Friday’s final fixture takes in the Group D clash between Spain and a Turkey side looking for their first points of Euro 2016.

This is the first time the two sides have met in a major finals, while in their previous 10 encounters Spain have won nine. Turkey’s only victory came in a World Cup qualifier in 1954.

Although Vicente del Bosque’s Spain won their first game 1-0 over the Czech Republic, the former World Cup winners were far from convincing with 13 of their 18 goal attempts failing to hit the target.

Turkey will be hoping Spain can continue their profligate goal threat after conceding a worrying 15 shots in the box in their 1-0 defeat to Croatia. Indeed, over their 13 European Championship games Turkey have kept just two clean sheets.

    Juanfran out, Bellerin on in half-time.

    1. TJ_777
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin should be starting

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No..

  2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Juanfran completely free but no pass. The team don't trust him

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For a reason, he's been shocking.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He was fine in the first match though. Maybe he's got a flu bug or something now.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I thought he was disappointing in the first game as well.

          Never broke the defensive line with his runs. Contributed to Spain's failure to break down the opposition.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I'm not saying he was very good either, don't get me wrong. In attack, he was quite useless, but he defended very proactively, to enable his team to keep up that extreme dominance, against an opponent that eventually hardly got a chance to score, so I find it quite harsh to blame him for bad defending.

            1. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Agree completely. Although I'd argue that the full back for Spain is 75% attacking, 25% defending.

        2. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          he was poor in the CL final too

            • 11 Years

            Are you kidding me? He was excellent in the CL final.

    Turkey going all out attack haha

  4. harrydavies14

    Does anyone know if Fabregas got the assist??

    Well basically whoever crossed it for Vardy's goal yesterday (which Williams then headed backwards), did they get the assist? Cheers

    1. Lord Mayor's Croupier
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Flashscore has it as Fab assist, hasn't showed up in the game tho 🙁

    Does someone know how to activate the WC in the right way? Two of my friends have got a -20 just because they did it the wrong way.

    Pls help, I want to use it next GW and I don't want those minuses!!

    Colback on 11 YC's and the season hasn't even started.

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's written into his contract for him to start on that every season as an anger management/behavior modification strategy.

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet to Bale to Zlatan...haven't quite gotten the hang of sticking and twisting the captaincy yet. Good thing I can't play this for money in my country.

  11. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    NOLITOOOOOO 😎

    Now, someone remind me why I got Ramos over Pique?

    1. Creedey
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He came good!! 😉

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, how's your score?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure, website kind of glitching up for me atm. I'll just check after it updates. Perisic and my 3 Spaniards coming good today though! Btw, which captain you planning on twisting to tomorrow?

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Great day for you, good to hear.

          I'm switching to Alaba. People say he's God so what better set of hands in which to place my captaincy?

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            🙂 Good luck to you, sir! Still got your WC or did you use it this week? If so, planning on using it next week or still the QF?

            1. tm245
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Definitely QF.

              1. Jazz!
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Hmm, it'll be next week for me purely because my team is not in good shape for next week 🙂 Good luck mate. 😀

      I did the same... Not sure why though?

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I see every corner going to Pique then him at CF! 🙁

  12. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas has had the assist taken off him. It's vamoosed.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      given to lukaku i think

    2. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I noticed that, seems harsh when he made the intended pass - just via a defenders flick on.

  13. Meimei
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I hope they can keep that cs it is saving my week.

  14. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years

    On 105 points, quite happy with that.

    People questioning Pique's positioning don't watch enough Barca! 😆

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well he has High | Med workrates on Fifa so must be pretty attacking 😉

    Djourou and Fabregas owner here... rage quit incoming.

    1. BOUBI
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      why Djourou has not been awarded the assist?

        1. BOUBI
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          i have written to uefa and posted vids of djourou assist. its a clear ssist.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Why do you think it was an assist though?

            1. Forza
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              "A player will be credited with a goal assist when he delivers/plays the final pass, cross, header or shot which leads to the goal being scored."

              It came off him before Mehmedi shot, so the only argument for it being removed is if it wasn't deemed a pass or header, but they didn't have a problem deeming Alli's touch as a pass yesterday.

                • 10 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                crystal clear answer 🙂

    Fabregas has been useless in fantasy for about 18 months

    1. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He got an assist tonight for all of a minute at least.

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Giaccherini has been worse for longer

  18. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Nolito looking like a good replacement for Nasri. Might be a good signing after all.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Very good technical player. He is 29 but definitely has the ability. The way he took that second goal was brilliant 🙂

  19. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ownership of Nolito, Fabregas and Morata?

    It's nervous to watch this game when you have no players in it.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nolito's is definitely low

      1. rivercityransom
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        5%

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Nice

    2. @ocprodigy

      Wow

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        What is the reason for that reaction? 😀

    3. Camp No No

      No Spain? Gee... that's suicidal!

    Is Lothar Matthaus actually Towelie? He looks like he has no idea what is going on half the time, I doubt he even understands much if what Bilic is saying 😀
