It’s gone a bit flat
Can see Russia nicking this

God, I hope so.

If Spain's method of playing had been the football standard since the game began it would never have caught on. Right, I'm back out to watch the grass grow.

Here comes the druggie

 

[Reynard]

This is a bit grim...

Think the first two last 16 ties have kind of spoiled up a bit. OK, a lot.

Russia to win on penalties?

 

[Reynard]

Russia to win on penalties?

Wouldn't surprise me if that's what they're playing for. They've sort of parked the bus, and it's like trying to open a Fray Bentos can...

Don't go and open that can of worms, Reynard!

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Don't go and open that can of worms, Reynard!

They don't actually use worms.

Do they?

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Don't go and open that can of worms, Reynard!

Dayvo to be sued by Fray Bentos

 

[Reynard]

What Spain need is a good can opener... But it doesn't look like they've got one.

I got so bored we’re now watching

The jazz singer

 

[Reynard]

I think I may have discovered the cure for insomnia.

 

[Slick]

There's bound to be some drama. Like a lot of players, many of the Spanish graduated RADA with distinction in acting

Well, there's truth in that but most teams have at least one nomination for best actor this year.

 

[matiz]

Please let's have a late winner I don't think I can stand another half hour of this.

 

[Reynard]

Unfortunately no one's put us out of our misery... yet.

The BBC commentators have called it "absorbing", but what I've seen has been dire. Spain haven't shown any creativity at all.
