Lazy, slow, uninspiring Spain. At least they seem to have a little more urgency now than we had against Roma.

Hand ball was intentional from Pique imo. Deserved yellow. Textbook call from the ref all around imo, even his explications were spot on.

Russia should stay compact in defense in the 2nd half and they will not concede unless some random long range shot merchant shows up (if he will not be already subbed off by then).

Pique needs benching at Barcelona. He started to monkey around way too often with no repercussions.

Dont see the point of even benching him at this point , he is 30+. Most ideally Id sell him. Most realistic situation is phasing him out.

Think it was yellow because he prevented a goal chance

That is debatable. Not all hand balls in the penalty area prevent a goal chance - but pk is always given if the hand is far from the body even if unintentional.

Ev's Barca in a 442 with Gomes, Paulinho and Rakitic plays more beautiful than what Spain is currently doing.

They seem as their only purpose is just pass sideways and to defenders instead of trying anything risky.

Horrible to watch.
