Nothing happened in the second half, France attacked more in the second half but could not score a second goal and were eliminated from the cup. Spain became the first team to advance to the final. Spain will find out who their opponent will be tomorrow. Spain will most likely win the cup because England and Holland are not playing well.
They're not playing well don't mean they won't win the Competition. You could do it all, play it all and still lose everything. Go see the game between Real Madrid against Manchester City in the recent Champions League Competition.
That said, it's one thing to attack, it's another to create chances which can hurt and exploit your opponents. France lacked that creativity and players who could take such risks in that game. Right now is not the time to cry and lament.
I'm just here to say that the Spanish coach did well with his selections and also his decisons when it came to bringing and substituting a player off and on the pitch.
I hate the so much hype around that Lamine Yamal guy who was even nowhere to be found during the second half. ( Yeah, majority would say he already had a goal to his name already )
I would rather give credits to players like Fabian Ruiz, Rodri and also Laporte, because these are all stand out players who are the core players for the national team. I'm proud of them but they should be weary of Holland. They're my next favorite to win the Competition.
In today's game, Spain players had confidence from the start of the game, as France team played well from the start and the result of the game was 2-1 in the first half time. However, the French team does not get a chance to attack later due to the strong defenders of the Spanish team.
But Spandan could have succeeded by more margins, as the two balls that the France goalkeeper saved himself were the most difficult to attack. Lamini Yamal and Danilo Olmo have made the dreams of these two players come true, as the chances of a Euro season cup are high.
This Spanish side builds almost same as Pep Guardiola does with Manchester City. If you want to stop them, you'd need a diamond formation with players who can avoid unnecessary bookings, control their emotions and are good handlers of the ball on and off pressure and also during possession.
You'll have to out play Fabian Ruiz and Rodri and Ngolo Kante and Rabbiot couldn't do that last night. I expected more from them and the same from Germany.
Hoping Cody Gakpo scores tommorow so he could be lined up for the golden boot.
