Yes, I couldn't agree more they've got a really compact squad, that's got not just aged players and players from just Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao having majority of the players also made the team chemistry more diverse, rather than just Barcelona's tiki taka or Madrid counter pressing game, this team's got a little bit of everything defensively, possession of the ball, counter attacking and even penetrative attacking style, They've very young players, mid age players and veteran, which means there should be a good transition for this team as well over the next few years.

Seriously there is a much needed balance in the team, the players were both diversify in not just age but also the clubs they play for, when I saw Jesus Navas today replacing the absent Carvajal I was wowed he was selected to come play. The defensive line which to me has been one of Spain strongest points against opponents was played by most of the experienced and aged players, the midfield had a mid age guys in it and then the attack had the wingers to be young and pacey ones. This to me was a well structured team and squad by the coach. Even his substitute were definitely the right ones. olmo replaced Pedri was superb that’s more reason why you need to have proper squad depth in tournaments like. For me as things go like this I don’t think any nation can stop them, they are just too good, this is the Spain of 2008 to 2012

Well done Spain. I hope they'll drive the victory till the end, still another half to go.
I think the worst la Fuente could do right now is to set his team defensively to protect the score. They should keep pressing and looking to score a 3rd one and then maybe move back a little bit.
This should be their best outing this tournament. The keep getting better every match. The match tonight bring so much memories and remind me of the Spanish team of 2010 that lifted the world cup in South Africa. Now that France is out of the way, I think Spain deserve to win the trophy because I do not think either of England and Netherland will be able to stop them. One interesting thing about the team is that there is a blend of the old and the new, this means they have both the experience and energy in the same team.
The only difference this Spanish team have with that of 2010 was the individual big names that the team of 2010 had. That 2010 Spanish team had more midfielders who where majorly made from Barcelona and Real Madrid, that team was topnotch compared to this one. But then every team has its own uniqueness, and this particular Spanish team are unique in their own way, however We've seen some individual brilliance from Dani olmo, Nico Williams and yamal and rest of them, so I will still give them some good credit.

I wasn't even surprise about the result because I knew the France team have been performing poorly since the Inception of the tournament, Portugal where not just lucky to have good finishers that could do the work for them, if not it would have ended with Portugal, as France wouldn't have made it this far.

Wether Netherland or England can stop the Spanish team is what I can't really phantom at the moment, because the both teams are not as aggressive as Spain when it comes to attack but let's just be open minded and see who will win the the game between Netherland and England before we start to prophesy.

Yamal is a boy wonder, 16 years old and already an important pillar for Spain while Olmo was a crucial player to decide Spain's victory.

After the second half, we saw that Spain were no more impressive in attack as they balanced to defend as they were able to do throughout the second half time, especially France from the pressure of the attack they made still messy Mbappe several times created opportunities but it failed to become a goal.

Spain waiting for the Netherlands or England? Let one of them qualify, I think Spain remains the favorite to win the Euro championship this time.
Sometimes I can't believe that he is 16 years old and that he uses his talents so well at that age. Today, the fate of the match for Spain was in Yamal's hands. Actually, I mean he was on his feet. He scored a very clean goal. As you said, Mbappe made good runs, but he did not finish well, his accuracy rate was low, and the shots he hit accurately were not difficult shots for the goalkeeper.

I think the Netherlands will beat England, the reason for this is that the Netherlands will play a very fast-paced game on England and I think they will not be able to keep up with the tempo.

Indeed Spain as be the best team ever, is now that I realised why I didn't support them from the beginning but now they got me, Yamal name is just been call all over again and again, he really a special player because he has make a lot of record in the tournament, he has be come the youngest player in the history of this Euro tournament, this is really an opportunity for him, so he should continue to work hard and be Messi of yesterday.
Don't speak about him becoming the feature Messi, Fati really did well before his injury which changed everything.
Yamal is good and as been a key factor for Spain getting to the finals, we can say he probably be the best player of the tournament though I didn't rate them highly earlier but I knew they would get to the quater-finals at most since they're having good squad and base on their performance in the last world Cup where they were knocked out in the penalty shootout, which I thought they may face similar fate in this tournament but I guessed I was wrong.

England vs Spain, that's what I still think will be the final match but to be frank no match would be much interesting than the Germany vs Spain match.

Spain played a very comfortable semi final match. We've seen in previous games that France is not good and this game was no different. It was a miracle for France that they even made it to the semi finals, they played pretty bad and didn't deserve to be here, now they are finally eliminated. Spain, on the other hand, was the favorite from the first game of the tournament and now they are the first team to reach the final. Lamine Yamal added to his record with a stunning goal. Dani Olmo was also pretty good. Spain is favorite in the final, no matter who they face.

After trying several times to make their glory era back it seems that for this Euro they are much better than before because seeing from the way of playing and the schemes carried out they can be a team that is said to be worthy of being in the final and even becoming a champion even though the average player they bring this season is young.

This is definitely a good thing for Spain because this opportunity is very rare for them after the Spanish era dominated by Barcelona and Madrid players a decade ago which managed to become the golden era of Spain at that time must be lost and now they are just in the final again for the Euro.
Their play today was very good and they deserve to be in the final. Although France also played very well and even scored the first goal in today's match but they had to let go that they had to be eliminated for this competition.

You are very much correct bro, among the two teams left in the competition, I don't think any of them have the capacity to defeat this Spanish team, because they are really really good.

Before the start of this game I was telling one of my guy at the viewing center where we usually watch football matches that at this point, no team including this France team can stop Spain not winning this trophy, because the German team was the only team I believe that have such capacity to defeat them, but the Spanish team stood strong that day and defeated the Germans, even though they were quite lucky, after that game I just gave them the trophy because no team currently in the competition can defeat this Spanish team now, and I have been proven right, and that is how they are going to defeat either the Netherlands or England in the finals, so a big congratulations to the Spanish team for getting to the finals of this year uefa euros cup.

Lamine Yamal is a hot topic of conversation everywhere today - not only on Instagram, but on Twitter too. He is the youngest player to perform well until the semifinals at Euro 2024 - not only did he get assists, but Lamine also scored a goal in an important match. Lamine and the team have reached the final of this Euro 2024 and are one step away from becoming champions - but yes, they are still waiting for the opponent between the Netherlands or England.

What a goal from Yamal, Spain is clearly the best team so far in this competion.
The left side of the table was terrible with all the top team on that side, only England and Italy were on right side.

The final should be England - Spain but England need to wake up, so far they slept and they can't beat this Spain with their poor perfomance.
If England is really gonna beat Spain they need to increase their performance,Spain had been the best team so far interm of performance and it will be hard for any team to take them out.
Although finals are exceptional, I don't underestimate the final matches as both team will put in their max-effort to secure the trophy for their country but if England is actually thinking of beating Spain (eventually they meet) they need b wake up just as you've said, Spain isn't here for any joke  Smiley

I think I liked how the semi finals turned out. Teams on either side were clearly a threat although, it was with ease to predict on Spain advancing to the finals ahead of France. Spain have been in the game right from the group stage, putting in their all and showed much of that in today’s match. When they realized pushing forward would be more risky for the team, especially with the fact that they are the winning side, the changed approach to more of holding the ball and giving those passes, maintaining possession, waiting on France to give themselves up.

France however had some great opportunities to equalize and even with some of the best qualities in the team that you would have wanted those chances for and that’s Theo and Mbappe.
For Theo, his left foot gave him up as the ball fell to his right while, Mbappe was too quick to go for power instead of just guiding the ball to the far corner which would have been more difficult for the goalkeeper to have anything on it.

It was an interesting watch and the youngsters of Spain did it all for the Spaniard today.

I totally agree with you, for me France is a very good team, but I think Mbappé has to partner with another striker. If Deschamps does not change his formation, I think they will lose, and badly, because Spain is very well integrated. In fact, if this Spain of now had been in Qatar, I think they would have even been able to compete in the final, but the incompetence of Luis Enrique meant that this team did not give its best. For me Spain is at a much higher level as a team. For France to beat them I see it as extremely difficult.

And finally France lost a decisive match after several years of unbeaten streak
I won the bet, finally too, because I was on a bad streak  Cheesy

France didn't play badly, they were better than I thought, but this Spain team has everything it takes to win this edition of Euro
What caught my attention was the fatigue of the two teams in the second half, it was very visible

As expected Spain was able to qualify for the final, and proved that France was completely unable to stop the movement of young Spanish players such as Lamine Yamal and Willlam Jr. And Yamal goal was the first goal scored from outside the penalty box, because Spain always scores goals inside the penalty box. Overall, even though they were trailing 0-1, Spain remained calm with control of the ball, even though in the second half the many substitutions made by France still did not make a difference, there were quite a lot of opportunities but once again France had problems is the difficulty of scoring goals. Mbappe and Hernandez had several opportunities but still deviated from the target.

My bet today was profitable because from the start I was optimistic that Spain could qualify.

Interestingly enough, all the goals (so far) were scored in the first 25 minutes and now with 15 minutes left in the game (if the score remains unchanged there will be no extra time) the score is still 2-1. Live quotes are as follows:

1.34 - 3.85 - 23.00

Bookmakers clearly don't believe in France and neither do I haha. Especially these attacks with mounted passes - they don't seem to be effective at all.
Why would you believe in France, since the competition started they have shown that they certainly playing on luck and so far luck has brought them this very close to the finals but with the way things are looking I think their luck will definitely run out this night because Spain are really at it now and the only way that France could miraculous do something is when they through counter attack to mbappe and hope he does some kind of magic with his runs and deadly finishes.
The match is over and France is out of the competition as Yamal sent them packing in the semifinals. Yamal is the youngest player in history to play in Euros semifinals and is also the youngest to score in Euros and the world cup breaking Pele's record as the youngest player who played in the world cup at 17yrs 235days of age. Yamal was the one that made the assist which led to Olmo goal. I think Spain is capable of winning the finals and go home with the trophy.
That kid is awesome.... he's good in creating  big chances which is what almost every team looks out for in player. He did well not today alone but  right from onset of the tournament expecting more. Dani also secured the second goal as a result of chance created by Yamal  :)what a young star,definitely he's gonna break some records.
I knew the game wasn't gonna end up in penalties,France really tried to break that but there was no chance for that today.. onto the next round a new epic journey awaits.

France were unable to press further towards the end of the match so it's appropriate that the bookies gave high odds for France, obviously when the ball is in Spain's possession it is more difficult to recover.

Mbappe and Hernandez's chances were pretty good but their shots were wide of the mark, especially Mbappe.
Now it is clear that Spain is the favorite to win the Euro.
