Euro: Semifinals - Spain v. France - July 9

[Power Man]

Nico too unselfish

 

[Live in the Now]

So many good chances to shoot there.

 

[Blender]

If your choices are too shoot yourself or pass to Morata, you always shoot.

 

[maclean]

France choking or Spain deserving it? (I am at work)

I'd say neither? Spain started off better, then France took over, then Spain came firing back, no telling what's coming next, let's hope lots more fun though

 

[Evilo]

I haven't seen Neymar play in so long that I don't remember. I however doubt it.

You'd be wrong. Neymar works much harder than Mbappe or Messi for example.

 

[Jack Straw]

This may not have come out the way you intended.

Seeing Cucurella get the ball in a good position then turn and pass it back/side instead of to the winger or trying to dribble past someone triggers me as a Chelsea fan constantly having to watch that.

Preach.

He's not great at providing width, I much prefer when he is used inverted and ends up as another midfielder. In that spot his passing has been lethal.

 

[Live in the Now]

It's really strange watching a team with an offensive weapon like Theo not even use him as such.

 

[maclean]

This may not have come out the way you intended.

Exactly how I read it too

 

[CasusBelli]

“Hey, I know our crosses haven’t been getting in since we scored, but I have a great idea: how about another cross!”

 

[N o o d l e s]

This may not have come out the way you intended.

I feel like it’s still a valid point

Jesus Navas made his debut for Spain in 2009 when his teammate Yamal was 2 years old.

france playing an insanely defensively line-up and still getting cut like butter when spain choose to break forward

Worse: I remember watching it

Cucurella is really in trouble now.

 

[CasusBelli]

Navas looks like a tanned anorexic Chris Kreider with color contacts.

France needs to make some adjustments at the half. For how defensive this lineup is, they are getting exposed badly.

 

[NyQuil]

I assume everyone is hearing the weird sirens.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Goal today basically clinches Yamal winning Player of the Tournament, I gotta think.

Maybe they'll sub Grimaldo on so we can see him and Williams together on the left side I can only dream.

Fabian Ruiz

 

[luiginb]

Another vote for Ruiz BEFORE this game. Let's see how I rate them afterwards

 

[Evilo]

Not even the best Spanish player.

Anyway Spain has hardly won the tournament yet.

You do realize France has as many shots and shots on target?

 

[OKR]

France ain’t creating one chance with this midfield, zero creativity.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Anyway Spain has hardly won the tournament yet.

I'm not necessarily saying I would give it to him. I'm just talking about the narrative.

And in a tourney where there have been few individual standouts, I don't see this as being a tournament where the MVP is necessarily on the Champion.
