He hasn’t seen the ball enough, he didn’t really have the option to hold back.
Don’t remind me, I have nightmares about that from which I wake up covered in cold sweat.
I don’t like Olise as a CAM, put the man back on the right and let him cook.
On that PK call, leaving the handball discussion aside, it looked to me like the defender was already in his kicking motion and the forward jumped in front of him and ran into his leg.
In the semis, it seems crazy to just give Spain a goal for that iffy call.
ETA: Heh. Now they’re showing a greatest-dives sequence by Spain just from this game.
You might think it’s soft but it’s a stone cold penalty.
I agree, that gets called every time.
Madridistas have been saying that the Argentina gets favored by the refs, I wonder if they’ll complain about this…
Haha! Fat chance.
ETA: France is passing as bad as the Americans right now. Jeez, that pass back to the goalie? Around the box? Terrible.
Beautiful give-and go at the top of the box springs Pedro Porro one-on-one with the goalie. 2-0
Spain just scored and leads 2-0. 58’
oh dear…
thank y’all!
Good example of being in the right place at the right time.
What a tournament player Olmo is
Disagree. To me that implies chance, this was the plan
Yeah, Dani Olmo is extremely valuable for Spain’s game, even if he doesn’t score himself.
Agree. That was a tremendous give-and-go, brilliantly executed.
Yamal almost gets a third, but he was offside in the runup.
Remember the World Cup final in 2022 when France came back from 2-0 down. That wasn’t against this Spanish side though.
Digne is just hopeless against yamal 1v1
Not looking good for France…
