Tiresome cliche, with a hint of 'hes black/brown/short/ginger/ugly/corkythecat, therefore he cant play for his country'.

I hope the Ukrainian team is full of ethnic minorities in 20 years. The irony would be great!

Really disappointed with Greece. They proved they are in the quarter finals only because of a stupid head-to-head rule. Expected them to make Germany work hard for win but instead they went down tamely. Still not convinced Germany has that magical touch to win this tournament. Unlike the West Germany of old, Germany has not looked like champions since the unification. They were lucky to win Euro96 but then went downhill until the 2006 World Cup at home. Still they just lack the invincibility like West Germany used to have to win major tournaments.
I think Spain-France match could drag on until the penalties. Both teams seems to be having problem scoring goals. Whoever wins it will find it tough playing against Ronaldo's Portugal. He suddenly seemed to have come alive in this tournament. But Portugal seems to rely entirely on him to progress and this could be their downfall.

Spain to win comfortably tonight. Benzema has been disappointing, Ribery hasn't been much better either. I have been impressed with Debuchy.

No Llorente or any striker again? I hope they get pumped!

Don't blame them. Playing Torres as the striker is as bad as playing without any striker. It is clear the Spain coach has more faith in their midfield than strikers. Just hope this match produces a goal or two and won't drag all the way to the penalty shootout.

Llorente has easily been one of the 10 best strikers in Europe this season and has had a far better couple of years than Torres let alone season. For him to have not even played 1 minute of football so far is a joke!

They wouldn't tbh as he simply doesn't fit their system and especially their style of play. Good player for sure but i get why he's continuously overlooked for Spain.

Surely at the very least he's a good plan B to bring on when they struggle to score? He's an aerial threat for sure and they have the likes of Jesus Navas to fire the crosses in.

Oh for sure. That's exactly why he's been picked for the squad and i definitely think he offers a fantastic Plan B option should things not go according to plan (which is rare for Spain hence him not getting minutes).

I was shocked he didn't get any time against Croatia.

Llorente would be one of the first names you'd choose if we had the option to turn a player English imo (Bale would also be up there). Him behind Rooney would be an awesome combination.
