[Olympic football] France 3 Spain 5 FT

[ohsee]

Spain is good

Their technique on the ball is something else!

If we are not careful, they will win Wol Cup in USACanadaMexico.

As long as a penalty shootout is not involved. Spain are even worse than the Dutch at PK shootouts

No. I think it will be Brazil’s turn in two years time

My bros, I no sabi oh. My view is dat Brazil no go win Wol Cup lai-lai, ever again, and never. They have lost that magic to European teams like France and Spain. Spain has taken over from Brazil as the most exciting football team in the world.

I agree it seems like France and Spain are supreme right now, but I strongly believe these things go in cycles. Like when Brazil finally broke through in 1994 after a 24 year dry spell. Incidentally it will be 24 years in 2026 since Brazil last lifted Wol Cup … and Wol Cup will be played in the Americas. All the 3 continental American World Cups have been won by Brazil or Argentina.

Brazil have to be favorites.

OK, God willing, we go see. As long as they no try to be the European team that they are not. They have been struggling to imitate European teams for decades now, without success.

French defense was crap. All Spain’s goals were a result of poor defending. Spain could have scored more but they started rushsing shots in the second half instead of patiently waiting for the hapless French to open up their yansh.

That penalty give away by Spain was amateur hour.

Someone please do a wellness check on Kablablalega! He is actually talking sense about football for the first time in CE history!

[Undertaker]

Has Spain ever lost a final, other than against Cameroun in Sydney Olympics

They lost the 1984 Euros to France!

[Coach]

Predictable outcome.

As for Brazil winning the next World Cup, they’ll receive a biblical flogging the moment they meet their conquistadors.

Spain struggles vs South American teams especially the ones with black players. Brazil will deal with Spain like their women did at the Olympics.

I don't think Spain have ever beaten Brazil in an important game. Brazil has more trouble with physical teams like France, Netherlands and Germany. If they can avoid at least 2 of those teams, they will be fine.

Old school Brazil will deal with all these overhyped Euro teams. The only struggle with France because of their African mercenaries. If Brazil goes back to its roots they will reawaken from their slumber and put all these Euro teams and Argentina in their proper place. They used to flogging Germany in friendlies and Germany always tried to avoid them. Then 2014 happened. Their women's team are playing real Brazilian ball and see how they handled Spain. Just go back to your roots. Nigeria needs to do the same.

Ummm. I am not so sure this is true. Brazil.is always one of the best teams in the world but so is Spain and the latter have an awesome system. I wouldn't be so quick to proclaim that Brazil will handle them

My broda, when the chips are down, Brazil always handles Spain. That's what the football records say.

[joao]

Brazilian players lose focus due to showboating and exaggerated ball caressing.
The game has moved past their emotional style of play. The Germans do not have
Brazil's talented ball jogglers, but have a better chance to beat them 4 out of 5 times.
Spain plays as a team and spreads the field better than Brazil.

[YUJAM]

What records? The ones I've seen are ancient because they haven't met more than a handful of times and most of it happened a long time ago. It's a new day in football. I'd throw those ancient records out of the window

Thanks YUJAM, most wanabe football fans, like people who reminisce on past
kings and kingdoms, refuse to face the reality of a changed sports world.
There is parity within football nations, and only those associations with foresight
great planning, and focused talents can be considered true competitors in the new order.

Football history is powerful. To give an example, Brazil have not beaten France at a competition for decades now. You think that doesn't weigh on the Brazilians every time they meet France? To give another example, Nigeria have never beaten Argentina at the World Cup in 5 attempts, not even a single draw achieved. You can bet Nigerian players are more than apprehensive every time they meet Argentina at the World Cup. Players are human.
