Austria with a very agressive press now. But Spain is super calm about that. Even so, I liked what I saw now from the Austrians.
Nah he got rinsed a few times

Baenaās haircut is weird
Lots of booing, there must be some Everton fans in the crowd.
Commentary: āthe footballing brain for this Austrian team is working overtimeā¦ā
Feels more like exhaustion.
How many wingers do we reckon would need to be substituted for Spain before we would get to have a look at Munoz?
Their press may be aggressive, but when you canāt pass the ball to a team mate it is an issue.

Surprised to acknowledge Ferdinand isnāt actually doing punditry even though Iām glad.
I noticed that about Jenas and then remembered him being a sex pest.

So many counter attacks in this game. Mostly broken up and not completed, but wave after wave. Austria tries really hard, but Spain is all over them and breaks them even right after Austria has broken Spain. Rough for the Austrian underdogsā¦
Sure, but thatās also because they have so litle time. Far less than they are used to, since Spain is equally agressive in their press and just better at ball retention.
Cucurella standing ahead of his winger and slightly centrally, bringing his marker to basically congest and block all the space ahead of his winger.
Genius.
I donāt think Austria is playing negatively or poor really. Itās just that one team is really much better than the other, and then itās hard for Austria whatever they do

Shame Arnautovic isnĀ“t 5 or 6 years younger
Would have been a handful.
They are going long too much and arenāt supporting the contest for the ball, so it just comes straight back.

The Austrian players kept running into each other. 
Agreed. But I still think Austria is doing ok against a well oiled team consisting of better players in almost all positions. And Spain is really up for it tonight.
Urgh, Danny Murphy could say his name and then have to take it back in the next sentence when the replay shows he got it wrong
Overwhelming.
I suppose the game is likely over now
Brilliant goal

I am curious to see Spain against stronger opposition. Because tonight, they are really very good
