Old Man AndrewsSilver Fox Admittedly I only watched it on my phone in my folks' garden but if Spain were awful wtf were Russia?
What could they realistically do though? Penalties were probably their only option with the squad they have. Spain should easily have beaten that Russian team but insisted on playing their dull brand of football rather than being direct and running at an aging and unfit Russian defence.

Baffled with their tactics - Russians looked scared whenever Spain ran at them, but they only did it about twice in the whole match. The Russian backline has an average age of about 57 - use your physical advantage!

Old Man Andrews Their bloody centre back retired in April and is now in a World Cup quarter final! Baffling.
Spain deserved all they got imo. For them to not at least make the semi finals in that half of the draw is unforgivable.

bobby1413 Did anyone else see the tension and passive anger between Bilic and O'Neill at the end of the game?

6ft Kerplunk Love how we've all forgotten what a shambles we'd been led to believe this tournament was going to be. We've not even people moaning about how shite the ball is for once. Best World Cup for yonks. This is the most open World Cup I can remember. The big teams not being all that and others finding a bit of form means we've still got no real idea who will win*.
*obvs us or Brazil

Winston Biscuit So why are the so called big teams no longer doing it?
Just a freak world cup? smaller teams closed the gap on them?
