Group D now draws to a conclusion in Tuesday’s final pair of fixtures.

Spain go up against Croatia tonight as the defending champions look to extend their 100% record on the back of wins over Czech Republic and Turkey.

Vicente del Bosque’s men still need a point to top the group and avoid slipping to second place, where they’d be pitted against the winners of Group E, which looks likely to be Italy.

Croatia, meanwhile, are still reeling from a late capitulation against Czech Republic which saw them throw away a two-goal advantage with just 15 minutes left on the clock.

Turkey and Czech Republic go head-to-head in the other match. Fatih Terim’s men are one of only three sides yet to find the net in Euro 2016 and with just two shots on target, it’s fair to say they need to improve their shooting to stand any chance of progressing.

Bearing in mind that both sides were ranked in the bottom three for shots conceded inside the box after the first two rounds of fixtures, though, Fantasy managers will be optimistic of goals in the penultimate night of the group stages.

  13. Jay_

    3 yards of his line

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      10 years, 4 months ago

      And what?
      Happens

      1. TJ_777
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Retake if you come of your line, but they never call it

        1. Jonny HOW SON?
          10 years, 4 months ago

          The keepers should have that little advantage at least

          1. TJ_777
            10 years, 4 months ago

            That's y it isn't called. There is a funny MLS video where the ref calls it 3 times in a row and the guy finally scores on the third try

    2. TJ_777
      10 years, 4 months ago

      They don't call it unfortunately

    3. puddingbrood
      10 years, 4 months ago

      They never call it anyway. It won't be long before they reach the 6 yard line.

    4. Dubem_FC
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I remember an EPL in which Lampard had to take a peno thrice against West ham. Though that was coz of encroachment by players

  14. Norman Conquest
    10 years, 4 months ago

    lol at ramos owners

    1. Lallana_
      10 years, 4 months ago

  15. tm245
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Wow.

  16. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    10 years, 4 months ago

    He's so far off his line???

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

  17. Ziro
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry windmillianffflllwyn

  18. tm245
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hoobastank was almost at the 6 by the time he took the shot, but that was a delicate penalty call.

  19. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 4 months ago

    hat are the refs on the line for if they dont call that to be re-taken

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      10 years, 4 months ago

      So many keepers get away with it as well.

    Anybody know who would take a Croatia PK with Modric and Mandzukic not playing?

    1. TJ_777
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Kalinic mayb

    2. KingZamalek
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rakitic of course.

  21. Ziro
    10 years, 4 months ago

    The reason they get far off the line is penalty takers delaying by stuttering. Should just hit it normally. Not a fan of the stutter.

    1. puddingbrood
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It's allowed as long as you don't stop. Which is logical cause how would you ever define a stutter.

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 4 months ago

      True but one is against the rules, one isn't.

  22. Paul Psychic Octopus
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Clearly well off his line and it should be retaken,

    But WTF Spain doing letting that clown take pens? Thought Iniesta was on pens

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      10 years, 4 months ago
