[Football] Euros 2024 - Semi Final - Spain vs France

[zefarelly]

They play some good football Spain, but there is too much falling over and play acting that really spoils the game.

They're Spanish . . . it's in their DNA

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

According to @Kinky Gerbil they will look like England when they sit back and defend.

Well, they haven't been great sitting back have they?

 

[dangull]

Have to say Cucu has done ok in a team that looks likely to get to the final. Probably a winners medal if he is up against England.

If we get to the final, go behind and have to endure their playacting for the rest of the game, there's going to be some very angry people in the pubs.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I was challenging Micah Richard’s assertion, and your agreement, that England’s woes are due to lack of balance. It’s way more than this

Well, a large amount of pundits seem to think it's one of, if not the main reason....

 

[Bry Nylon]

So Spain get either England or Netherlands in the final

UEFA may as well give them the trophy now and see if they can get a refund on the stadium hire for Sunday.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Well, they deserved it. They're better than us, but a final against them wouldn't be a foregone conclusion if we win tomorrow.

 

[Weststander]

Cringy BBC commentary from another hyperbole bullshitter. Span’s display was masterful. In the last 15 minutes when most leading teams get nervous, Spain were still creating and taking the p. Yet the BBC berk went full blown Jonathan Pearce as nothing French headers and shots sailed 10 feet over the crossbar.

Yep, their only real moment of serious alarm was the Mbappe run

 

[Eeyore]

I thought Cucurella looked like a £60m player there.

Whereas if the Dutch win, we're on for a cracker of a final?

 

[Weststander]

The high decibels and unjustifed wnkfest from the BBC prat. Totally unrepresentative of the game he was watching.

By contrast, the honest studio team just described the Mbappe cross as their only highlight of the entire game.

 

[Han Solo]

That Spain team is winning this whole thing. Hopefully.

I thought France were below par , and apart from the 5 min spell when Spain got their 2 goals , Spain didn’t create another clear cut chance , Typical BBC commentator going overboard about the Spanish

 

[tigertim68]

Never gave the ball away , looked a good player

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I thought Cucurella looked like a £60m player there.

To be fair, and it hurts to say it, but he has looked very good in this tournament

 

[Winker]

This Yamal lad. Only 16? Seems like a failure of our recruiting department to not have him on our books.

Thought our whole strategy was built around singing Wunderkind? Really dropped the ball there.

16? - no-one has mentioned that all game!

Did you notice that Jenas (?) said after the whistle 'It was a pleasure to be part of this game' or somesuch nonsense. What an absolute plum, delusional on the scale of John Terry.

 

[timbha]

Never gave the ball away , looked a good player

You can be a good player AND a little sh**

 

[Pavilionaire]

Mbappe vs Spain's resetve right back, Dembele vs Cucurella. France should have done a lot better tonight.
