The Round of 16

[Yorkie]

Maroc gonna Greece this thing?

[LionOfGosforth]

Enrique humble in defeat but Spain can get in the bin with that style like, glad they're out.

More utter trash. I've hardly seen one good penalty yet.

Busquets especially was rubbish. Neymar, Balotelli, Jorginho, etc. are fantastic with their technique at penalties, but I do not know why every player thinks they should copy these players who have a special ability. For the average player, the best tactic is to simply pick a side and hit it with a good amount of pace. You will score 60+% of the time if you do this. Hard to understand.

[Holloway]

Wonderful, emotional scenes 

[cubaricho]

Ronaldo benched too?

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Storm Cueta!

Hopefully.

 

Far more quality than Greece had, fwiw. 

 

[nufcjb]

This is just pure emotional seeing scenes like this.

Also, even if it gets saved or your blast it off the bar, you look less of a prick than if you do a meandering three step mosey up to the ball and pass it harmlessly into the keepers arms.

Mid to high, ffs. I just looked at our pens we scored in the league cup - Joelinton mid-to-high with power to his left. Trippier the same. Wood top right. Botman shot high middle (saved with GK's trailing hand) and Bruno's was skied over high and left. 

 

Wouldn't surpise me at all if Howe coaches them to hit it with pace and high. 

[JumpersForGoalposts]

Diabolical pens and goalkeeping. As others have said, WTF are they doing in training?!

 

Especially the keeper. Absolute hologram.

 

I hope England watched that and decide to actually practice pels, to avoid another shitshow like the Euros final.

[Rich]

Howay Fab, let's have the best day of the tournament yet.

[Unbelievable]

Spain man WTF

When you fail to score a single penalty you really have to question what the fuck they were practicing in training.

Enrique brought on his pen specialists too 

[Kasper]

Unai Simon did really well to get out of the way before the penalty taker had even reached the ball.

[Kimbo]

It’s amazing how penalty shootouts can turn players into mush. Everything is in the takers favour, but they temporarily lose all talent and may as well be a random off the street.

The look he had on his face was like "wtf are you doing?"

 

[kenlau88210]

Schar in the starting lineup!

[HaydnNUFC]

3-0 on pens. Absolutamente terminado.

If sexy Fabian knocks the biggest cunt in world football out and basically ends his chances of ever winning the world cup I will ascend to a new plane of existence. 

[Kanj]

Fab outside of the box thunderbastard to win it would be pure bliss 

[Segun Oluwaniyi]

I do not have any more particular dislike for these countries than any other part of the world, but it would be absolutely delightful if the entire Iberian Peninsula was sent home tonight. 

[number37]

I, for one, can't wait for the statshaggers to ruin Morocco's win by saying if matches were determined by some imaginary metric then Spain would have won instead.
