Feel sorry for Spain but I started to detect the cracks emerging last week, after they lost to Japan. Henrique seemed incredibly wound up during a Q&A press conference last night too.
France is different level. I don't see that anybody can beat them. But England and Brasil only two who can scrape a win thereIf we can beat France, I fancy us to get to the final. Come on you lionssss
They should have started the game the way they finished it in extra time. All that sustained attacks would have paid off I'm sure in the end. Too cautious for nearly 90 mins with all the talent they have..Won't be easy for Portugal or Switzerland.
Spain out three times in a row on pens. Probably should try more to win during the 90 mins
Route one into the box football would have created way more chances for Spain.This focus on pass and move football drives me nuts. They are so feckin good at it as well so it’s basica
lly 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.
EDIT: You're right. Thought they were the other side of the group.If they can get to playing Brazil they would be made up. That would mean making the final.
Same problem as GermanySpain should focus on producing some goalscoring forwards instead of so many technical midfielders.
They missed a Torres/Villa so much in this game.
It's not easy in the Iberian peninsula. See Portugal as wellSpain should focus on producing some goalscoring forwards instead of so many technical midfielders.

Croatia is anything but easy.Brazil and Portugal have got it so easy towards the semi's compared to the other side of the knockouts
Hoping for a Switzerland win. Let's get another upset.Wide open for Portugal now
dude you are so weirdly obsessed with him, its really, really odd. all of your posts revolve around CR7I am glad that Morocco got through but Diva no7 having open route to 1/2 final killing my mood
Wide open forWide open for Portugal now
What we saw from Spain is an absolute collapse in the penalty shootout. I don't recall a top team missing like that in a big game.The commentator said that Spain's players practiced their pens a lot. However, you cannot recreate this moment in training. No one can prepare you for the pressure in this scenario.
In the end Morocco had the right tactics, Bore everyone with all the defending and then get into the next round by winning their pen shootout
Passing the ball between your centre backs and midfielders for 80 minutes of a game doesn't seem as potent without Iniesta and David Silva around.Spain were shit in Russia too, it’s like they didn’t learn any lessons from 2018.
Croatia is anything but easy.
