Euros: Spain and Italy are through to the quarters from Group C!!

No much surprises from the Group C results. Spain manged to win over Croatia and Italy also managed to win over Ireland to qualify for the next round. The goal scored by Spain is just a classic one. They kept a good control on the ball and made a sudden attack to score the goal . It is all about the team effort .

Well we need depends on how Italy can prove they can improve the play against Croatia. while the had shown he able to combine mix between old and the young players. And now again Pirandello must show he able to utilize this team against England who has well organized defends and better goal keeper than Croatia..However, I believe they still has good ochre since many Italian players getting used to with England way of playing because many of their players are playing there...maybe not too many but baloteli will represent this situation.

hello, Well right from the beginning of Euro cup Spain were the favorites as they are in great form and also the defending champion. But I think the absence of David Villa has hurt them. They are missing their all time top scorer. In the last match, where they scored 4 goals with Torres scoring twice, everyone thought that they are back with a bang. But with Croatia they struggled a lot and now i m confused about their fate in the remaining matches.

It is a pity that Croatia is out of the tournament. They were one of the better and exciting team in the tournament. While many have praise the Spain's tika-taka style, I find it boring to watch. All they do is pass, pass, pass and pass. Good for those suffering from insomnia. Italy looks good and I foresee that they will go far.

Spain came to the tournament as favourites and rightfully so they advanced to the next stage. Unlike Holland. A sad case of disunity for Holland. Anyway, back to Spain. A 1 - 0 win doesn't really sounds like Spain is as strong as they should be. Probably missing the strikes of David Villa. Fernando Torres and Llorente have not hit full gear. I hope Torres 2 goals in the previous game is not a flash in the pan. Next round they are going to face 2nd runner up of the group containing France, England, Ukraine and Sweden. I think they should up their game a little bit more because opponents for the next round are no easy task. Their current performance is not that great. Being the World Cup and European Champion, the pressure is on them to repeat their performance. The likes of Xavi, Torres, Ramos, Xabi and Cassilas are experience enough to put up a great performance for the tournament. As for Italy, never ever look down on old legs. Buffon and Pirlo are prime example of great players. Their experience carried them through to the next round. Lucky enough Balotelli and Cassano didn't start acting strange.Balotelli especially and he did scored. Congrats to him although i never like him for his arrogance.
