kudos to the Russians. They got all their penalties. The pressure must have been immense. Highly negative from both sides. I can understand Russia doing that as they don't have the quality...

Just knew Iniesta would miss that last one. Missed by a mile. Likely his last world cup so a bad way to go out.

I think Iniesta took the first one. It was a brilliant pen. Might have been Koke

fan of spain but they deserved to lose today..spain decided that scoring a second goal was not too important and settled for to much scuttling crab on the beach sideways action with their passing. maybe like me they thought..ah it's only Russia..but then didn't most folk ?.

Russia went for the old 'lets defend for 120mins and hope for the best on pens' approach. (abit like argentina at the 1990 wc. who won 2n rd match 1-0 then qf/sf won on pens)

how on earth did the Dane only get a yellow card for this. Surely that's a straight red?

ah! apparently it's a recent rule change. If you're genuinely going for the ball it's only yellow

It is appalling how much possession they had without a goal. (They one was an OG by Russia, ffs.) Nice for the home fans, I guess. I'll be all-in for Mexico, now.

Horrible game by Spain and even worse the penalties. Germany and Spain out.....who will be the winner? Russia? what?
