He's on for set pieces. Also I know bags of potato's more creative than current Thiago so..
Makes a bit more sense, but surely Marcos Llorente is a better shout there?

Then again I don’t agree with a lot of Enrique’s choices (and not just his wardrobe. Jeans to a fecking semi final?) Adama hasn’t played a minute so far. I don’t rate him much, ask @Cascarino, but man he offers something literally nothing in this side can

Harry kane and co. are surely licking their lips at the prospect of donnaruma? The amount of balls he's given away today, it's shameful.

I hope Spain get a goal and shithouse their way to the final with penalties.

From an England/Denmark perspective, they look much more beatable than Italy

England would eat Spain for breakfast, not sure about their prospect facing Italy though but this italian team consists mostly of green players in international level so theres a hope i guess.
The reason a lot of Europeans don’t like England is because fans like you who are arrogant, Spain actually has a better team than England and if they were able to find a striker they may win next year’s WC

Never felt confident Morata would do anything when he had the ball in that position.

You're calling others arrogant?

England don’t press as much as Spain so I think his kicking is likely to be less of an issue.

I want Italy to win but I'd love a Spain goal just so we can watch another half hour of this!

Spain's midfield is as good as their attack is bad. It's like watching 3 Serginho's instead of 1 up there.

If only spain had me as their striker.. they would still have scored nothing.

Why score for spain when you can watch a England vs Italy final from the comfort of some vacation spot??

Morata et al. are playing 5d chess

My wit's end
Mancini has this Italian team set up like a side from the Premier League. That's why I think England would prefer them to Spain if they got through to the final. It's a more familiar foe.

I think Adams Traore would be useful, some directness to Spain. They're barely creating anything

Sweeping statement is sweeping.

Purely cause Rodri is a heading machine, other than that there is zero reason for Rodri over Llorente I'd say. Expect Spain to throw him up front and go full Tony Pulis last 5 minutes.

Simon is comically bad. Even current De Gea is miles better than this clown!
