It's Olmo's goal, but Kounde has robbed him of an absolute worldie.

Lack of Grizou is a weird one. He’s had a super disappointing tournament but he’s still the closest thing they have to a genuine playmaker
Much prefer watching this iteration of the Spain team than the tika taka of 15 years ago.
I am happy. Hope France will attack now. Deschamps is a criminal.
Really? Unfortunate. Every time I have watched him the man has been kind of a menace.
France really miss Pogba to switch the ball from side to side and being their wide forwards into 1v1 situations.
Cucurella, what a tournament
Yamal and Olmo are quality.
2 minutes? Rabiot was down for longer than that and there has been 3 goals. Stupid timekeeping.
Man, this is such a likable or at the very least watchable Spain team.
Yep, should have been an easy call.He was in the D
Indeed.
We had three fecking goals, why only 2 minutes?
I'm sure similar was said last tournament and possibly the one before. Olmo is incredible to watch, but he's riddled which injury problems sadly. Always seems to be available for Spain mind you.
Williams is really silky in the ball
That shot might have been going out. Kounde deflected in.
Both goals were avoidable.
Both goals were avoidable.
Watching Xaviesta in prime wasn't that bad
The way cheating Spain feign injury ….cnuts
The way Spanish players can confidently fire passes at teammates in tight situations because they trust their technique, is how Ten Hag needs to have our lads trust Mainoo to get the best out of him.
Kounde deserves a yellow for that haircut.
Great to see Spain bring it to them. France and Mbappe in particular need to step out of their shell now.
Pretty decent first half, I thought this would be a borefest tonight and would end 0-0 after 90 minutes
Ref got tired of nacho's antics, ends the half
France have nothing in midfield to break the lines, too easy for Spain to sit in and force them to look for longer passes out wide.
For Spain it was tedious as feck. Looked better when teamed up with Messi and Villa mind.
The kid it's amazing, but Dani is a jewell way under the radar since time
Great game so far.
Best half of the tournament
I did actually. Wasn't particularly impressed.
Absolutely. It's night and day. Really entertaining
Zaire-Emery can't get minutes in this midfield right now?
That'll be our game tomorrow.
Decent first half, not sure I’ve enjoyed it quite as much as the BBC people have, but I’d be happy if we got another 45 of that.
Why Olmo plays for Leipzig still? He looks absolute quality every time I watch him playing.
Meanwhile: Kane, Rice and Bellingham are busy bitching about pressure...
tbf that could easily be a red if they deemed it deliberate (which it looked like).
France are playing like France except for the opening 10-15min which were good. Zero creativity in our team, Kante terrible on the ball sadly, the others take too long to release a forward pass. Can't be mad at losing vs a better team overall
Deschamps has make changes in that midfield. France has nothing there to initiate any attack.
