Then I’m just bad at estimating.
The Guardian says 60 Spain, 40 France.
Saliba out with an injury. That’s a blow.
Wasn’t that a clear handball by Yamal before the foul that cost the penalty ?
No. Wasn’t deliberate and it didn’t make the body bigger. Also basically the edge of his shoulder which is legal anyway.
That was a wonderful attack by Spain. Surprised Yamal didn’t shoot!
Spain with a near miss! Interception up the field leads to a five-pass sequence ending in a shot from a near-post run. Corner to Spain.
Does it have to be deliberate? And it was closer to the elbow than the shoulder.
Deliberate or making his body bigger.
Yeah, he kept his arm tucked in tight to his body and really only turned his body to mitigate damage from the kick. A handling call there would have been harsh.
Odd they whistled that offside; I think Mbappe was on and you can always bring it back if you get it wrong and France scores.
Spain’s midfield is sooo good, but my heart stops every time France get the ball.
France has held the ball a minute and a half. Somebody get Snarky_Kong a defibrillator!
A masterclass in how to control a game from Spain so far.
Yeah. 0.04xG on the half for France. Other than a handful of misplaced passes (Simon missed an easy one to Ruiz late that led to danger) this has been nearly perfect for Spain
i’m at the office and depending on y’all.
and y’all did not tell me it was spain 1- france 0.
France playing like they barely know each other. And yeah, Digne looks overwhelmed against Yamal.
All the defibrillators in the world are reserved for tomorrow.
The 2022 final felt like it was wrapped up at half and then Mbappe happened. We’ll see if he can repeat.
I do wonder if he’s holding back a little until Spanish defense tires a bit. Of course, that penalty wouldn’t have been part of calculus.
