I was somewhat rooting for the Ukranians simply for the loud home crowd. Oh well. Spain has been the only crowd our opub has gotten that haven't been miserably awful, so I'm rooting for the favorites now on the next round.

Extra guy on the end line. Five yards away. How do you blow that? Sucks for the host nation.

2 clear offsides, and that admittedly very tough call on that amazing save inside the goal. Shades of NBA shoddiness!

It didn't prove to be a critical call, but if the guy standing right there can't get it right, maybe it's time for goal line technology.

Can't wait for the Azzurri to bring back down to earth all the idiotic English fans.
Bubble- burst.

Balotelli's volley was nasty, but the great ZLATAN is on some next level [expletive] right here.

Not enough post-goal muzzling.
