Pretty dull first half between Uruguay and Colombia. Cannot recall either keeper making a save. Not even any cynical fouls from Uruguay. Hopefully 2nd half better.

I stuck them on mute or I was putting my boot through the TV.

Denmark win 3rd quarter final 2-1. Playing winner of Ukraine v England in semi finals.

Czech’s back into the game against Danes with another Schick goal.

Fell a sleep before the Brazil v Chile game started but it finished 1-0. Red card for Jesus was a belter. Highlights below.

What a finish to the Peru v Paraguay game. Paraguay had equalised at start of second half. Peru went 3-2 up with 9 minutes to go but then had Carrillo sent off with 5 minutes left. Paraguay then equalised in injury time to send game to penalties which Peru won 4-3. Highlights below if anyone’s interested.

Paraguay just reduced down to 10 men for second yellow card for Gomez the captain. First yellow for dissent looked right but second yellow looked really harsh. Looked like Gomez was going to punch the ref when he was sent off and had l to be held back by his team mates. He was still in the tunnel waiting for ref at half time and had to be moved on by his manager. Proper Copa game.

First of the Copa quarter finals on BBC iPlayer just now. Peru currently 2-1 up on Paraguay after 40 minutes. Peru were 1-0 down after 10 minutes. Brazil V Chile at 1am tonight, Uruguay v Colombia and Argentina v Ecuador tomorrow make up rest of quarter final line up.

That was a brilliant game between the two best teams in the Tournament. Italy should go on to win this now but injury to Spinazzola could be an issue. Doku for Belgium looked a player and didn’t deserve to be on the losing side.

2-1 now. Belgium back into it from the spot Lukaku.

2-0 Italy with a great strike from Insigne.

1-0 Italy. Great finish by Barella.

Belgium v Italy been excellent so far. End to end stuff.

Spain win 3-1 on penalties.

Penalties in Spain v Switzerland game.

Switzerland down to 10. Another one that would not even have been a foul a couple of years ago never mind a red card. It’s almost a non contact sport now.

Complete fuck up at the back by Spain and it’s 1-1.

Spain 1-0 up on Switzerland.

Everton appoint Benitez. Their fans are not pleased to say the least.

Spurs appoint ex Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santos. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57669973

Think Denmark are only hope of England not getting to final as cannot see Ukraine beating them from what I saw last night.

France out on penalties. Mbappe missing last penalty for French. Big shock.

France v Switzerland goes to penalties.
