is there a stat for needless passes in a game. Spain have passed the ball about 300 times too much.
All I see there is a cowardly team where nobody wanted to take the responsibility and a manager who had no answer to the low block, hell the ball wasnt put into their box at all it seems.
This focus on pass and move football drives me nuts. They are so feckin good at it as well so it’s basically pointless for teams to go higher and put pressure on them, unless it’s a top quality side. Just kills all the fun in football.

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
Why on Earth do managers bring players on just to miss penalties!?

He missed a golden chance to win the game and then missed his pen. And you could see in his eyes he was gonna miss.

And then the next guy he brought on misses as well.

Awful from Enrique - he’s Southgated it completely.

That might be the worst penalty in a knock out I've ever seen, you knew he was gonna miss by his walk up.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Why are they hitting the penalties so softly? I don't think I have seen anyone smash one.
