i'd put my money on them but they've looked disorganised all tournament so i expect villa and torres to win it for spain

    I think Italy will miss the midfielders tonight but manage to take to Extra Time where anything goes!

    Ffs, that first half was terrible, I can only hope it livens up in the second half. The narrow pitch doesn't do any favours, the wingers are finding it hard and the ball's getting stuck in the midfield too much.

    Please get better in the second half...:shamrock:

    We're now into Extra Time after a terrible 90 minutes...

    A quote somebody texted to the BBC website:

    "This match makes you realize how good this tournament has been. Games like this have been commonplace in World Cups and European Champs the last twenty years. We should be thankful we've got this far this time without more matches like this."
