That looks about as strong as France could be based on there squad. Midfield pretty defensive though
Spain relying on a Saudi defender, old man Carvajal and Mr Needs a rest Rodri to get through extra time.... wild they took off Yamal so earlier. Could go down as a bigger disaster than Pekerman not playing Messi in 2006... the game started turning the second he came off.
A proper 50/50 heavy weight game, feels like it's been ages since we've seen this
Despite how good they are their defence is shaky and Morata really ruins what is, otherwise, a great attack.
Good second half.
It's bad news if you're relying on a 16 year old as your only outlet
If Spain lose this, it's all on their manager.
Second half lived up to the hype. Extra time should be a bit mental, very excite.
It will be another borefest, guaranteed
I expect Germany to get the winner in extra time.
Still fancy Spain to go through. Andrich in central defence is bad
Unless he does something unheard of like headbutting the biggest wanker on Spain's team for some reason.
Spain will feel they've let this slip when the Germans inevitably do what Germany do. Such a strange last 25 minutes tactically.
Taking both wingers was a big mistake.
Age is but a number. He's that good
Spain seem to have taken the Southgate approach since scoring.
Germany may win this in ET, momentum now in their favour.
Just shows you that at all levels pace on the wings beats everything. Can't wait until the inside forward nonsense dies.
Williams is also an outlet for them but he is also on the bench.
ET. Spain was so close. You have to feel the Germans will advance now.
Having morata as you main man doesn't help either.
Poor decisions from him.
Spain are going out and it’s on them
Spain didn't manage a single counter attack the last 10 min before conceding. Makes one wonder whether Germany should have been more daring earlier?
Kroos should have been sent off
Still fancy Spain to go through. Andrich in central defence is bad

Yeah my betfor champions were spain. Just felt like to pull out a Lineker quote
I think camavinga can change it up . He can do both for me
Spain are going to lose.
Taking off Williams and Yamal completely freed Germany's FBs. Horrible decision from the Spanish coach.
You look at that front three and think it looks like fireworks. Then you see what is on the pitch to get the ball to them and the attitude quickly changes. None of the 3 midfielders are bad players obviously, but there just seems no guile or proper creativity in there
Hi Gary :wave:
Muller the best player on pitch will win this!
De la Fuente made the substitutions mechanically without thinking about what was happening. He should have at least left Nico. Now try to get to penalties or balls to Joselu.
Given the proclivities of Deschamps I’m not sure he’ll have licence. I reckon all three French midfielders will be man marking
Spain's manager messed up. He subbed off Yamal far too early and went defensive.
He's not. He's very good but he isn't as good as some people like to make him out to be, and it would be extremely weird for a 16 year old to be a complete player. He might become an excellent player but people like to big up young players who look promising.
Mbappe just shat on them by saying he misses Pogba's ability to pass the ball directly to him over the top
To be honest Spain didn't create much. Apart of their goal I only remember the chance for Morata just after the break.
Shows how bad Spains forward options are if he's still in the team
