[Euro 2024] Spain 2(Olmo, Lamine) France 1 (Kolo)

[SylverEagles]

Hmm, Spain now up to their usual tricks...Rolling on the floor with every contact.

[Sleaky72]

These Spanish players are playing their hearts out but too many bodies are dropping.
This is gonna be a death March till full time.

[airwolex]

Barcola is a baller.

Mbappes finishing, like most strikers in this tournament has been terrible

[Coach]

Yep. Absolutely hopeless. France looking like an energised Ivory Coast. Erratic. Spain playing their emotions like a fiddle.

Bring. Them. On.

[Sleaky72]

Rodri keep the ball, Pendejo!

[Bigpokey24]

The Spanish Manager was very smart this time , left on the two brothers on , they dealt with France . Massive game for them

[Sleaky72]

Lamine Yamal, if Spain hold on may be in the running for player of the tournament

[packerland]

This Hernandez guy is useless going forward. What a chance.

He is one of the best in the world going forward. Just having an off night like everyone with a french uniform on.

[txj]

Spain reset with the false 9 formation

[Coach]

Where’s Big Chris Dugarry when you need him!

[Sleaky72]

Cmon ref blow the whistle

[felarey]

Spain should have done this to Germany, it's clear they are a tad above the rest in this tournament.

[SylverEagles]

End of the line!!

[Sleaky72]

Yes Yes.
Viva Espana.
Bueno Bueno
Au Revoir little bus Parker

[airwolex]

Mbappe killed France. Awful finishing throughout the tournament. Dembele has no end product. Spain deserved winners.

[txj]

Spain's summer of cucurellas continues on to Berlin...

[txj]

Nacho cheese!!!

What a dependable player to have in your team...

[airwolex]

Lol Morata has one goal. Strikers going extinct.

[Man Ataye]

Good going Spain. In to your 5th final ever. We go see who dem get later.

[Coach]

Big Ivan Toney.
Big Marc Guehi.
Big Ezri Konsa.
Bobs and Barrys. Liams and Lennys.
Ballemos!

One interesting thing I noticed and enjoyed during the match, which I heard quite a lot over the last few weeks --

- i watched a video where Pep spoke about the importance of players being "very close to each other on the pitch," and concentrate on shorter passes.

- when i went to watch Uruguay play, I heard Bielsa shouting at the players to come closer to the ball.

- I saw a video of Maresca at Chelsea's training yesterday, asking the players to "keep position," "calm down, dont rush" "stay close"

- Watching spain and seeing how close they are to the ball, making small triangles when they pass, which completely draws the opponents out and creates spaces behind.

Very fascinating! I remember watching Belgium last week and I noticed how far away their players were from the ball and most of their passes seemed very long. And it caused them to lose possession quite often.

[airwolex]

I am sick and tired of this Dembele fella. So much potential only to mess things up. Barcola did so much more, Spain deserved this, clearly the best team this tourney. They will beat a combined Holland and England beat 11.

Spain should have done this to Germany, it's clear they are a tad above the rest in this tournament.

I think they learned from that game. My word did they manage this 2HF...

Only chance France had was the Mbappe miss...
