Watching Spain vs Italy
Winner will play England or Denmark. We'll find that out tomorrow.
It has been a very entertaining Euro2020 so far.

But, yes, Spain were horrendous in the final third, and Italy wasn't allowed much time there to begin with.
The teams had met 6 times previously in the Euros. Each had 2 wins, plus 2 draws. Seems appropriate that this one went to PK's.
Before the shootout, Chiellini gave a masterclass in psyching out Jordi Alba 
I noticed the interaction before the penalty toss. If I were Jordi Alba, I might have been tempted to knock Chiellini's block off at that bit of patronising Italian gamesmanship.
