I expect a better second half... Spain are slowly getting into their groove (last 15 minutes), and at some point Italy will attack them harder.... the last 30 minutes of this (so far tactical) game should be interesting.
What was it 12 shots to 2? Not naive just observant. Yes Spain are a little cautious but who can blame them? Italy are playing anti-football.
