Is Spain going to Tika-takaing Italy to death?
Oh, Spain made a mistake.
Edit: looks like Italy has settled down, plus Spanish mistakes have emboldened them.

Spain vs Italy 60 -40 or something. Italy can damage Spain though as they show at times. But honestly Spain creating the most danger and playing better.
And yet, as @cynicaloldgit says…
Just before the last Spanish attack, TV showed 70:30!

Yeah, I didn’t refer to posession but more that Spain was 60% “better” visa vi Italy 40, but I didnt explain my thinking at all I see.
Not surprised concerning the posession you note.
Italy dangerous now and then though. A bit more into the game as well right now it seems.
Italy can’t control the ball! 
Tiki Taka is obviously now in Spain’s football DNA but not much technical quality by the current squad to translate that on the pitch.
They used to have Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, David Silva, Torres a few years ago.
Exciting and tense half. But not always the best football. Spain overall better, but Italy dangerous. Impossible to foretell this game so I won’t try.

Shearer: “Spain have been phenomenal in midfield, but they’ve had no-one to pass it forward to”.
Isn’t the reason why they’ve been exceptional in midfield at least partly because of the fact they’ve loaded the midfield at the expense of players further forward?

It’s boring me so much I’m wondering if i would be better watching Netflix.
I’m expecting/hoping for a better second half.
Goal mouth action is on strike.

They also had quite a few situations where it almost clicked also with the last pass. I don’t really agree with him tbh. Spanish movements were quite good at times.
Italy vs Spain semi-final

I can recommend Dark on Netflix if you want some truly high quality to watch. But that would be comitment as Dark is not the type of series you just watch one episode of now and then. So in case you don’t want footie or dont think it is good enough, Dark will sort you out (But only on original German with subtitles, you can’t watch such quality series dubbed or I will strangle you with my astral production! 
)

Italy can’t even take a freekick. FFS.
So slow at least Spain are competent in midfield!
pretty sure I started watching it. I seem to remember tunnels/forest setting. then I lost interest
It’s more or less the only German series that’s really worth watching, apart from Babylon Berlin.

If we’re lucky enough to see another shot on target we might be spared penalties.
Fuck that yellow was a long time coming given some of the tugs and tackles 
in the first half.
