Oyarzabal, Ferran Torres, Mikel Merino, and Joselu. Too mediocre sub options.

What’s the rationale in taking off your two best attacking players so early ?
Ruiz skill earlier
Wow
If you're a fully grown man playing at the biggest tournament of your career and you dye your hair bright pink, it's safe to say you've got a screw loose.Andrich is a clown
The Nico and Lamal subs look very questionable right now
How come Simon starts ahead of Raya? I don’t watch him week to week but he always seems to have a clanger in him for Spain.
It's what wins tournament football imo - and they can afford to be so, with the front line they've got.
I think there's also a bit of misunderstanding of the midfielders. Camavinga and Kante are true box to box midfielders. They're both wrongly categorised as DMs.
Agonisingly just wide from Wirtz
To be fair, no one heard of him before Leverkusen won the title. Let the man have his fun.
Even without that, he's been erratic
I thought that was it
I think Spain have had some pretty terrible goalkeeping performances from keepers that play in the PL so they seem to stick to La Liga GK's these days.
How did he miss there?
And then telling you not to settle for No.2 globally?! Are they telling me not to buy their products?
Wirtz should have used the same right foot he used to score.
Probably get a better connection with it ala shanked/just on target.

Camavinga will be a CM/LW to cover for Mbappe lack of defensive work
Ave it Rudiger
Moments like that occasionally happen with all the ball-playing keepers, even the best ones. It happens with Ederson, Onana, Simón, Costa, all of them. The upside still heavily outweighs the risk.
Pedri says hi.
Wirtz had to hit the target with that chance at the end.
He's entitled to his fun, but he's going to look a right dick in the papers tomorrow morning with his pink hair after bombing out in the quarters.
Germany has got this and even during pens, they have the better keeper
Just get to the penalties .
Sending goal-kicks straight to the opposition has nothing to do with the inherent risks of "ball-playing". It's just straight up bad.
At least they are No. 2 in the world while we barley made 8th in England /s
Wirtz looks Germany's most dangerous player.
Great quality, first proper game this tournament.
I'm winded as if i was playing the whole 105, after their goal this has been breathless stuff
Isn’t Unai Simon a penalty specialist? Think Spain have the edge there.
Merino is a good player.
If this is a shit game, what do you actually enjoy ?
Handball?
Pen?
Oh that's a pen
What upside? It was a goal kick. No pressure or anything, just poor. Someone that's good at passing shouldn't be messing up a goal kick like that, never mind twice in the same match. Really poor.
Now that's not a hand ball ?
Imagine you're Danish right now.
