Dugout Discussion – Italy vs Spain

The Round of 16 is concluded today with a couple more fixtures for Fantasy managers to consider.

First up at 5pm, Italy take on Spain for the right to meet Germany in the quarter-finals.

Both sides will be looking to bounce back from respective defeats to Republic of Ireland and Croatia in the final round of group matches.

Having swept aside Belgium and Sweden in their first couple of fixtures, Antonio Conte’s men will be confident of overcoming the defending champions, though will need to make do without the injured Antonio Candreva this afternoon.

The stats are somewhat in Spain’s favour for this one, though. Despite scoring just once more than The Azzurri so far, Vicente del Bosque’s side fired more than double the number of attempts on goal (51 to 25) and have allowed their opponents just 27 attempts on goal compared to Italy’s 34.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Why would that be a red?

          A goal was scored so he didn't deny a goal scoring opportunity. And even if he did it the new rules means he wouldn't get a red anyway.

      he's the only true oop threat in this tournament, with likely returns at both sides of the pitch. nailed from day 1 for me.

    How is De Gea at fault there?

    Saves a power shot from the space in the wall. If you expect him to hold onto that shot that's a bit harsh. Spain would be 3-0 down now if it wasn't for him.

      he should've caught it and started a counter attack that Spain would score from.

      He spilt a shot directly at him into the middle of the goal. Should have parried it sideways.
