"Spanish media had a very harsh words for Vincente del Bosque, the head coach of the national team for the lack of poise on offensive end against Italy in the first game of the reigning champion of the World and Europe.Spain will win this game." (quote MK, LiveGamesTips).

Well, for me that means Spain -1.5 for -120 odds
I am also adding to that Italy -0.25 for +102.5 odds

The second round is where the pewerhouses show their strength to to make sure their advancement to the next round so they can rest some of their starters in the third round and get ready for the Quarterfinals.

just not sure if spain can rest some of their starters in the third round (i dont think they can and i dont think they will)
but yes, spain will win

Italy is also a strong play IMO since each time they are not expected to do anything - they do. They played well against the Spaniards and were not far from taking all the points. Croatia, on the other hand is totally dependant on Luka Modric and the team like Italy knows too well how to eliminate one single player

I'm taking Spain -1.5 and Italy ML.
