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.

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

    1. BOUBI
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      why Djourou has not been awarded the assist?

        1. BOUBI
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Why do you think it was an assist though?

            1. Forza

              "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.

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                crystal clear answer 🙂

  4. Give The Todd Some Love

    Fabregas has been useless in fantasy for about 18 months

    1. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Giaccherini has been worse for longer

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ownership of Nolito, Fabregas and Morata?

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

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nolito's is definitely low

      1. rivercityransom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        5%

        1. Dušan Citizen

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years

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

      5. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Who is this clown of a co-commentator on ITV? Not one but two players offside, Morata by miles. But he doesn't see anything wrong with it.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

        Morata looking like a must

        1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          He was the player I was most afraid not to own this week.

        2. Mavric Marco
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Nolito is a decent option for a lot less

      12. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        4 years ago it was Torres. this time Morata

        Alba screwed me over from an Iniesta assist. I hate him even more now.

        1. SilkySkills
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          lack of effort maybe

          • 16 Years

      17. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Giaccherini, Alba, Juanfran and Perisic my only four players today.

        Going very well, too bad about no Morata/Nolito

        1. Mavric Marco
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I've got 3 today, Bonucci, Perisic & Morata

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Giacherinni, Ramos, Perisic(c), and Morata here.

      18. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Come on del Bosque, stick Alba up front for a laugh.

      19. DoubleO
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Is a - 4 hit worth it? I have yarmelenko and kane up front. Thinking of changing to stancu/Nolito and Bale

        1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          It might be worth it.

          • 14 Years

          Wait until Long and Lukaku score tomorrow before you make your decision

          1. Ayew Serious
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            I'd be surprised if Lukaku played, let alone scored.

            But yes, Long goal is certainty

            1. DoubleO
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Don't fancy lukaku and I'm not sure long can penetrate the beast Italian defence
