Euro: Round of 16 - Spain v. Georgia - Jun. 30
- Thread starter bluesfan94
- Start date
Nice finish from Olmo.
Feel for Georgians. Enough shit going on for them to have their hopes dashed.
Don’t let this result fool you. Spain are soft at the back and lack a reliable striker. Still one of the best teams left, but not invincible.

We don't need both, we have Lamine covering the right flank for the next 20 years.
Spain needs to find a way to incorporate Olmo in the starting lineup. Maybe that Fabregas fake 9 position.
We need cover on both flanks, but we’re likely not going to be able to offload Ferran or Raphinha anytime soon. I’d prioritize Nico and in the meantime get Felix on a cheap loan again. Kvara will cost too much anyway.
You can feel for France tonight as well.
Our team tomorrow will be cheered by millions of people asking for them to go back to the country of their parents or grand parents if they hadn't played football.

Georgia isnt at a tournament level. It's the reality of a 24 team tournament that teams like that get in unfortunately.

I doubt Georgia would have gotten through if Portugal still had something to play for in their last game but they did not.

Well yeah, if they play Portugal first, then Turkey then Czechs, they probably crash out with 0 or 1 points. It's ironic that Portugal basically hand delivered Spain such an easy Rd of 16 match.

~75% ball possesion . Georgia was only able to muster anything in counter attacks off Spanish mistakes . Most of the game was played around Georgias box.

Isn't the situation pretty much the same in Belgium too, so that's not a reason to choose France over Belgium.

In Belgium some have the heretic thought that Dutch-speaking immigrants might be preferable to French-speaking Belgians.

We definitely have a lot of parallels heading into the QFs
Yes, fair point. Still I think you a striker, albeit maybe on the bench, who might bag a goal.
You keep telling me that, but there be only one.
Belgium has the genius idea of not allowing racist ideas on TV. Thus making fascists nowhere to be seen in elections. So no.

Perhaps with the rise of the Flemish independence parties amongst the biggest ones, we will see two separate football national teams in the near future. Would solve a lot of other decades-long disputes at the same time.
Hopefully the process goes as smoothly as the break-up of Czechoslovakia.
