Man f*** this earth how are Greece through and Croatia not. They were great, going to be literally mad as hell because Croatia didn't go through

A different kind of pasty
Thats what I thought. Iniesta wasn't when the ball was played, but Navas definitely was, and surely interferring withn play as he got the ball from Iniesta

I thought the same - have the commentators or pundits even mentioned it? Shame Croatia are out and the boring Italians are through.

You are only intefering if you recieve the ball from the initial pass.

At the last WC Spain vs Germany was like a training game. Spain utterly dominated them. But no doubt Germany will decimate them this time round.

To be fair to the Greeks, they did beat Russia so probably deserved it. They and the Czechs will be the poorest teams to qualify tho - and trust the lucky Germans to get Greece in the quarters whereas if England qualify we'll most likely get Spain.

But that's just not true about the Italians in this tournament is it. Traditionally boring yes, but this time around they always look to get forward and are in fact quite exciting to watch. This really was the group of death and not the other one as it turns out, what with Holland being so disappointing.
I agree, shame Croatia are out, but one of these three had to go and on balance, Spain & Italy deserve to progress. It's been a superb group to watch.

Decimate? No doubt.I'm confident Spain would win.m
Spain have not been great this tournament, sure they are good enough to beat most teams in it but I think Germany will be too good.

Many teams have won tournaments off the back of awful performances.

Under Fifa guidelines/interpretations, Albion Dan is correct but it goes against the grain that someone running in on goal is in an offside position and gaining an advantage from it.

Germany and Italy usually do enough to just qualify but then pick up the pace as the tournament progresses.
