Got to be Spain surely... the only thing Russia have going for them is home advantage.

You'd really have to only fancy Spain in this game, as average as they've been this tournament so far but the cynic in me thinks the referees might have been paid a handsome sum by Putin himself to throw this in Russia's favour, much like with South Korea in 2002.

I think this will be a comfortable win for Spain. I would love for this match to go all the way to penalties though!

I'm expecting Russia to be packing their bags, after a Spain win, I should imagine. It probably end up 4-2 to Spain

A bizarre own goal giving Spain the lead there.

Russia equalize from the penalty spot. Why on earth did you have your hand there Gerard.

This Spain team are weak by their usual standards. I'm quite surprised actually by how bad they've been, only topping their group with 5 points and now struggling against Russia.

First match to go to extra time - still expect Spain to take it but I'm not ruling Russia out.

Looks like this has got penalties written all over it, Russia are playing with 11 men behind the ball and are absolutely knackered. Spain can't find any penetration.

You would think Spain would have creamed them in 90 minutes. Spain most likely win on penalties

Surely that was a penalty? If Spain get kicked out then that will be very controversial.

And Spain are the only country to lose a penalty shoot-out to England.

A gift to anyone accusing Putin of dirty tricks.
