Germany have nullified Pedri really well.

Erm he’s managing the German NT…
Are Germany aware that offsides exist?
I can imagine a silly goal throughout the tournament because of those constant back passes to Unai Simón.
Ref is allowing anything against Musiala it appears.
England have the players to play this way, but not the manager. Even your bench players like Maddison and Foden could easily play this style of football but you guys have a Stone age manager.
They do it too much when it isn't needed and end up putting their goalkeeper under pressure.
It is not very good excuse not to post on Caf during the game!
He's taken his daughters boyfriend off.
Great news for Germany, Morata is coming on.
I don't think England fans are unaware. Makes it all the more frustrating
Morata on. 0-0 full time.
See you tomorrow folks!
See you tomorrow folks!
If I were Enrique my final words to Morata would be "Don't be a fanny"
This guy is surprisingly dangerous against German teams.
Neuer 
Morata on.. feels like there is real lack of quality number 9s in world football judging by this world cup
Today he has a reason, lose and they most likely will be knocked out. Im sure he will post after the game.
Son in law Torres off and the Prodigal Son Morata is on.
Good save but Simon is a liability.
Almost now
PC Shearer, the co-commentator who can tell whether a goals offside before VAR.
Thank God Spain have a ball-playing goalkeeper
Has to take the only Spanish player in my Fantasy Football team 
Is Simon meant to be good with his feet? He’s constantly getting them into trouble.
Great save but Simon put himself in danger with a poor pass. Germany pressing well. Spain allergic to kicking it long
De Gea-esque passing
Some serious pressing by the Germans.
He is being put under pressure by his own players with their obsession to play it around at the back. There is a time and a place.
Spain is playing with fire with all of these moves near their box.
Unai is such a show off
That's a defender issue. I just think players should be allowed to 'brawl' more in situations like this and be allowed some leniency regarding offside for the sake of spectacle and fun. Offside should just be feet. If you manage to get into a better position and play the ball off head or shoulder or whatever then more power to you.
As someone else said, offside was created to prevent strolling around behind the defence and just pinging balls there, not for cm advantages.
I had money on Ferran to score as well, prick!
Both these goalkeepers have looked dodgy while trying to project ultra calmness.
The diving from Spain is insufferable.
Shearer doing radio comms on the telly
There definitely is and that was clear even before the World Cup. I wonder if it's down to top teams demanding much more from their forwards now than just goals. There seem to be very few who can offer that but still have the movement and predatory finishing of a lethal striker.
Who was that German player crossing to their reserves?
Hasn’t turned into a particularly great game. Could have done with that early Olmo shot going in.
Yep... and judging by the transfer market you get the same feeling. There's like 5 great strikers in the world and a thousand mediocrities.
