This should be a real cracker of a game. Two of the bigger sides playing against each other in the 1st round. Spain with their attacking flair and Italy with their strong defence and rapid counter attacking ability. May the best team win.

This should be a more entertaining match. This Spanish have great technique and they past the ball about superbly. Italy are also one of those very efficient sides with a solid defence.

Williams produces a powerful header from Morata's cross right in front of goal, but his header flew narrowly wide. Williams should have done better with that, as it was a big chance for Spain to take the lead.

Williams and Lamal on both wings is a fun watch.

Interesting to think that Pepe, who's still playing for Portugal, was a 25 year old defensive stalwart for the Portuguese national team, when Yamal was born.

Spain have turned up today. 

They're beautiful to watch at full speed. 

They turned up in their first match against Croatia as well. They are a delight to watch, there's a lovely flow to their game and many of their players have excellent technique.

Ayoze Perez on the field. Spain's equivalent of Spurs in the Super League.

Perez has won something though :ph34r:

Convincing from Spain. That was quite convincing over a decent Italy side and an enjoyable watch. 

Glad to see Perez enjoying his football, could have had 2 goals right at the end. 

Pedri was superb for most of the game. Yamal and Williams were too good for the Italian full backs.

Two teams clearly not in the same league, surprisingly.

I think a lot of people have underrated Spain coming into this tournament on the evidence of their first two performances. Miles clear of both France and England who are favourites with the bookies.

The scoreline doesn't reflect the gulf in the performances from the 2 sides. Spain were so much better than Italy. Main criticism will be that they didn't score more. Yamal & Williams were a joy to watch.
